FIDDY MEN

Concept: This work explores the glorification of conflict through two different cultural lenses: the decorated war veteran and the survivalist rapper. By merging the two, the artist creates a dialogue about legacy and the "scorecards" men keep.

Visual Execution: The contrast between the clean, illustrative lines of the character and the chaotic, sharp textures of the glass and shells creates a "push-pull" effect for the viewer. The red background serves as a high-contrast field that makes the gold chain and white waistband "pop" forward.

The Resin Pour: The use of epoxy serves a dual purpose—preserving the artifacts (shells/glass) and providing a high-gloss, "bulletproof" finish that mirrors the themes of the album it references.
