Boxes of life--- Heaven

[nikklemomo]

Hi everyone, long time no see. Haha, I spent a long long time to consider how this piece should go, could describe my " boxes of life" theme better. I guess here it comes, wish you would like it and comments always welcome.

I name it " Heaven", but definitely it's not a joyful story. From the couple's sort of gossip dialogue, we can't help to ask ourselves: what's the value of our life in other peoples' eyes? Will they gonna stop their pace a while if one day we suddenly disappear? How does heaven look like? Is it really a bright, warm and free place, or is it more like a dark, cold, restricted reality?

I don't know the exact answers, just have the feeling that as long as you were a human being, you could never escape from different kinds of box, even one day you decide to give up on these boxes of life, looking for that perfect heaven, you could be just jumping from one big box to another , an even colder,darker and more restricted one.

Well, above are the reasons I created this drawing. And I need to thank Steven very much, for his warm help on editing the text and font used. Wala, wish you guys enjoy it.

Beautiful work there nikklemomo!

What did program(s) did you use? How long did it take? Do you have any progress pics of the process? Any tips to share?

Ah, thank you very much 3ncryptabl3_lick．First I drew down my concept with pencil, scanned it, and then color with photoshop. How long, hmm~ I don't know, because I didn't finish it in one time, and spend me quite long time to consider how to continue with the whole concept. Sorry, I guess I only have pencil sketch right here and the final version like you have seen above. Thank you once again!

The artwork is amazing for sure. So there you are with a well executed piece, how would you see yourself distributing it if you wanted to get it in front of people (if you haven't already). Poster campaign? Flyers on vehicles at strategically selected events? Blog? Just curious what potential you see...beautiful piece.

Thank you ThoughtDistrict//DT, wow, I guess you must have done all those methods to distribute your works, because you gave me a lot of good advices for showing my works. Well, actually this piece is one of my concept theme " boxes of life" works. And now I'm still busy with it, so I guess when I finish the whole concept, I will choose exhibition way to show my works. Ah, below are some other works in this concept, wish you guys would like them too

I also think the work is great . I like the side by side theme your using with both so different but tied together. I wish some of the last pictures you posted were a bit larger and easier to read the text but overall I love the work.
