Reviews for "Pearls before Swine"

Rebelion en la granja!

Excellent work. The 10 is not just for the style and technique: I think i saw a reference to Orwel's short tale "Animal Farm" (which I love). If you did not do that on purpose... Well, nevermind then, jajaja. Good job.

:D Thanks

Wow

You can really see its desperation. Like it hates what it does... but had to do it. Brilliant. Really deep

Thank you :)

Amazing

If Mr.Burns ever went into depression over his job, he would look a hell of a lot like this, i like how you used a pig as the character, resembling greed and becoming rich through it. This looks like the end of his days where he finds out he has cancer, and has a sudden realization of all the wrong he has done, and where he took from others all his life and lived happy, he will soon die depressed, and having his own life taken away from him. Extremely well done.

oh my god

this is the most amazing picture i've ever seen in my entire life.

A rare find...

In that this piece, while able to be looked at from a clear literal perspective, oozes symbolism. Usually, pieces intended as metaphors are overly abstract and vague.
What I like about this is that it is a very clear representation of something that has several levels to it; is the pig a symbol of the corporate greed, its scarlet wine hinting at the ruthlessly spilled blood of his inferiors?
Or, is the sad expression and the "tag-like" earring on him representative of a soul doomed to die for his superiors?
Maybe, instead the pig represents those who devote their whole lives to a middle-management position, only to be forced into empty retirement with little-to-no time left to live their lives?

Whatever the original intent was, dozens of easily justified images spring to mind.
Excellent work!
