Description
"watch it all like the circus it iswhen your born you get a free ticket to the freak show
enjoy the show"
- George Carlin
Feature text are the lyrics from, Pitchshifter - Please Sir
please sir tell me why there's no black superman, kkk kryptonite?
"god only makes caucasian superheroes."
please sir tell me why we stick a man on the moon when life on earth's so
cheap.
"son, we gotta do our bit for the world trade deficit."
please sir tell me why if 'god is love' I'm so dysfunctional.
please sir tell me why there's so much vagrancy.
"layabouts get a job."
well there's an opening for a part-time una-bomber.
please sir tell me why my life's so pitiful but "the future's so bright."
well I'd look ahead but it burns my retinas.
the inspiration for the piece sort of began with me wanting to do a anti religious piece, whilst creating that I heard this song liked it at first for its beat and style but after further listening to it and then looking up the lyrics I loved it and reinvented this new piece around it so that I could display the message in the lyrics.
comments welcome.

I like how you show the siluettes with words and hole style of an overpainted wall.
Interesting topic

thanx for answering my questions! i really believe its brilliant, think this is what fanart should be all about, taking someone elses piece expanding it in your own way making people see it in new ways. like michelangelo this megastar and all, and then adam (a MEGASTAR u might say...) you put him in this totally different context, which makes the beholder reassess one thing or another.....

the layout and the way you presented this are awesome... I find myself drawn to all the negative black though... looking into the shadows so to say...
clearly and easily seen for what you intended.

all done in photoshop, the silhouettes are mainly from stock images I gathered.
Graffiti is formed from a few different type of fonts I gathered with lots of grunge brushing to give the worn effect.
The central red silhouette was burned and dodged up a bit to give off the shadows and light spots from the actual photo to make it more visible, In case your wondering its the famous painting by Michaelangelo of Adam reaching out to God.

I like it. Good mixture of stuff. Only realise there's more going on once I've looked at it a bit and pay more attention - the people with guns, planes, etc. It's cool.

Nice work man, love the colours, and the burnt out shading on the main text silhouette definitely brings it out more.
Dripping blood works nicely too.
George Carlin is a genius
