Artist's Comments

oil paint on illustration board...

Inspired by Alexisonfire

"This Could Be Anywhere In The World"

The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies

The grass is growing on top of my feet
I'm sinking, won't be long, before I'm too deep to run

The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs.

We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break. Our steps seal our fate.

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope left for these souls

This is the kind of abstract painting I like. I love the colours, and how they get all jumbled up together in the upper part of the picture.
Very good. I demand more.

Any angle I look at this one it is pretty sweet. So all-around good is an accurate statement :)
But I really love the purple and the overall interpretations I can get from this one.

what is funny was i got into this group discussion on how i have never really used the color purple and stuff, so now my last like 5 paintings have involved it without really thinking much about it

Purple is a good color really, nice and cool. Plus its Roman Royalty so thats always a plus.

When I saw this, the song "London Calling" by The Clash immediately got into my head & I started humming it! There's something very punk about this piece. It looks & feels edgy, there's a very "underground" vibe to it which is great. Well-done!

i love the colors you chose. it's very...um...stylish, for a lack of a better word. i think of clothes when i look at this ._.
i think it's the pink, black, and grey since it's seen so much in clothing. i like it : )

I LOVE the colors here, but I'm curious if the original is this blurry, is your camera out of focus? I would fave this if it were sharper, but it's still beautiful! :heart:
