This, otherwise, is one of the best I've seen from JadenKale.
I'll address yours first, only since it's been such a long time since I've received praise of any sort on one of my pieces from you. If you look at much of the work of Shepard Fairey and Alexander Rodchenko, you'll see a very flat, but bold and angular look in a number of their pieces (and like all artists, there are some pieces that stray from the norm). I was attempting to go for that look, while showing a bit of dimension that would have likely been seen in the form of more thick, bold radiating lines. The fontwork, however, I wanted to try and maintain it's stark look as much as possible. To add the twist, I didn't go with a traditional red, white and black palette, since I felt that wisdom and education would be better conveyed in antiqued tones.
I hope that makes sense, snarky. I do appreciate it when you take the time to voice your feelings on my pieces.

& @bennyIV: Thanks, you three! I'm really glad I went ahead and made this color choice.
@kylemittskus & @bethlehemstarr: LOL I hadn't even thought of it from a Liberal Arts perspective, but now that you say that, I'm glad it gets the nod from you. And the general approval that educating one's self through reading is the best way to inform yourself on topics.

I am thinking about it, Jiggles. However, it's not harming this one nearly at the level I think you may believe it is. Especially since this one is vastly surpassing the other version. I'll mull it over, however. Though, I have no reason to remove that one (for, I have nothing to hide) and I'm always curious what my final tally is on anything I submit, regardless of popularity.
Thank you all for the support thus far!
