Inking continued

These are some smaller inkblots I did on some paper I found in the living room. I think something was shipped in it, kinda newsprinty.
I like these small ones, but the one above is my least favorite.
The images, in a way, decide their own orientation. When I make them I just set them aside and figure out later how they should be turned.
The larger ones are kind of unusual because the consistency of the paint I was using was not spreading throughout the paper. Less blotty more spotty.
This one was interesting to me because it made me think of this specific area of the body. I tried to position it below with what I was thinking.
I've been really interested with doing these blots because the projective personality tests I have been studying. It is this idea that an image can be anything to anyone, I like the idea that there is no wrong interpretation of the work. I've always hated art history classes making me think of a piece of art in one specific way. I like the freedom to read into things and find meaning within myself.
