Peculiar Picture #17

 
     
     To my knowledge, this illustration from my royalty free CD Business Fundamentals has never been used. Years ago I sat in my studio imagining what sort of illustrations art directors could use. Altogether, I created sixty images for my CD and I still receive royalty checks. Most of these illustrations have made their way into books and magazines around the world, but this one has yet to be published. Can you think of a purpose for this picture?

Note: This site will be closing soon and moving to chubbychatterbox.com/blog. Hope to see you there.

  2. To me it tells a story of how workers are trying to save the ship of economy from crashing in the waves...but the captain of the ship has to make sure that careless tying of the anchor doesn't swing low and konk us on the head! (Watching too much post-election news.)

  5. He works hard for the money. He's not dressed in typical work clothes. More like he's going out. He wants to be sailing on those background boats, but has to take care of business first.

    Glass half full/glass half empty question: is he tying up the ship, or helping it cast off? At first I thought the former. But the more I look at it, he's letting it go. The anchor is up, swinging like it was just lifted. You were being deliberately ambiguous, weren't you?

  15. The significance of Benjamin Franklin's image on the bow could be linked to his invention of segmented and water tight cargo holds in sailing ships. However, his contributions were honoured by having his image on ships and money. The man was multi-talented (Renaissance man) in so many areas. The metaphors could be symbolic of everything he did.

    As for the well-dressed man (cue ZZ-Top), is he preventing or welcoming everything BF did?

  16. Trying to secure the financial ship of state before it sails away to China?
    Either that or something dirty.

  17. This image could easily be used in a newsweek/time magazine article. The story to accompany it would be in support or criticism of the U.S. economy.

    1) boat loads of cash finally returning to U.S. shores.
    2) shipping off the rest of our money to China.
    3) how to navigate through a rocky economic climate.

  18. I can't think of anything so deep as the others have suggested. I didn't think it might represent something dirty til I read Al's comment. But there is rope involved, and he looks rather handsome. Still, Ben Franklin's face would ruin the mood.

    I'm surprised nobody's used this one. It's very good.
