Artist Adam Thompson Creates Series Of DC Comics Superheroes Coupled With Heroic Words Of Wisdom
Adam Thompson creates his “Heroic Words of Wisdom” series keeping in mind that everyone is a hero but that heroes can remind us of this every day. Each poster in the series features the silhouette of a DC Comics superhero and an inspirational quote from him or her.
Thompson explains on Behance:
My work, centered around comic book characters, comes with the challenge of reaching to an audience beyond those who are already fans of those characters. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy very much to see existing fans of these characters who enjoy my work. However, up until this project, I’ve been indulgent of being a fan, and neglectful of the challenge of reaching that larger audience.
Superheroes already have a prominent place in pop culture. Their images can be seen anywhere. As a fan I enjoy seeing the strength of these characters in the spotlight, but because I am looking to reach a new audience, I needed to find a new light. I had to consider that comic books are a series of images accompanied by dialogue, and since it’s the images that are already so prominent, I decided to focus on the dialogue.
