Made for a tafe class. We had to choose two 'truisms' and make works 'inspired' by these truisms. I strongly disslike Jenny Holzer's work but still managed to find a couple of acceptable statements to use.

This is "The world operates according to discoverable laws."

I wanted to make something that used vector in a slightly different way to what I have so far, being slightly cartoony, but very flat, illustration. I also wanted to use a LOT of texture. I think I satisfied these goals. I originally wanted to do more with the works but lost interest.

Original size 3600x6400 (9:16)

Textures are from Stock.XCHNG ('no usage restrictions') and the border is a Resurgere creation.

I will submit the second image shortly...



PS I made a truism of my own:
"If you must project your thoughts on the side of a building make sure they are not the thoughts of a dickhead."

Basically most of her statements are either totally stupid or bleeding obvious, a lot of them contredict also, i.e.
"LABOR IS A LIFE-DESTROYING ACTIVITY"
and
"MANUAL LABOR CAN BE REFRESHING AND WHOLESOME"

Some arn't even of her own creation, i.e.
"SOME STONES ARE BETTER LEFT UNTURNED"

Anyway enough Holzer bashing for the moment.
