the advantages of Schizophrenia..

The image The Advantages of Schizophrenia has been nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward Group by Butchart

“in one image.. you have covered a range of emotions nearly impossible to achieve together…. and in the process have given us a glimpse of the human condition……. thank you……. this is incredible work roy….. one of my all time favorites of yours……… bravo……….b”
Roy is fairly new to Redbubble… but from the moment i discovered his work i have been in awe of his inpired, unique, honest and elightened imagery. Each one of his images demands both attention and reflection. In Roy’s self portraits he shares with us all the myriad of emotions each one of us experiences within ourselves.”Thanks for stopping by and look into my world for a minute.

Thank you so much Butchart :)

Inspired by King Crimson – 21st Century Schizoid Man

Lyrics

Cats foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoias poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind mans greed
Poets starving children bleed
Nothing hes got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

From a series where I work to express the deepest emotions, both positive and “negative”. Armed with my Nikon D300 and a flashlight. I try to keep the Photoshop-work to a minimum to not loose the ethereal energy the method some times captures.

This is my way to healing and selfrealization. If my work can give something to an other human being it is twice worth the effort.

    Roy my friend – I can’t really find words powerful enough to match the power and depth of this image and words – I too know people who have to manage to live with this condition – but no-one who matches your awesome talent for representing visually so much of the essence of what it is that makes all of us human> Congratulations on another very moving work :)

    Roy I can’t think of much to say. It’s more of what I feel when I look at this image. Sadness yet empowerment, helpless but not hopeless. I LOVE how the one ‘voice’ is reaching out to the other in what appears to me, as a soft and reassuring touch. The electrical current going through them I envision bringing them back to one being. Incredible thought provoking image.

  • roy skogvold replied

    Thank you so much Cassey. So cool that it touched you in this way.

    both your works on ‘living with schizophrenia’ are outstanding indeed … you could almost call this one The Trinity and apply codes of icon-writing to it …. an eternal loving embrace of three persons in one …
