Something I’m going to start doing a bit more is post some of my own work. This painting started as a sketch I did for Christianity Today Magazine about a man who died of throat cancer. The magazine went with another sketch that I equally liked but I thought it would a shame not to do a final for this image as well. Like I’ve mentioned in other posts I’ve been very interested in concentrating circles. One of the things I find fascinating about them is that they can be used to point to things. When adding color they can create an emotional and physical response like this one pinpointing the associated pain of the cancer or like in Luke Painter’s animation (see here) an emergence and build up of power. Another part of this paining that I enjoyed making were the cells. I looked at a lot of beautiful and grotesque images of cancer cells. They have an amazing motion that was fun to try and capture.
