Description A detailed version of the left diptych image. Originally based on the idea of Terror and Joy, I took some liberties with the theme to create a surreal and slightly autobiographical image.
The left image is an expression of terror or fear and the possibility to grow from that as it merges with the right diptych image.
But don't take my word for it, i may have said to much.

Made in Photoshop CS the original print version is 12"x15" for a combined print size of 12"x15"

Thank you to the resurgere team for providing three of the integrated textures and smoke:

All other images and textures were photographed and scanned by me.

The only thing you have to fear is fear itself...and spiders. Fuck spiders.

This reminds me of Dave McKean who did the art on the covers of The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. I liked those covers, and I like this. Very well done.

can I use this for a project for my digital imaging class? I will not distribute this and I won't claim it as my own, I am just using it for a Poster.

Thanks,
Brandon.

This reminds me of M.C. Escher's style, he's my favorite artist. ^^ I'm really amazed to see this level of expertise, it just blows my mind to think that someone can do this by manipulating a photo... Wish I had some kind of criticism to offer, but I'm not too knowledgeable about this kind of art. All I can say is "Amazing!" And I will be keeping an eye out for more.

I saw this image yesterday and as I sat this morning I realized it exemplified exactly what I was feeling..a sense of unraveling...well done.

0Dreamy4Me [2008-07-21 19:22:03 +0000 UTC]

I especially like the words you added to it. It is an interesting picture...i like the textures in it and the hand pulling down the eye. Hehe,...i am not a fan of horror, though, for i have experienced much of it in my OWN Life. (ugh). Maybe someday i will write a book, and become a millionare! LOL...
come check out the jewelry i design and make! Comments are always welcome.
