The Gift
The quote reads, “The artist is nothing without the gift but the gift is nothing without work”.
The piece is a bit difficult to read, but it was done purposely.
This quote is pretty self-explanatory. Everyone needs to utilize their raw talent and not let it go to waste. Too much talent is being withheld by people these days and they do nothing with it. Every able-bodied person needs to get out in the world and show people who they are and what they can create.
All was created in PhotoShop
The light bulb was added by me because of the thought process involved with creating this piece.
My friend was saying how hard it was to create digital works because he has no idea how to and described creating these works as a talent or “gift”, and thus, putting the idea in my head for this design.
Light bulb=idea popping into head ha! The blue added a nice touch to the design in my opinion too.
Comments and critiques are much appreciated!

Good message, nice typographic placement and color choice. Especially like the light blue of the light bulb. Nice distressing techniques as well.

Really cool design. Love the gritty textured look you’ve given this.
Joey Wharton replied
Thanks for the feedback. I feel that texture completes the piece. It just didn’t look right without all of it. I’m glad you could enjoy!

The last elongated “T” in artist is a real coup!
Ya know, I was just thinking : I can read your typography works without thinking…oops, well, you know what I mean!
Love so many of them, but this has a special flavor from the texture.

Love this! I’ve been invited to go a guest blog to showcase typography as design, and I would love to feature this picture if that’s ok with you?
