Description
Some claim to speak with the dead. Some claim to speak with God. Some claim to be God. Some seek death.They wax poetic with mathematics, and scientific with love, with no concept of beauty, inherent laws, truth, or compassion.
They are merely the God of the Dead. They burn up like comets and turn to dust before they ever see the earth.

I'm always inspired by your pieces, Matt! It shows what is possible when talent, imagination and a prodigious intellect combine in the pursuit of art.
Your comments always add so much, and yet either the comments or the art itself can easily stand alone.

You did such a wonderful job! Very eye catching from just a glance and so much meaning to it once you actually look at it.

This work is highly interesting.
The crude methods, as you described them, yielded an interesting result.
I also like the nice variety and contrast in colors, while you managed to completely avoided any bland colors or shades.
Excellent choices
Nice, how you managed to correctly use those basic filters too. You avoided using too few or too many, and managed to correctly add them into the work too.
Nice one.

That is so eerie - I love it. I really like the gray skin tone, especially against the brighter and more vivid colors of the background. The contrast between light and dark is also very sharp, and the composition is well-balanced with the designs on the edges. Great work!

Maybe this says something about me but...
I find the piece to be very sexual, not really sensual but it seems sorta like the face is coming out of the vagina trying to pull away to be free because in there the life has been sucked out. The speedometer in the mouth shows me that everything is being shoved down at break neck speed. The open mouth also leads to the sexual vibe I get. The little voyeur guy in the left seems to be amused and that feels uncomfortable to me.
I'm probably completely off base here but I guess art can be subjective.
Nice work it made me contemplate it in a way I could discover something.

The think I like most about this is that I'm not sure whether all the chaos is coming from the person's head, or coming from the outside world into the person's head. The nature/nurture debate, that cause and effect of psychosis.

I really like the idea and concept, it inspired me, there are so many ways to explain this picture but I think the best of them is, this picture is simply awesome!

Great work. Lot's of dynamics. Only thing is the colors........it seems a bit too soft......isn't presenting much contrast in the broader areas.

I like how the speed meter in the mouth measures life with numbers. The placement of it evokes a deeper feeling of a head rush causing people to "burn up like comets". ^__^
