This is the first artwork I’ve done for Radz Gamers. An ode to everyone who has struggled with addiction to games,

 this beautiful piece shows the common traits among those who are addicted.

 The heart is painted in red, to represent anger or rage that leads people into gaming addiction. 

The eye represents obsession, as others may see you as mindless following the lure of pixels.

Finally , to represent hope, I have added a single white rose on the bottom border of the painting.

 It feeds into one’s desire to survive without games and it also symbolizes freedom from gaming addiction.

The reader can send me your comments regarding this artwork at kimijp@gmail.com . 

I will post the top 10 comments from well wishes to critiques.

In September 2013, Josh Lobo contacted me in regards to getting a logo for Radz Gamers. 

After a few notes back and forth, we both agreed on a simple logo that showcases the addiction to gaming and escape from it.

 It is a simplistic yet memorable design that will attract gamers who are seeking help from their addiction to games.

In September when I was contacted by Josh about getting a logo for Radz Gamers, I had my design ready.
