two weird worlds

one reflects our staying within our inner world; the other reflects exploring the world around us. neither is right or wrong, more superior than the other, and both are valid and important.
both share a similar pattern that resembles an overview of earth and both share an intentional random use of colours.

“great weird world” is about the power that’s in a diverse community, whether near or far.
weird in this context is a good thing—the world is meant to be to diverse.
the random different types of colours are meant to portray the idea that we can come from anything, look like anything, be a mix of anything…and still belong here.
when i couldn’t decide if this should be vertical or horizontal because both worked, i thought, “why not give people the option?” so i signed it diagonally in the corner and called it accessibility.
“weird little world” reflects the comfort we feel from staying within our weird little world, often choosing to not let anyone into it.
it’s okay to be selective, but i think it’s important to make connections and sometimes let people into our weird little worlds. to me, making and sharing any of my creative work has always been a good way to let people in that feels natural to me.
the colour scheme for this is a bit all over the place, complex, and is kind of random (like nothing is connected or related). this is often reflective of what our internal worlds are like to anyone else before they know us.
the title was inspired by good will hunting and the quote “we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds.”
The topographic earth pattern on both is something I started doodling a lot a couple years ago.
I’d like to say "it came from my weird little world.”
