THE KING IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE KING.

Luke Dixon

This print has to be one of my favorites, and it's not just because i love skulls. The level of detail in this piece is fantastic, the direction and flow of each line adds more and more to the shape of the body till it looks entirely 3D. If you squint at this piece it looks real! I love the fine line between graphics and illustration being pushed as far as it can go and it's really pushed here! the varying thickness of each line is what makes up this image. It's pieced together like a puzzle! I also like the fact that this has blatant elements of cartoony style shading which i was always told at school was the wrong way to go. The fact that this image and others like it are being created with this level of artistic professionalism in spite of what art teachers have told me in the past is brilliant. I also like this because it's not an obvious image like the others he's created, the breaking bad prints for example. I like to see different and new prints as much as my favorite TV shows, if not more!
