talent is due.

"john 3:16" by ty.


i've always been a sucker for talent, so as candy likes to say.
guys with talent mainly, be it singing or juggling.

someone once said that everyone has talent but the talented are those who put in that extra grunt to nurture and grow. well, i beg to differ. i think when you can't sing, you can't sing. when you can't draw you can't draw. and if you can't publicly speak, then you can't do a eulogy.

when it comes to talent, i'm completely happy to dish out where credit is due. if you're good, you're good right? say for example, tianyu, a mighty good friend of kenneth. never really met the guy, when i talked to him once, i accidentally hung up the phone on him.

but his talent, phenomenal.

i've seen his work and honestly, the latest one is awesome. Ok, some of you might beg to differ with me on this, because it's an acquired taste.

the picture right on top actually spells out "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" from John 3:16.

just a bunch of lines eh? it's a font he came up with that each letter is a line in a different direction or angle. putting them together creates a form of art. typography is redirected into a different sort of art now, a wildly fancinating and visual stimulating art piece.

words. now seem so useless.

to illustrate how it works, his website has the entire song "let it be" by the beatles in this font. see video here

you just see his work. he is, well a designer, a photographer and an artist.
and he is talented.

see, there's a difference between "I WILL DO IT" and "I CAN DO IT".
he, can.





all images are original art pieces from tianyu.


talent.
