The Watcher

While all about seemingly crumbles, you stand alone, removed but not exactly untouched by it all, observing the unfolding of the unleashing of you know not what. Puzzled and unable to fathom exactly what is going on, you wish you could turn your eyes, but are compelled to witness events beyond your control…you are the watcher.

I made this image in 2004 using a digital photo I took of an anonymous fellow standing near the Ian Potter Art Museum in the city. The photo was pretty low-res – (my camera at the time was 1.3 megapixels, wow) by taking the image into Photoshop and Painter I created this apocalyptic-type scenario.

    Thanks Adrian, I liked the original photo because it reminded me so much of a Jeffrey Smart painting. So this is sort of a homage to him. Jeffrey Smart interprets the end of the world or something…
    I added a floating white cloud in there as a symbol of hope.
