Artist's Comments

So this piece was somewhat inspired by a song by a up and coming band I like Periphery.

http://www.myspace.com/periphery

I listened to the cd alot while working on this.
Then turned it into a wallpaper for a little free promo for the band.

"Icarus Lives"

Believe in memories to resurrect me

Besieged by falling  dreams
hold them tightly
adorn my wings to thee, and use then nightly

I'm neither angel nor a demon spawn
though some will call me god
gravity is just a law I wrought

Hear temptation take the sky for all to see
sheer elation to write history

I'm neither angel nor a demon spawn
though some will call me god
gravity is just a feeble plot

when I said I'd never kneel again
what I really meant
was pull the pin because time is spent

unite with ravens on their shadow flights
as my nocturnal right
gravity is just a mortal's vice

when I said I'd never feel or see
love and sight are last resorts for me.

(lyrics by Periphery and Casey Sabol)

    Great job, love the detail in the figure and the ethereal quality to the frame and background
