based on the quote "A sword, a spade, and a thought should never be allowed to rust. " -James Stephens
to divulge a little more, I'd like to say i learned more about this image while doing it. My initial thoughts where making the knight represent thought, the broom the spade, and the moth the sword, but as i developed the image, I came to the realization the the moth was in fact the thought, attracted to the flame in the knight, who represented the sword himself, while the flaming broom was the spade/tool. Each could not exist without the other.
a little deep for me, ha, but i really enjoyed doing it!
the softness of your work is AMazing.

ReplyDeleteI am really liking the Perfume poster. Fantastic work, and the one above is handled incredibly well.
ReplyDeleteHey Sam- just saw your piece on ArtOrder. Jon was right to praise you, your work is beautiful. Great imagery and execution- very Sam Weber but still your own.
ReplyDelete-Thanks scott!
ReplyDelete-Thank you Kristina, your work is very beautiful as well!
Im always trying to step out of Sam Webers shadow, hah, but its really hard to conceal how much he inspires me. i mean, i know its not the worst thing in the world :]
I absolutely love this one Sam. Gorgeous. I wouldn't worry too much about the Sam Weber influence too much. I still think this has plenty of your own imagery and artist's touch.
