That's a painting? Looks more like a 3D rendering at first sight!
Great job on this.. although I have never seen the movie this piece is brilliantly executed.

Thanks We actually speak Russian in home so this wasn't too great a feat.
But I wonder why you chose the particular book in that particular language...

My brothers and I lived in eastern Europe for a while so we do OK with Russian. For some reason "War and Peace" in Russian seemed academic, yet unsettling.

Seeing this makes me wonder why they don't have prayer in some schools. Nice Job!

I actually used to have a friend named Heather, until she committed suicide by hanging herself 2 years ago. I still dream about her smiling and it makes me sad.
What inspired you to make this piece?

I'm really sorry to hear that. It's heartbreaking.
This piece was for a gallery that did group show about cult-classics. The movie I chose was "Heathers." It's a dark comedy and not at all reverent, but it gave me an opportunity to say something somewhat meaningful.

It is an interesting subject to cover artistically. I Have seen bits and pieces of Heathers, but never the whole thing in one sitting. I didn't even make that connection until after I commented. I also responded to someone who wasn't you because I wasn't paying attention lol. I hope you saw what I wrote though, that your talent is really wonderful and I like your style. Thank you for sharing it with DA!

Thank you.
It was as painful as a tragedy could be. She had just turned 21 2 months before she took her life. As with any suicide, no one is really sure why she chose to leave us all. I will never stop thinking of her. When I saw your DD, I gasped at the similarities. It's a touching piece. Your style is very interesting. Persephone is gorgeous! (fav'd that one) I wish you all the best with your talent. Your work is thought provoking, interesting and very relatable. Thank you for sharing it with us all here on DA
