The concept o fbeauty in destruction is very important in my eyes. I managed to transform a fairly new piece of work to look like it has been through years and years of destruction. The words in the poem seem to match with the piece when said, "Before this dream fades and the words fade and the colors fade." The burned edges and ripped pieces make it seem as though the picture is fading.
I wanted to use my inspiration in art (my father) in my piece and throw what I have learned along with it. There is a blend of older styles and more modern styles and showing the beauty in mixing the two. The old look of the originally drawn piece combined with the use of Photoshop is an example of the clash of the two different kinds of media used. The decision to print smaller is to keep a more intimate feel with the photo do that details can be appreciated as they are and not to be distorted.
