Things I thought of before beginning:
- warm colors to represent intimacy 

- flat and broad brush strokes to simulate his style

- intimate environment (something meaning a lot to me)

- slightly distorted details, but retaining shape enough to distinguish what it is

Since I can't draw people, I decided to draw my desk with Simon's technique and style. Simon's painting has 19 people and a full room. Because of that, the painting seems to be bustling with energy. My desk is packed full of things, so I think I can somehow get the liveliness aspect through this concentration. I tend to stay in my apartment a lot, so it means quite a bit to me (and also holds all my stuff). Instead of my relationship with people, I sought to portray my relationship with things important to me (sometimes because they represent my relationship with people: presents, things I got from certain events).
