[ BACKGROUND ]
It has been 3 years since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice came out, and it's still a controversial hit not only on social media but also, particularly, in the fandom of CBM fans. There's no denying that BvS is a phenomenal and iconic film that has inconceivable influence on our generation. Thus, it's such a blessing that we can celebrate and acknowledge the brilliance of our beloved artists and their creation during the 3-day event of screening Zack's great works in ArtCenter and the following 3rd anniversary of BvS. And we won't compromise until we get what we deserve, most importantly, what Zack deserves.
[ IDEAS AND STORY ]
The basic idea came from two inspirations: the very first one is the "I❤ZS" pattern revealed by Ray Fisher who plays the "Cyborg" role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League at San Diego comic-con in 2017 to admire and support his friend, also the director of both movies, Zack Snyder. We chose it as the central symbolic idea on which to base the design. The second one is from a specially colored renovation of a birthday card that was drew for Zack Snyder last year.
It's very kind of Fi(twi: @fukujang0627) that she delivered it to Zack and fed back his thanking for the little painter, which may go far beyond their expectation, meant so much to the girl.
My dear friends, it's hard to decribe the feeling of depression, especially after the destruction of last November 17th. It caught up with me again. It grew bigger and bigger. I struggled. Life seemed faint and unworthy. The thought shocked me. But it wasn't away from me. To be honest, I didn't intend to draw the card. I hesitated for weeks and as the depression deepened, I became too tired to start. But that morning palpitations struck me. I woke up thrillingly and I cried. I asked myself what would I feel when I looked back over my life for memories of today. I would regret if I didn't draw something for today. At that time I wasn't thinking about the depression. So was the drawing time. I had done a hasty job. But it was a big step. I realized that afterwards. Then what happened was just like a miracle. Fi told me she delivered it to Zack. She gave me the reply. And I couldn’t help weeping on the train. It was fading. The thought. And I knew how to fight with it. Hope, believe...and act.
So here I am. I shared my story with you, my dear friend. But the most important thing is to share the faith, passion and bravery. I want to pass them on. I want to inspire, just like Zack said, "heal, bring awareness and create change." It doesn't matter if you aren't into this design, my friend, I know I'm not a talented painter;) If the idea and story behind it touched you a bit, or made you more steadfast, that would be my victory.
Let's admire the pleasure of being alive. Let's become those that move the world and give life its meaning.
