Reviews for Delusions of Grandeur

Fantastic Imagery

Great symbolism. A dark and deep story interwoven into a single piece. Excellent art. I love that the dual sides are done in different styles. Makes the story come out at you that much more and makes a lot of sense considering the man's condition. The psychedelic style and coloring works really well, too. Even the "normal" or "real" side is good. It's so plain and clinical while the other side is so jumbled and almost angry.

Even if someone didn't know the story and interpreted it differently, the story would still be a good one and the piece would be thought provoking. It's just so full of emotion and information.

PS Dream Theater is a great band. Progressive rock/metal gods. I'm not a personal who is always in to such super-technical music (it can get so masturbatory and emotionless), but they make it work really well.

Yeah I know. But it was rushed to death. I painted this monster in 15 hours, and its quite a large painting! I have been trying to take my time oevr my paintings lately, I know its a weak spot!

Hmmm..

Nice concept, powerful contrasts.
Struck as the difference between your logical left brain and your creative right brain, eh?

Nice bit of thought you put into that. I'll be honest when I didn't mean for that effect! I am actually cross-dominated, so whilst not what you would call ambidextrous [I cant do most tasks with both hands]; I do about 50% of my life left handed and the other 50% right handed... so perhaps your analysis is something I shoved in there subconciously!

If only I'd had another 15 hours to work on this piece and not rush it... oh well!
