I had to stop myself....my struggle with addiction. I'd like to think of myself as a good person with a problem.

This is one of the many self portraits I did while living in Marinette, Wisconsin.

Influenced by Lyndsay Harper, Jackson Pollock and watercolors. Electronic Imaging.

I thought I would share a quote from a fellow who bought a 30" x 45" canvas print of this piece.

"it gives me great joy. it's like a little streak of crimson red in a black and white movie. ....and I get great responses from visitors. One lady looked at it, said "ooo, he's angry," turned back, and asked "you're not angry, are you?"

...love it."

Critique by ~Fluegel Apr 6, 2010, 3:59:21 AM
This artwork is really screaming at me. It totally got me, when I looked at the artists profile. I had to look at it.

I absolutely love the colors which give the artwork the intense feeling and emotion. To me it feels like rage. I love the red lines at the stomach because they underline that feeling.

The face also was executed very well. Together with the hands the emotion comes through very well - the expression was caught perfectly.

The background texture is nice. Personally I dislike the place between the head and the right hand because it distracts me.

Very strong image!

Awesome, I love the sense of RAGE!!!

On a side note, when I first read the description I thought it said 30' X 45' and my mind was blown for about 2 seconds.

Awesome stuff, I love it :)

I'm a bit confused though, is this based on a photo and then retouched "to the brink of insanity"? =P

Thank you. This isn't a photomanipulation. It's a digital illustration.
