<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 3055537, member: 55"]Most such boxes feature salmon designs of course, but similar boxes are sold for other purposes, and people get tired of nothing but salmon designs. Usually advertising for such items does not emphasize the artist's name, though occasionally one will find pretty good artists on those boxes; Danny Dennis has done quite a few, and I've seen some by Don Yeomans. Note the weight and balance of Yeomans' black form-lines in the example below; the way the white relief areas (trigons, crescents, and u-shapes) define and balance the black form-lines; the expressiveness of the faces; the salmon-egg tucked between the tails; the sophisticated near-symmetry, where one first sees it as symmetrical, and only later notices the slight differences between the left and right salmon, indicating male and female salmon. He does good work.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]291337[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
