"In your life, you get so High,
there's nowhere left to go but down.
Don't believe,
That noone cares,
'Cause we're here waiting for you, baby."
This is for a friend of mine,
belicbear. I think every 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. Belic's one of those people who I think are awesome. 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. :)

Hehehe, yeah, it's kind of a weird thing, cause I think artwork SHOULD be able to speak for itself for the most part, but on the same time, a description caption at least, can really help see the perspective of the artist who did the picture.
Thanks a lot :) The idea for this really WAS to create a "wtf?" picture, with a very simple meaning behind it. ;)
thanks!

Hehehe, I was really considering that actually, as I've had a few people mention it would look good on a shirt. I even foresaw this possibility when I drew the picture, as it's in cmyk and everything (the original). Just gonna talk to Belic about it, once he even SEES the picture. ;p
I love surprises too much to just TELL HIM I drew something for him. I gotta have him DISCOVER it and be like "wtf? This came out of NOWHERE!"
Thanks a lot, dude! :)

Haha, well that's definitely the point of the thumbnail. ;) Thanks a lot! I appreciate the kind words!
I was a little nervous about the shark actually, cause I know with this style, with the weird and saturated colors, things can either look very fitting and look slightly strangely fitting....or end up just looking awkward (like the purple inner mouths and the not-so-white great white shark. ;)
Thanks!

:) *hugs* well thannnnk you! I apreciate it. And that's incredibly flattering that you have it as your wallpaper!
I DO have it in a higher rez. In fact, it's all vector, so I can make it as big and high-res as you want. ;) Gimmie the dimensions and resolution you need, and I'll send it over. :)
And yeah, I'm really considering the t-shirt. I'm just waiting for Belic to first see the artwork, then make sure he's okay with it. ;3

*Growling roughly to hide his emotions, the big ol' bear curls his arms around you and hugs you tight* I love ya, Pup. This pic, and the description, means more to me than you'll ever know... Thank you.
Alternate title "Fuck you, shark!" ;o) I look like I'm one of the Venture Bros!
And dude, you worked in Sloan! Like the pic wasn't bad ass enough! ;o)
Oh, and newsflash... *whispers in your ear* I think you're something special, Pup, and I got your back no matter what. I'll fuck a shark UP. *chuckles*

^^ *snugs tight* haha, finally! ;) I tried to wait for you to discover the pic yourself, but I was anxious, and just had to hurry up and PUSH you towards the picture.
I am real glad you like the picture, Bear <3 You're more than welcome. You deserve a little something and more, for being as awesome as you are, yet having all the crap you have to go through. I mean, I know a lot of nice people, but there's not too many people I know who try as hard as you do to put others first before themselves, and I feel lucky to know you.
Hahaha, and "Fuck You, Shark" is only one of the many titles that could've worked. ;) I went down a list. Then I started listening to Sloan.... which obviously reminds me of you....and I heard some nice lyrics that kinda fit...so I just had to make the connection. ;)
<=) *nuzz* and that's no newsflash, dude. I knew you'd 'fuck a shark UP' for me if I needed you to. ;3
ps. So a handful of people have said they thought this would look awesome on a t-shirt. Would that be alright with you? If I went ahead and tried to get this printed on shirts and sold em? IF not, it's totally cool. It was a picture just for YOU, first and foremost.
