Mad Mantis Blog: Nail farmers. I did a couple of conceptual pieces based on a story I wrote a while back. The project hasn't been abandoned and I hope to return to it at some point. One character is a carpenter hammer the other is a rock hammer. I'm sure some correlation could be made as I spent time as a carpenter and my father was a geologist. Everything was shot separate. In fact I photographed the setting the people and the sky first and then waited about 6 months for my nails to rust properly before photographing them. #conceptual #digitalillustration #composite #nailfarmers #personalwork #tbt #digitalphotography #hammerheads
