>>Taken From the SNICHOVAULT<< Double Galaxy all the Way
This is an oldie-budda-goodie. It's my way of turning two very boring sights into something more out there. The field and house can be found on a bike trail somewhere between MD and PA, and the closet doors were from an old apartment of mine. I dig this picture because it's a good example of how I look at art. I'm not sure how most people look at pictures, I'd assume they've been facebooked into looking at a whole picture in a second or two and move on. When I look at pictures I examine everything, corner to corner in a Chuck Close sort of way, trying to look for anomalies, quirks, or little extras. As such, when I make pictures I make them to that end. So in this surreal picture of a set of doors being opened up into a field, I see a bit more.
This blob was made from mixing up some glue and paint, letting it dry halfway, and then torching it for a second. From that hot and squishy mess I made something that reminds me of this:
Coolbeans the title is up there. This is a Hubble photograph of what I suppose is one galaxy absorbing another, or a sinful rendering designed by a god hating conspiracy to trick good people into denouncing the Truth.
A bit lower, the glue started to wilt up further from the flames and dried kinda like this. When I was looking at galaxies just now I saw this and it rang a bell:
This is why I like what I do, because no matter how big or small nature seems to have a way of settling the same way. Whether it's huge gas clouds in space or dirty glue drying on a piece of plastic. In a way I think I'm taking a picture of physics itself. There is one more thing though...
I'm not really much of a fan for comic books, but Dolph Lundgren is another story. Because of that I am aware of The Punisher. But his version didn't sport the logo for whatever reason, so here's the dude from Hung:
