My favorite form of artwork has always been traditional tattoo style artwork. With its bold outlines, deep color palettes and beautiful portraits. They stand the test of time. I have a few references that I made from AI that I think will be of great help. I love the idea of total artist, creative freedom. But I do have a vision.
The image that I have here shows what's called a (breakwater). Suggestion: you should look it up to get a better understanding of what a breakwater is. A breakwater is like a levee its kind of like a dam. It can also be called a bulkhead. It is what protects land from water. It is the protection. And we at breakwater want to focus on protection of the traums and our culture. Breakwaters have been around For thousands of years built by man or made by the Earth, they are a form of protection. So the idea of the breakwater needs to be very prominent inside of the logo. As to where in the reference I have, it's not very obvious what the brick wall represents. I like the way it's designed but, I'm interested to see what all of you create. Thanks so much for your time and your effort. I look forward to seeing the art. Rock On 🤘
