because we love create ourselves, we can only talk about us, it's the only argument that we know.

This is an interesting piece. I don't know if you intentionally set up narrative. I feel like I'm Perseus staring into the eyes of the Minotaur, Ichabod Crane seeing the spectre of the headless horseman. What is most interesting about your work is the action, and this shows that off beautifully. One thing, though, is that I can't tell if you want to be an illustrator or a painter? What I mean by that is that the black(the most graphic element) just seems to sit on top. I think it would be interesting to see some of that painted over with white so it fades into the background, and gives it some more "painterly" depth.
What do you think?

My first thought upon seeing this was 'HOLY FUCKING AWESOME'.

There is a great sense of flow and movement in this, which of course is because of the manner in which it was painted. Where you decided to drag the paint is so incredibly well placed it not only creates an appealing and dynamic composition, but it accurately forms enough human anatomy to really get a sense of shape and depth, to which end your different levels of value aid quite well.

Furthermore, this is just CREEPY. I love creepy. It's obscure, but it has such a sense of energy and emotion it just jumps right off the screen ( / page)

Even just knowing exactly where to scrape the paint and smear it is done with such vision, I honestly can't find something negative to say.

For the record, I USUALLY can find something negative to say, so please consider this perfect score a well-deserved rarity.
