Artist's Comments

By Any Means Necessary
36x48, oils on board

This is easily one of my most popular images, people just seem to totally dig it. I get lots of comments on the weapons and the “Shiva” like arms, but I think one of the overlooked things is the fact that he’s basically in front of a target symbol, and probably the most telling of his “options” are the hands that stay in his pocket.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-06-14

By Any Means Necessary by ~DamnedInk is a powerful political image dealing with potency and impotence in a technically skillful and symbol-heavy fashion. (Featured by `stigmatattoo)
