Shapes that inspire More

I and another designer/illustrator have watched the amazing Scott Robinson video where he uses Mac's Photo Booth to take snap shots of various items using the mirror filter to come up with interesting alien faces. I had told this other designer I use a similar method and he asked me to explain. So this is a work in progress now that I have responded. The formula I use i simple. I paint a really abstract blob in photoshop, then I use the warp tool to create another shape. I may do this several times to get something really interesting. Once I have that unique shape I will mirror the shape. Sometimes I will combined two mirrored shapes into another. This is what I have done here. Once there is enough information that my mind picks up on, the painting begins.
