[Tinusch]

Semi-inspired by a Dave Matthews Band song. Kind of a quickie, started out pretty aimless and unstructed, I just kind of fiddled with it until there wasn't much else to do. Comments are welcome.

neat idea and style. I love the broken...whatever those things are called in English.
Certainly has got a feeling.

Krauze: Thanks. They're called rungs or slats. Glad you like them. The whole thing was meant to have a hazy, dreamlike feeling, kind of like a twisted fairytale.

Yaseck: Thanks, I'm glad it's coming across that way. That's the feel I was hoping others would get.

I like the simple style and the mood it creates. The clouds rock, I think I do have a bit of a weakness for smooth shaded purple things.

I do have a question though, what do the broken rungs symbolize? I�d appreciate to hear your thoughts about the picture. Thank you.

[Tinusch]

Thank you thank you. The image was inspired by the aforementioned song title. Not sure if the song was meant to be interpreted as I depicted it, but I just found the title fascinating and my mind began running wild with it. I'm pretty rigidly anti-religion, nothing hateful, I just have very strong opinions on the subject. The title complemented the more aggressive aspect of my personal theology, I guess you could say, and I started formulating fragments of a "poem" in my head, that I never bothered to piece together. I was thinking about a ladder made of lies and excuses, stretching way up to "heaven," the rungs of which began to crumble and crack as I climbed them. Pretty mindless and heavy-handed metaphor when you look at it in that context, I guess. I tried to make them look like slightly like little Bibles, too. Dunno, I guess the picture really is more stream-of-consciousness than it is anything I can adequately explain, especially considering it was created around fragments of a poem I never even attempted to compose. Hope all this made a little sense.

Thanks for giving me your thoughts on it Tinusch, now that you told me about the bibles, I think I should�ve looked at it a bit better, caus I haven�t realized that before.
I like it alot more now that I know the meaning of it.
