Artist's Comments
Los Angeles, December 2005. A Mixed Media Painting of Acrylic, Collage, Gouache, Iridescent, metallic's & India Ink on a 12" X 16" canvas.
The faces on the two headed dragon are taken from a 19th century photograph of a Chinese Opium Merchant and owner of a Shanghai brothel. A man who existed in history. The face illustrated in the upper right corner is an addict, and the faces on the upper left are my visions of opium demons. Comments
    Wow, this is awesome!

-- They called me mad, and I called them mad, and damn them, they outvoted me. -Nathaniel Lee (on being consigned to a mental institution). I'm delighted at all the feedback I'm getting on this painting L - More than I've gotten on any one piece in the past. Lot's of e-mails. It will be interesting to see what DA thinks.
-- RS Connett ~ The Vomitus Maximus Museum  all of the characters seem oddly familiar. hmmmm. interesting image. what prompted this painting? i love the background, like a dirty wall in chinatown.
-- *TheExquisiteCorpse ~JigsawPuzzleProject ~brights ~AtheistsClub *the-surreal-arts ~stock-devil-breath  Striking and fantastic work. The detail, colors, and design are superb. I love the concept and style. Excellent flow in the composition.

 reports, 22h 33m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
