The Morality of Science

I came up with this image after being inspired from watching one of my favorite horror movies; James Whale’s Frankenstein. This lead me to read the Novel by Mary Wollstonecroft Shelley which is now one of my fav books!

My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine.

The Morality of Science belongs to the following groups:

!* Dark Cabaret *!, Complex Simplicity of Art, ! Inspired Art !, All Out Emotion, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, ART HOUSE PRODUCTIONS INTERNATIONAL, Back In Black ( sorry~NO PHOTOGRAPHY), Core [C.O.R.E], Dark artists, dark art, Enchanting Powerful Photo Manipulation (2 per day), HORRORAMA, Layered with Texture, Moody, Dark, Evocative (no nudes), Myths, Legends and Fairytales, PixElations - The Art of Photoshop, Practising the Dark Arts, THE DARK CELL, the love of Eerie and enchanting artwork, The X - Human Sentiment, Theatrical and Staged Photography and Villains and Villainesses: The darker side...

O Matt – ‘inspired’ is absolutely right!!! The expression in the eye/face is so so moving – and the processing simply brilliant! A not just ‘inspired’ – but also ‘inspiring’ and deeply emotional work with many levels of meaning and emotion… There is so much to keep looking at to ‘see’ in this…

I must have missed this one Matt…owww!! that looks painful. You’ve captured the theme and mood so well and your photoshop work makes me whince in pain a little as it is so good. Well done, this looks awesome.
Matt Bottos replied

Thanks Ben! I really love the old style visuals of the classic horror films. I also think this movie has one of the best story lines around.
