APPLY WITH CAUTION (One-Off)

This Red & Black ballpoint drawing took James 56 hours to complete. It’s one of the original artworks in his “ON Lux Bag” series.

This series is generally about drawing & painting over luxury gift bags as an expression of spiritual defiance. We too easily give in and associate feelings of lust and desire with luxury brands. There are also emotions like greed, in security, and even jealousy that come with the territory.

“A form of Brandalism, Mylne is not trying to celebrate these luxury brands by working over their gift bags. He is, warning you.” - The Ballpointer Online 

Choose discipline over vanity, spiritual awareness over desire.
