Everyone Seems To Be Asleep #5

The end. We can see the beasts of the background world. Loyalty and the chasm between us. The controls that cause it all.

"Is this what you want?"

This image reflects recent events, both political and personal, as well as my listening to the Add Violence EP by Nine Inch Nails. I created this digital painting to explore the events that we see around us and what forces may be at work behind the events and within ourselves. As in life, if you examine what you see here carefully, there is much more than there initially appears to be. There is the narrative as it presents itself, but many more layers of meaning that await discovery to those who probe a little deeper, much like the music that helped inspire it. 

I used photographs that I captured myself and then digital paint and painstaking manual and digital processes within Adobe Photoshop.
