The Noose

Inspired by the A Perfect Circle song of the same title.
Also by the angelically demonic renderings of Derek Hess and H.R. Giger.

The work is meant to be viewed either upside-down or otherwise depending on the viewer's interpretation.

Pure acrylic on canvas.

EDIT: F me in the A. A Daily Deviation. I honestly never thought I'd snag one. A big thank you to for the feature. It means oodles to me! And also my unyielding thanks to for being just as awesome as he is.

EDIT YET AGAIN:
So there's another DD right here. [link] I'm pretty much blown away by all the sudden attention to say the least. But what alarms me even more is 's own rendition of The Noose, located here: [link]

Isn't that insane? I'm finding it extremely fun examining the similarities and differences between our pieces ad styles (of which there are limitless). You should too! Sapphire's a better artist than I.

That is all.

[EDIT]

The original painting of this work has been destroyed in a house fire that also claimed a hard drive with around a year's worth of work, several other original paintings and prints, and the life of my two-and-a-half year-old cat, Spooky. This occurred at the end of 2011 right around Christmas. This is the first time in almost two years that I've been on DeviantArt and since this piece is still garnering attention, I just thought it fair that that fact be known.

Sadness.

The end.
