Description Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it's alright
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity while I formulate
Denials of your affect on me.

A Perfect Circle - A Stranger


Discordia One.

The technical flaws and the simplicity of the manipulations within in this series of works is done on purpose. People weren't so good with Photoshop in the beginning of the 20th century .

How delightfully creepy! I love this pic! It's really interesting; I might not be able to take my eyes off of it... It just makes you stare at it... 0_0

Learn to swim........very interesting! I like your style very much!
There isn't much I can say about this piece other than I love the darkly humorous setting, and the macabre photography styles.
I'll be watching you!

The distortions of hands and face remind me of Francis Bacon's paintings. But the pervading feeling is one of passivity, of being unable to choose between identities.

you put a rather eccentric twist on this one. this is sure something a person doesnt see everyday, even on deviantart. genious work. you made his body look like it could really function like that.
