Forgot to upload this into the 'You know what..fuck it..some more older stuff' post..was just reminiscing. one of the pieces that better incorporates my overall style i believe..why don't i have time for this stuff anymore?//
I knew exactly what i wanted out of this garbage-picked wood too(i usually stare at a blank canvas and heavily visualize what exactly what i want to do), and i knew from the second i found it that i had to take advantage of this piece, the panels, alternating them with 'B/W and color' to emphasize my theme//
Panel 1-2- positive outlook- with as much as we have going on in our lives, complications, relationships, hardships, seeing things in COLOR may only make it more difficult(it will rain, and things may get a bit messy..), we need to sometimes try to see things in BLACK and WHITE. what we have and what we don't. what matters and what doesn't, etc, and the light will shine through providing clarity.
Panel 3- she wanted 'let love win' incorporated into it, with my own style. one of my favorite parts of this piece
Panel 4- a taste of home. she attends university in Minnesota so why not take a bit of home with her? pictures of Chicago, SSPP Church steeple, NNHS football game. pay attention to the detail on that B/W to color transfer on the bottom..fsu.
Panel 4-5- more taste of home, then transitioning into a SFR piece with one of my signature abstract styles. the SFR piece representative for relationships as a 'good luck/always have hope/always love/love will always be there' sort of idea
Panel 5-6- transitions into the complications of life, and when looked at in B/W once again, you'll find out what's important. to her what's really important is religion, notice that little white cross that emerges atop the 'haze' of our daily struggles.
Panel 7- my own incorporated style again, inspired from one of my earlier high school pieces.
it means a lot more once you know what's behind the piece doesn't it?
