Description Speed painting. 4 hours. Photoshop & intuos2 tablet. (trust me, 4 hours is a speed painting for me)

--------------------------

I had this idea very quickly and wanted to get it down as soon as possible. Unfortunately this meant really working it up quickly to make it work. However, as i roughed it up it became more and more apparent that the speed style actually suited it. The roughness kinda works and its another new style (kinda) for me

I think the image nicely portrays what I'm trying to get across hopefully no need for explanation on the imagery on this piece

The hole's cool. Can't decide is it a representation of the end of our lives or the begging of one. Something more around the lines of reincaranation?

I know this is supposed to be a bit of black humor, but I couldn't help thinking that for so many, this is a stark reality...a conveyor belt to the abyss. Sorry, I'm in a funk this morning. Really great job BTW hon.--AG

its interesting that people are seeing humour in this. I'll let you into a secret:

my work is a window into my soul, none more than this. This is how I feel right now, that I am being pulled along a conveyor unable to stop the push forward, even if I turn and run backwards, i only stay still. In front of me is a looming black hole which has no bottom to it and no visible end. I know that at some stage I have to jump into it to fix things or start a new lfe or whatever, as conveyed by the bright neon sign saying everything will be ok. call it fucked up, but this is my reality right now. I shant go into the reasons why its like this, only that I had such a strong image of it all and this was the result.

For my part it was "gallows humor"; that last sardonic laugh before the trapdoor opens and the rope snaps taut. The kind of laugh that comes from the back of a dry mouth's throat. Lately, my life has also been chaotic and feeling as though I'm swept along with the debris, rather than having any control over my direction. I guess your black hole struck a chord within my thoughts this morning; I'm certain I heard something resonate.

I hope your neon sign is right, and that the hole is merely a portal to better things, but on this dreary foggy morning, I can only see the abyss. --AG
