I feel like the intention of his work in this cover was to basically say how we can watch something happen and instead of helping, we might make something out of it. There’s about 5 colors used in this cover, most of it green where it causes your eye to focus on the middle of the subject. The feeling I get from this is a little dark feeling although the green gives a pleasant feeling, the illustration in the middle is sad to know that this is how society is sometimes. This reminds me of when people are fighting or about to get hurt, or any sad situation, in NYC and probably many other places, people take their phones out to record instead of helping or getting help for those people being recorded. And usually it can be for their own benefit of making money selling it to a news station, or posting it online to get many views and likes for a little 15 minutes of fame. Here the painter is benefiting from someone drowning by creating a painting they might sell or use for art.
