Logan Hicks Siren Of The Sea Print Release

Reference shots

1xRUN have another new artist release today and that artist is Logan Hicks. His print is titled Siren of the Sea.

"This painting was part of my recent exhibition "Love Never Saved" this past March of 2014 in New York. The whole show revolved around water as a theme, so it has nautical superstitions and sailor traditions in it. This piece in particular was about the sirens of the sea who would lure sailors to their death with their beautiful voices.

In many ways the piece is a collaborative piece. The dress worn was created by Julius LaCour, the model was provided by Trump Agency, the make up was done by my friend Keri Blair, and the male model is none other than Beau Stanton, who has done prints with 1xRUN before! All my work is created with stencils and aerosol. I took the photo and worked from that, but the final result was created with 12 layers of stencil and aerosol on canvas." - Logan Hicks

And that folks is what's known as using a reference for art work. Grabbing an image of someone else's work off Google and manipulating it is not using a "reference" it's lazy.
