I listened to a podcast called Modern Love, and the title was Confessions of a Late Bloomer. And it was about a 28 year old guy who talked about a time when he was speaking to his 14 year old sister on the phone and she was telling him about her crush in school and it made him tear up to know that she’s able to talk to him about those things even those they live far from each other and the age difference. He went on to talking about how it sucked for him when he was younger because he couldn’t really talk about love with his parents or anyone because it was hard being gay at that age. His first relationship had their first fight over them being late to the movies and it made him sad later on to realize his first love had to deal with him not knowing how to work through problems in a relationship since he was very new to it. In the ending of the podcast he talks about one day him and his sister will be with the perfect love.
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.
