Description The final piece. I wanted to do something that reflected my anger after the article I saw yesterday on an anti manson site. I wanted to do this piece in the style of a newspaper, I think it needs work with the grain and lighting but for my first photo manip using stock Im happy. The photos could use a bit of work but I did do this in one night. I also wrote a completely fictional news story to go with it. It is meant to be ironic and I do not consider myself a writer but I thought the image needed text. Story follows the credits.

This article is FAKE I wrote it to go with the picture
Goth rock star Marilyn Manson yesterday dismissed suggestions that his music may have inspired a girl, whose identity will be kept anonymous for legal reasons, to commit suicide. The girl was found on the floor of her bedroom with a single gunshot wound to her head, police also found needles and scalpels surrounding the girl. In a statement the police said: “We believe that the girl had been using drugs and self harming as a result of lyrics in a Marilyn Manson song found in her diary, which also stated it was ‘his fault’”
The girl had been fanatical about Manson for years and had given up the religious values she had been shown by her parents. Several CDs were found near to her body, one of the covers images showed a burning cross depicting Manson’s obsession with Satanic Rituals the other was a single ‘Get Your Gunn’ which the girl had most likely been listening to minutes before her death. Manson’s songs are notorious for their God hating lyrics and Satanist attitude, have influenced the behaviour of many teens and lead them to suicide.
The police also found a number of photographs of Manson in the girl’s room, one of which depicted him as Jesus on a crucifix, religious groups were outraged by the image, and believe that this almost certainly was the cause of the girls loss of faith.
In a newspaper interview yesterday, the American shock rocker denied that his work had any influence on the crime, he said he is nothing more than a scapegoat, taking the blame for the actions of a very disturbed child.

Indeed. Music can be influencal on an artistic level but I dont believe it would ever lead to death. But thats my opinion. Thanks for the comment

Music has been the greatest influence on me, my life and my art. I owe Mr Manson alot. I dont get how in one breath someone can say my art is brilliant etc and then turn around and say Manson is the devil or whatever cos he helped me create. people are mad sometimes

AWESOME piece luv. I'd like to know about this anti manson site...people committing suicide JUST because of the music they listen to is COMPLETE and TOTAL BULLSHIT. i mean, there are deeper reasons behind suicide than musical taste, HELLO AMERICA: YOU WERE BORN WITH BRAINS PLEASE USE THEM!!!
I mean, right?
I LOVE THE PIC

This is pretty powerful. I love the message it sends out. It's stupid how people try and blame suicide reports on artist's lyrics. It's not like anyone physically held a gun to her head and said "kill yourself or else". I dont know if that makes sense or not, but yeah that's how I view things.

yeah i totally see what you mean.ive always been interested in how the media blame people like manson for suicides and killing spees etc, when all hes done is dress differently and made a few decent rock songs. Thanks for the comment

I like the grunginess of the image, although I wish there was a focal point (the girl, more specifically). The only thing that really bugged me was the gun-- it's waaay too big. Otherwise, great job. Keep it up, your message is strong and valid.

goth-alice In reply to chosenone- [2005-03-11 14:55:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I wanted to colour her skin white to make it paler, but i couldnt get it to look consistant with the image. I know nothing about guns but thanks for the pointer, im not to good at scaling. Im glad you think the message is valid.

Actually, I was watching a Manson interview and he said that there was a girl who commited suicide and the mom wanted to talk to him, she wasn't blaming him for what happened, but she said that the girl related to Manson...uhm...>>>> [link]
