Description My brain shut down again today.
The gray synapses snapped, misfiring, leading me astray.
I had forgotten where I was going or why.
I was lost and alone amidst nowhere.
As I looked up, the buildings swayed in my eyes, encircling me in their psychotic dance. Was their dance real or a creation of my mind, much like the city around it, in ruin?
Smoke and shadows played tricks on my eyes.
It was as if the dark clouds formed a black hole in the center of the sky, eating away the earth, piece by piece. Twisted and torn metal, broken and cracked stone, shattered and snapped overhead in a rocking avalanche, that was slowly coming down, constantly rambling overhead.
Up was down and down was up.
To the vision of a broken mind, the world is a playground, full of things to confuse and betray its frail existence. I must have been walking for hours...
It was nearly dark as I entered the ruins of once metropolical center. No breath or whisper, but my own. Only the crackling, blazing skies, as if legions of hell themselves marched from the earth towards the heavens, fiery ash fluttering down from their feet.
Walking over the shards of blades, where have we gone so blind?
There are no nations now.
There are no wars.
There are no languages, but thoughts.
Simplest urges and desires.
They were advancing.
I shouldn’t be here.
Wake up, wake up.

Wow dude I am just gobsmacked not only at the artwork but its accompanying poem, I sat here for over half a hour just staring at it. It is an absolutely amazing piece absolutely wonderful, When i saw that you completed it three day was just jealous D: such an amazing piece in such a short time is just absolutely amazing! I’m absolutely just amazed at this piece and all of your others.

If you don’t mind me asking your poem that accompanies this piece in your mind do u see what you have written in your mind, do you see the buildings swaying do you see the those colours in your mind everything that you could do with that scene all the colours and so on? I also have to ask where to you find your inspiration because I've just absolutely fallen in love with all of your pieces such deep and amazing use of colours and meanings.

This is fantastic. Conveys more a lack of sanity than a sense of impending doom. The odd paralaxed (I think that's the right word) view just adds to it, and the quality in general is just fantastic. I've been back to DA for about 2 days now, and I just want to tell you, you just knocked ~hypnotic out of my most favorite artist spot.

another amazing piece.
I've got a question. (I hope you don't mind me asking) How old where you when you started to draw seriously.
I hope you understand what I mean, english isn't my first language
