Well, after a long 3-day weekend of doing nothing but sitting at my desk and drawing this picture - I've finally finished! Wow - that was a long one. This piece is called "Psychosis", which is the psychological term for someone who has lost touch with reality. The intended message of this piece was to expose what goes on in people's minds when they get lost within themselves. I myself have had this happen a few times in my life, as I'd assume many others have as well. Detachment is such a hard thing to go through and such a difficult thing to describe - it can come from so many different sources, like mental illness, drug use, abuse ... etc. and translate in so many ways - so putting this hardship on canvas has been a huge accomplishment for me. I hope that there will be viewers out there who will understand that this isn't an image that I wanted to terrify them with - but to inform them with. As with all my art, I try to create an overall positive conclusion - and for this, I'll say to all those who understand:
Stop hopping damn trains and go home - hug your mother and look down at your feet - is there a ground? Good. At least you're somewhere.
"Psychosis" will be uploaded in my gallery within the next few days. Coming up, I have a full-color 18X24 just waiting for me to finish it. It'll be here by mid-February - so keep your eyes peeled! Thanks guys.
