Drawing influence from a classmate's previous post, I decided to go with the theme of logo tattoos for this week. Subsequently, I felt it only right to use my own :)
This picture is a modified 1875 Revolver that has been fitted with different art supplies. The hammer of the gun is a palette with paint blotches, the chamber is paint tubes, and the barrels are a Sharpie marker and a Bic mechanical pencil.
My motive behind the creation of this piece is that art is the greatest weapon in any fight that mankind can have. It can depict sides, convey messages, draw an opinion, and even offer a fantasy solution without the use of words. Art can speak the voice of the downtrodden, carry the name of the noble, and embody the sorrow of lost.
After getting this in July of 2008, I was rather ticked at a similar release on a tee-shirt labeled "Weapon of Art"
I still think mine is better!
