About The Artwork
Big Bucks Animated Art. Artwork and Music by Nathan J Taylor. Big Bucks is a delightful art piece composed of drawings, paintings and fabric art. The frame by frame movement and rhythm of music showcase a magnificent wild animal. The ode to the deer often seen by the artist while hiking the woodlands of middle America is a wonderful tribute to these creatures. The use of different mediums gives the audience a sense of the many facets of the deer's life. The colors are also very striking and add to the overall beauty of the piece.
The Meaning Of The Art
Deer, often depicted as graceful and gentle creatures, have long been used to represent a variety of symbolic meanings. Perhaps the most well-known association with deer is their antlers. Antlers have long been associated with masculine strength and virility, with ancient civilizations believing they provided protection against evil spirits or those who wished harm onto others. Thus, in literature and art throughout history, the image of a buck with its antlers has become a symbol for courage and power – traits that are also attributed to deer themselves. This idea is particularly prominent in Celtic mythology, where antlered stags are known for their uncanny ability to evade hunters even in the densest forests. Additionally, deer are an international symbol of fertility and renewal due to the natural cycle of shedding and regrowth that renews their antlers each year. As such, it can be seen how these endearing animals have come to embody messages of hope in human cultures around the world.
About The Music and Sound
Toe-tapping, vibrant music fills the air as the saxophone pipes in high notes and winding melodies. Accompanied by an electric acoustic piano, this is music that swings. There's a fast-paced drum beat driving it along, keeping everyone on their feet. Meanwhile, the bass guitar gallops like a deer, leaping up joyful patterns of notes to accentuate the melody blended from harmonious strings. Listening closely, you can hear the individual instruments weaving in and out of each other - one moment a distinct sax line darts between instruments before locking into unison with a quick-fire percussive dose of energy. The effect is mesmerizing; you find yourself swaying in time with every note and movement. This is bright saxophone music at its best; a captivating blend of jazz.
