Regarding Saving Copies of Art (IMPORTANT READ):
-
When art is downloaded and printed without compensation to the artist, it significantly impacts the artist's ability to make a living as a creator.
We can try, but we can't stop anyone from doing this if they really wanted to.
It's important to really think about what this means - if it becomes a normal practice for everyone, artists won't be able to afford to continue creating art.
Please know I fully support printing artwork via whatever means work best for you. I want to help ensure my art looks as best as it can in your home.
Digital Downloads are only $3, are sent instantly via email , and include high quality files of the artwork in five different aspect ratios (including one for device backgrounds).
I also include a printing guide so that you can use the best Aspect Ratio for your desired size which you can order online or via your desired local printer.
Supporting my art can be as simple as purchasing a digital download. It's an easy yet meaningful way to contribute to my business!
Brothers in Straw Hats
Brothers in Straw Hats
As I painted, I felt the weight of the atmosphere thickening. I used swirling patterns of gray and white to depict the smoke, but intentionally carved a space where Zoro and Chopper would resist its grasp. With swords in hand, Zoro stands defiant, a beacon of confidence, ready to face any adversary. His posture was a joy to paint, as it radiated the protective nature he holds for his crew.
Beside him, I portrayed Chopper with a protective stance, highlighting his dual role as both healer and fighter. It was crucial for me to emphasize his readiness to stand beside Zoro, to back him up in their shared mission.
The play of light and shadow became essential tools for me. The stark differences between the obscured background and the illuminated figures of Zoro and Chopper allowed me to create a sense of emerging from adversity.
With “Brothers in Straw Hats”, I wanted to pay homage to the deep bonds within the Straw Hat crew. Through my brushstrokes, I hoped to convey their unbreakable friendship, their shared spirit, and the unwavering commitment they have to one another, even in the direst of circumstances.
