Last time I did one of these, it was things that I was considering putting in my images. This time, I'm going to put down words that I want my work to embody and communicate.

I was just browsing Netflix and saw the cover photo for Amusement, I bet the movie is awful but some of the film stills were awfully uncomfortable. Have you thought of looking at some classic horror movies to see how other people create feelings of uncomfortable emotions in their viewers?
