Photographic based digital montage – Feb, 2008. Created over several hrs 2 nights this week (suffering from concussion) from an accidental fall over the wk’end. Photoshop montage combining digital shots of jewels, samples of vintage wallpaper and added drawn elements. Fifty layers retouched, blended, filtered, colour & tonal curve adjusted. Considering using the design as a furniture (upholstering) velvety fabric for a small round bedroom foot stool.
Just a little spin off from the handgun image i was working on…mixed with talking about this expression. “words are weapons” the other day. Its kinda a bit existenz meets aliens…creepy like. Anywho, One to raise the awareness that people should watch what they say as it can hurt the feelings of other people. I could have gone the other way and called it shooting off your mouth, but hey…im the peaceful type at heart. / ;-)
If you’re constantly exposed to it, I fail to see how it can’t affect you. / I just whipped this up tonight after being inspired again to create by Scott Robinson.

Peace keepers, Department of Defence and other euphemisims. Is peace really peaceful when it is enforced with weapons? This t-shirt was featured in the group ‘Things That Are Black’ in December 2009
Child’s Play – Think Again / The AK-47 Russian automatic rifle designed in 1947, is amongst the most smuggled weapons of recent times, finding its way to conflicts in the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. / In countries like Rwanda, Mozambique, Congo and Ethiopia this weapon was used by up to 100,000 children in armed conflict in 2005. Today it is estimated that there are between 200,000-300,000 children serving as soldiers for rebel groups and government forces in current armed conflicts. / Source – Human Rights Watch Child’s Play 2 /

I think ever since him and I met and started talking, I always thought to myself either “Dude, this guy would be an awesome dad” or “I want to be like him when I grow up.” He’s got a good heart, and the Universe often seems to just be after him… and that sucks. Tryin to keep a brotha DOWN! But yes. I’d have his back if he needed help, cause a big guy with a big heart who gets flooded with a ton of crap, needs a break every now and again with the help of his friends. More recently, he’s done something that really only further inspired me, and amplified my want to do this picture, as it felt so appropriate. Belic has amazing stregnth and determination when it comes to helping others, who’s not afraid to be himself or do what he thinks is right no matter how hard it is for him. Ya sounds a little cheesy, but ya know what? I more than respect that about him, I frickn love that about him. I look up to him in that aspect. :) I’ve had this idea stuck in my head for months, of Belic about to beat the shit out of a great white shark with dynamite and a pic axe. It’s a metaphor, to where the pic-axe represents effort, and the shark represents troubles. The dynamite doesn’t represent anything, it’s just dynamite to blow shit up. Pushed this thing out as soon as my schedule freed up, and got it done pretty quick. I experimented with a few things here, like the style for one. It’s a bit on the comic/illustrative side with some exaggerated lines. I was going for a little bit of dynamics and I tried to limit my colors, and I was also trying to work within a perfect-square composition. This entire style was inspired by an awesome artist, named Jared Moratis (Pop Monkey)... It’s very ‘skater-ish’ with the almost obnoxiously saturated colors and outlines. Love the style. Artfulreggie and IG_Kirk helped me out with this one with brainstorming. :)
