Description
The inspiration for this artwork is coming from the band Five Finger Death Punch and their powerful song "Wrong Side Of Heaven". I always wanted to create something like this but for me in the past it was damn hard and even the theme is something I never tried before. One night I was listening and watching the music video of the song and I was inspired to give it a try, to create something that will represent the true story from this but with HOPE and MAGIC into it, not everything is as dark as it seems sometimes and you are never alone! Remember to always have respect and to help this people if you can. Sometimes everything they need is talking with someone, not to feel alone. If you want go and read more into comment section.
While you see this artwork there are 300.000 homeless veterans sleeping on the streets and this number is rising. Over 1.4 million veterans are at risk of becoming homeless. More than 67% of homeless veterans served our country for at least 3 years. They gave everything. Yet we are failing them. While you are reading this and watching artwork a solder somewhere doesn't understand why he is so easily discarded. Yet he keeps fighting on. Also while you are reading this a veteran is losing his family. Divorce rate among military couples has increased 42%. An estimated 460.000 veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder - ptsd
While you are reading this a veteran is roaming the streets helpless. Homeless vets spend an average of 6 years on the streets. While you are reading this a veteran doesn't understand why his sacrifice went unappreciated. While you are reading this a veteran somewhere is not getting any help. The veterans administration resources to serve only a fraction of our veterans. In the time you were reading this a veteran somewhere took his own life. Nearly 5000 veterans die by they own hands every year. That's one veteran every two hours. Now go watch the music video and listen song of Five Finger Dead Punch "Wrong Side Of Heaven" and in the end of video there is a list of organizations if you want to join the cause and help.
Also this is a collaboration with amazing and very talented Panjoool go check out this real master artist! Actually I did everything till a point and then the magician came and helped me by giving life to this artwork in his own way and I'm very proud of both of us. Looking forward on more collabs with you man!
