Artist's Comments

this is a propaganda poster for one of my all time favorite books, george orwell's animal farm.
this poster illustrates the initial belief that all animals are equal. this is before the pigs, lead by napoleon gained control and declared that all animal are equal but some are more equal than others. I might do one illustrating that belief at a later date.

i chose to use a cyrillic looking font as part of this design because the book is, in many ways, a commentary on post-revolution russia and totalitarian governments.

the symbols in the corners are part of the official animal farm flag as described in the book and in the cartoon.

Woh, this makes me think of Watership down, for some reason. And I love that russian look to it.

This is cool. Very well done (like most of your stuff) the only crit (or observation) would be is that it's not that dissimilar from a lot of the other pieces you've done in the last few months.

The style is nice, but I guess I'm looking to see a little more of a twist on the theme... (?)

thanks. i enjoy doing this "style" a lot and this piece to fit with the others.

but yeah, i know what you are saying. for some reason i had a lot of trouble with this one. it didn't come about as easily as the others. to me, it felt kind of forced, like some one made me do it. i re-worked it several times and i'm still not 100% happy with it. i think i will probably take a break from this style and work on a new approach.

thanks for the comments:)

What texture did you use? And where did you get that typo? Guess its something like Lenin or Soviet, right?
