Artist's Comments

This took too many hours in photoshop. time i should have been doing uni asignments.

This is not an anti-war propaganda piece. Its more something that came from a thought i was having the other day. Just how much we humans use violence to solve our problems. Does this solve them? How quickly do people resort to some form of violence when threatened, cornered or restrained.

The latin writing at the top roughly translates to "Hell calls Hell", a latin saying meaning 'One mistep leads to another'.

We use violence to solve our problems, get our way... but does this just lead to more violence?

Yeah i know.... this leads to a lot of philosophical and ethical discourses...

Anyway.. enjoy..

EDIT
Thank you all so much for the comments and :+fav:'s. A big thank you to :iconaeires: for the DD feature :)

Trigger Pin Politics by *Dejas blows me away for both the incredible quality and the deep and well written description. Violence breeds violence, the hope is that peace echoes the pattern. (Featured by `Aeires)

violence does seem to bring on more violence. one could even say violence in an endless cycle inherent in human nature (thus in human society). the real question then, in my opinion, is whether the cycle can be broken?

I really like how tight everything looks. It actually looks more like it was done in illustrator. it has the feel of a very militant propoganda poster to it. good work.

stop mocking my lack of sensability...
:icondejas:
thank you :)
yeah i should prob start doin this stuff in illustrator.... but i don't know it as well as photoshop ;)

As to whether the sycle can be broken.... look at the last few thousand years of human history.... i guess ultimately only time will tell
