He calls himself an artist
and I'm struggling to disagree
there's definitely technique

the haphazard strokes
turn surgical precision
severing sinew from sense
tears from dry ducts

blood from a heart
that was sure it was stone
friends from a life
that was living alone
thrashings from arms
hung limply at sides
and forcing back in
what was thriving outside

You remember the outside, don't you?
Where everyone seems to smile
if not at you, at least at the same things?

but 911 was called
for no apparent reason
your gurney wobbling in
the mask pulled up

it merely was a flutter
it was not a full arrest

my DA Tributeby ~breid

Digital Art / Other / Other

A thanks to several who have inspired me. This is the only thing I do that's remotely original, so I thought it was fitting. Photoshop with my photo and a bunch of other ppl's work.

The original had about 17 more in it, but I couldn't contact for permission.

I hope everyone is pleased with the representation, since some of the works had to be padded, cropped or mutilated a bit to get the effect right.

Anyway, the in-pic note better describes my intentions.

Many thanks to all involved.

Quick update - noting flaws I should've fixed...

Because of the cutting and pasting I did when I eliminated the ones I didn't have permission for, several ppls names and titles got cut off and the lack of contrast on my working monitor left several blocks that are obviously discolored. Sorry to those involved who had their piece crapped up somewhat. Good intentions.

This is what art is all about... inspiration bouncing back and forth, crossing multiple genres.

Truly an excellent piece.

excellent work man, some of these babies look awesome :) (Smile)

This was definately worth the wait, it's simply amazing. Some of the designs are hard to see because they are so dark, but overall it's so awesome. I think it was a cool and very creative idea, and I'm glad that I got to see it. I expected to see some kind of collage, but this lay out is much more interesting and meaningful since it's something very close to you. It's the most commented on piece of work that I've seen. Congrats!
