I have a question, what is it about television that made you paint this?

The symbolism is fantastic, and more importantly, true. Artistically, it's great as well, although the devil's right arm looks a bit awkward. Never the less, it's a nice piece of art.

Reminds me a bit of Jeff Soto and the Clayton Brothers, at least color-wise. Very interesting piece.

I love the detailed expressions on the faces. Everyone should look at this one up close to get the full effect. I really love your use of colors and the fuzzed horizon over the sharp mountains. Cool. The glasses/goggles are a nice touch to the whole zoning out and the monochromeness of their clothing certainly adds to that atmosphere that they are giving up everything to blend in and tune in... The only think I don't like are the devil's arms, they seem a little out of proportion... If they are supposed to be, then wouldn't it make sense for the angel's to be as well? I don't know, cause I'm not the artist. But I wanted to be honest.

And honestly, I really love this painting because it makes you think. Excellent job. (And if you have zoned out in front of the old boob tube, it makes you want to pick a verb and do something ) And seriously guys, who of us hasn't sacrificed a few hours to the silly thing? You're either really cool or lying

'Television sucks you in, evaporating your energy and diminishing your will to think. We sit limp and stare thoughtless in front of a box that never lets us disagree, interact, or talk back. We absorb the artificial, fake – corporate-sponsored "news" disguised as truth, the plastic sitcom disguised as vibrant life.

It is not a babysitter; it is not your best friend; it is not art; it is not exercise. Moderate your use. Turn it off to make time for loving, playing, painting, and reading. Trash your TV.'

the retro styling really suits the image... is the family wearing blindfolds? it looks as if they are but i can't see it quite clear enough to be sure... i hope they are.
this is one of the best featured deviations i've seen.

glass-eater [2004-02-06 15:46:07 +0000 UTC]

the angel is as devilish as is the demon.... My favorite part is the imaginary ground were the coach is, which the angel is creating through their minds obviously. Like we are a normal, faithful family, when all they do is pervert their spirit.
glorious fav dude !

Niiiice. The detail is great and the message is amusingly on-target. This is a reason i don't watch TV anymore.
