Description Though it's new here, it's actually been sitting in my basement half finished for over 3 months. Finally got around to finishing it up.

This piece was inspired by a conversation myself and Michael (Esum) had while hanging out one day.

We talked about how we as a society seem to create things that only do harm and ultimately destroy everything in a certain radius (depending on the blast size). We have a multi-billion dollar industry in war alone and we see with war comes casualties, and casualties are just part of business.....and business is good.

The smudgey dirtiness gives it a life like sort of vibrantcy

Seems like a political cartoon...it's very cool, I love your method of detail...the little splatters, smudges, and even the skulls in the smoke make it very surreal [and yet when you think about it realistic in our society today].
It's very bold of you to make such a statement as this...

I have no problem voicing my own opinion. Even if it is not part of the status quo. I'm artist, that's what we do lol.

killer idea, I've been talking about things like this for a while with my buddies, just the idea or what I get as the feel and idea from the peice anyway, it may not what you have in mind but it's defenitely in mine. So this peice really hits home for me, I like it a lot.

Powerful political statement there dude. Love it.

I thought I was lost for words, but I'm going to praise it some more;

I'm loving the texture you've done for the smog and clouds. Really dirty, and it gets the message across wonderfully.
