The Soul of ~~~~
Or Why I hate my computer engineering job
A work in progress.
Perhaps nothing encapsulates who we are better than the Soul of ~~. This statement of our values, beliefs and aspirations is at the heart of what makes us a great company. At the core of The Soul of ~~ are the members of our team who everyday, throughout the world, demonstrate our commitment to Customers, the ~~ team, Direct Relationships, Global Citizenship and Winning.
Just an interesting effect I got by holding my thumb over the flash, PS’d a bit to make it look a bit more colourful.

Philip Rogan
Very nice, redthumbed it then! Excellent.
theyellowfury
Thanks again Phil. I have a crap camera so you have to do stuff like that soemtimes.
cartoonjohn
Love the intensity and color play
theyellowfury replied
Cheers John. I must scan him properly at high res. Not now though, I’m on my way to cursed work. I’m totally focused about doing a really bad job tonight and talking to mates while I should be working. When I get home the proper (art) work will begin.
cartoonjohn
Embrace work and it will get better. see it as a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block. I did it for 30 years. your work is all really good, I looked thru all of it. you really express your inner hurt thru art well. Keep at it.
theyellowfury replied
Groovy mister. Strong emotions good or bad need to be expressed or else, well remember that scene from Scanners where the guy’s head explodes?
cartoonjohn
exactly and you express thru art like a scream in a bathroom. got my attention right away. liked all I looked at.
theyellowfury replied
You might have me wrong, I’m a pretty calm person really but I think it’d be funny too see the faces of some of my upper level management, directors etc should they ever see what I did when I thought of my job.
And I might get a sideways promotion to cleaning toilets into the bargain, but what a story you’d have.
Its good healthy positive disdain for those I love to hate.
You gotta hate someone, why not a set of complete arseholes?
Does that explain it better?
cartoonjohn
ha ha ha haha ha ha ha gave me a good laugh thanks
jemimalovesbigted
I am all for hating assholes. Don’t think I could express it as succinctly as this though! Nice work.
theyellowfury replied
I was never called succinct before. Thanks you so much.
deliriousgirl
JFC!!! Just brilliant!!!!
theyellowfury replied
Much appreciated. I paraphrased the blurb from their internal propaganda and just excluded the company name.
deliriousgirl
I know the feeling exactly! I also work within a system of such bureaucratic nonsense and narrowmindedness that it makes my head want to explode on some days.
On some days, though, I leave floating on air and very satisfied.
Frank Stillitano
It’s ironic that a message about ‘lack of soul’ has so much of it!
Nice.
theyellowfury replied
Spot on man. Thanks.
Daniel Rayfield
I feel like this too when working on computers, I hate the frickin things its not my fault I am good with them, Fantastic work bud….
theyellowfury replied
Thanks man. I put it down on paper so I don’t have to think about it. Sort of.
Or its good to feel and identify what you dislike, take it in and process it til its in its purest form and then blast it onto a piece of paper.
Daniel Rayfield
lol cool
Jen Cannella
Brilliant work!
theyellowfury replied
Thanks Jen.
Paul Compton
I never knew a computer engineering job could literally rip your heart out! I’ll be sure to stay away from that profession. Great work by the way : )
theyellowfury replied
Thanks man. I only feel this strongly about it some days.

EPic ….................. dig it
theyellowfury replied
Thanks Blam. The comments are the best bit of this page.
Thanks everyone.
Ushna Sardar

theyellowfury
Thanks Ushna. I’m very pleased wth today’s work so far. Hopefully I’ll get it posted before I go to bed in about 12 hours. Keep em peeled.
Michael Gatch
awesome morbid work.
theyellowfury replied
Thanks Mick. I think I got more of a response to this than anything.
berisme
very cool! :)
theyellowfury replied
Thank you.
JenniferB
oh… some of your work is so tangibly hot! ouch! I sure wish I couldn’t feel things with quite the intensity that I do… WFS! (wonderful fucking stuff) ;)
theyellowfury replied
Thank you. Yours too.
April Mansilla
love this so much pain and power in your works!
theyellowfury replied
Thanks April. If I get the pain onto a page I don’t have to keep it in my head. Pain and Power eh? Sounds like a concept to me, or a brief at any rate.
April Mansilla
ah a painting a day keeps the doctor away ….yep I get it :)
James Lillis
Inspiring stuff! Got any jobs going? I love mission statements.
...and that artwork is craaaaazy-good.
theyellowfury replied
Thanks James for that whopper. If you’re not too busy have a look at my new stuff, it beats the shite out of this.
James Lillis
Wow – so it’s kind of like your artwork is involved in a fight. I’ll definitely check out your other stuff (as long as it stops beting up your other artwork).
Hey, what if your newer stuff travels through the internet and starts beating up my artwork…! No way!
theyellowfury replied
I keep it in check with chains and massive locks, don’t worry.
LostBoy
mad piece…
theyellowfury replied
Thank you. Nice new avatar.
Crocked

aglaia b

great touch with your thumb too! ;-)
theyellowfury replied
Thank you. I’m on a weekanabit’s holidays starting in a few hours. I can’t wait to get stuck into my drawing for a whole week.
olechka
Oooh looks like something out of Mortal Kombat :)
theyellowfury replied
Thank you. I’m a Tekken veteran myself. Its just an everyday feeling visualized.

Brilliant !
theyellowfury replied
Thanks Jase.
WayoftheWarrior
Yesssssssss! Great
theyellowfury replied
Thanks Homey.
Antanas
Perfect
theyellowfury replied
Thank you. This is my second most popular piece, and it kind of fell together by accident, must have been a strong image in my subconscious.
Damien Venditti
love this ….. you mentioned it was a work in progress
looks great already
theyellowfury replied
Thanks Damo. Actually I was going to scan it properly but since it was so popular I left it alone.
linaji
Love the feel and the words to let us into your life a bit.. We would love for you to consider our group with this piece:
theyellowfury replied
You’re on.
LinaJ
this is great work!
theyellowfury replied
Thank you. It came together by accident.
ellena
The heart it’s gone…the right brain gone too…I love this, looks finished to me
theyellowfury
Thank you, it means a lot coming from such a formidable artist. I was gonna do more but it just netted so many comments I left it. You can’t make them out in this one but anything that was cut out is in the pile at the bottom. I normally scan them but this was just a quick shot while the scanner was out of action.
Anthony R. Pla...
So I wonder how I ever missed this! Fantastic work Simon! Heh – all the rhetoric on the right… So true, and it seems like everytime they want you to drink a little more “kool-aid” they come up with another trite saying…
theyellowfury replied
Yeah, I’m the fkn soul of it, not their poster boys and girls.
Anthony R. Pla...
Ahh yes, the beautiful people he he…
theyellowfury replied
I wouldn’t call them that but they’re definitely suckers of satan’s cock.
theyellowfury replied
Oh and thanks by the way.
Adam Godman

theyellowfury replied
Satan! Are you on this in work? Tut tut, Mick’d be very upset.
I’ll make sure you’re looked after when the revolution comes.
We’ll need men like us to exploit the masses.
Welcome to this place.
Firedrake
I like the red light you get when the flash trieds to shine through your flesh. This piece really suits it.
theyellowfury replied
