This artwork shows the aspects of greed and the love of money. The art features heavy amounts of green, as well as the fire engulfing the edge of the paper. The main image of the artwork is the large triangle in the center of the page, a dollar sign replaces the eye to symbolize how modern day society is largely centralized on money and what it can do for you. This promise of wealth often brings fools to any source of income, crime, gambling, etc. The phrase “Life is a gamble” exaggerates the larger than life idea of gambling and changing your life with the push of a button or switch of a lever. With the imagery of the money burning as it falls, the more valuable bills fall from higher with smiles on their faces while the poorer bills fall for low with frowns draped upon their heads.

Creativity is the wind beneath the sails of imagination. Creativity allows countless adventures to be adventured in the safety of the pages. Creativity births the greatest heroes, the most dastardly villains. Creativity has always been an escape for me, drawing pictures or writing to occupy my mind.
