(unavailable)
So often there is a misconception about the amount of work it takes to achieve a particular outcome. It is always wise to ask those who have achieved a goal you would like to achieve just how much time and effort it took. The four star results do not happen without the right amount of work and effort.
This piece is a classic example of a very active background requiring very straight and simple lettering. What makes the expressive marks work on their own (even if there was no lettering) is the variation in size of the marks and also a variation in values from light to dark. There is also a nice contrast of hard and soft lines made by applying more pressure on one side of the "cut up" credit card as the mark is being made. The lettering has taken the back seat in this one. And again we see that black, white, and gray plus one other color works every time it's tried.
