A combination of Damien Hirst's two fames. For the pop art competition. Thanks for your comments!

the lines that define the details on the shark could be cleaned up a bit more and maybe increase the stroke weight a bit more

I'm not sure about the significance of the dots on the shark.

the dots are from Hirst's dot paitings (see here)



And the shark is from his formaldehyde series see here

oh, and the whole thing is meant to a dot-to-dot drawing of the kind often found in children's magazines see here

I guess what I meant is I'm not sure that just combining two works of a different artist gives a valid new work of art :) I'd like it better if you had some reasoning or logic behind pairing up those two, rather than it simply being two things Damien Hirst did, if you see what I mean.

for me it would look better if the whole shark was patterned with the Hirst dots, i.e. if they were used as its coloring, rather than just dotting its outline.

I'm not sure if this will stand up to some of the other designs in the Pop contest. Celand is right, you have to make it more original and engaging.



I'd appreciate any help on this design or this design as well

I like your concept of connecting the dots, but I think that it looks like you drew a shark and then just threw on some dots. It might work pretty well if you were to try it with only the dots and make them define the shark, using plenty of them. Look at kids connect the dots books for inspiration.



I welcome your input so please have a look at Shamurai

This is a cool idea, but maybe try to use the Hirst dots in a different way, like a Lichenstein style shark, very cross Atlantic! Great starting point though.



Please let me know what you think of mine

I think its awsome. The concept would be stronger if you left the dots with out connecting them though

Yeah - think about adding some halftone shading to the shark.



I think the concept is solid.



Critique my POP submission ?

I've here got rid of the trace line and added more pre-fab details.

The placement is the same as in v1.

I see the connection however I think you should make the shark look a little more like the shark from the sculpture and the dots could match up more with the dots from his painting and perhaps use the letters instead of the numbers. Perhaps it is getting too obscure now but that may be a better nod to Mr. Hirst.

how about having (grey) embroidery connecting the dots?

how about you make it glow in the dark saying "I will get you when its dark."

Here's the suggested halftone version. Any comments more than welcome :)

Just a little bump

Hello. This is now up for submission (v2 that is).
