Artist's Comments

finally! the big picture

at the moment this is the peak of my abilities

this picture was my entry for some art contest i was invited to in upstate new york in saratoga springs
done in about two weeks time, without sleep and almost constant work (i finished it at 4 am the day of the contest)
i lost count o the hours but it's probably been quite a few

done almost entirely in marker and pen although there is some pencil

i think the dimensions are 48x24, which is pretty damn big for me

anyways, here it is my the product of willpower, stupidity, dementia, and sleep deprivation
all for your enjoyment!

i highly highly highly recommend checking out these close up croppings

pt.1 big crash

pt.2 angel of death

pt.3 bottom of the well

*gurgles* wow... What are the demensions of this piece? It looks huge... It looks like it got folded in some places but I think that actually makes it look cool, kind of gives it some texture. :O Well, awesome job, I'm in awe of this piece :D

It's different 'cause you're desperate. Begging mercy on the sidewalk to a sea of last callers. Keep the conversations quick and keep them interested!

thanks! uhm dimensions i think were 48 by 24 like, 4 feet by 2 feet? pretty big if you ask me

and yes, it had been folded multiple times for transportation, so i did get that wrinkley look to it, but i liked how it looked.

speak hands, for me!

there is nothing so futile as to try and escape one's own existence

wow, the sheer size of it... yikes.

nice color choices, and particularly cool how it all flows together... amazing piece.

I cant even begin thinking of how to express my amazement for this piece of art man. i think i love it so much because i can understand how much time something like this takes and i love it when someone just makes a super massive picture based on the peak of their abilities. i dont do this often/at all because of the fear of how noone will notice it. sadly true with this piece, when i next make a journal ill tell evryone to look! this is amazing
