Description
Tempting though it would be to use this opportunity to rant about the injustices of war, I don't feel it's strictly necessary. I'm sure that any sane human being, with any trace of compassion, will agree that war is wrong. Sadly it seems we're largely incapable of electing sane or compassionate leaders.Anyway, I'm not sure how much this picture is about war - it's probably more about the frustration of the observer sat in his lonely outpost, trying to make sense of all the chaos.

Right from the moment I saw the first thumbnail in your gallery, the colour set you use reminded me of the colours Bosch's paintings seem to be "glaced" in. The facial expressions the characters in your digital paintings reminded me of Bosch's works as well. Very impressive!

Thanks, I love the atmosphere of Bosch's work - he's definitely one of my main influences. Cheers for the watch as well - new work on the way shortly!

That's good news. I am definitely looking forward to your next Deviation, all the more since I've been spending more than two hours on your personal website today. I love when paitings and artworks leave the recipient with more than a handful of ways to interprete them.
Once again, respect.

what war is...is wrong...but why we fight war...depending on what your fighting for, and whose side your on...that's a different story
war's always going to be wrong...but why you fight it might be justified
also very very good piece.
