Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 12” x 16” / Description: Based on the first song from the Tool album 10,000 Days, Vicarious was completed in early 2009 and was an attempt at a more surrealistic style. I don’t watch a great deal of television anymore. In recent times I have noticed that there are a lot of people who do nothing but work then go home and stare at the box. This is fine in some respects, I’m not here judging those. But one thing that stands out to me is society’s obsession with the misery of others, violence and strange. It bares a stark likeness to the Victorian fascination with the side shows in carnivals. People who never miss and episode of a soap opera or even delight (subconsciously) at watching grim events on the news, are tapping into vicarious voyeuristic behavior. In my piece, the mountains of televisions represent portals in which we, as humans, stare through into strange worlds.

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 12” x 16” / Description: Based on the second song from the Tool album 10,000 Days, Jambi was completed in early 2009 and is a loose interpretation on the band’s original meaning of the song. In my piece, I explored the idea of the Third Eye and wanted to twist it a little to give it a darker edge. The Tool song is about a sultan who lives an opulent life style, I wanted to try an depict what would happen to a person of that status if they attained a false sense of enlightenment. If one was to become enlightened, or so it is believed, one’s third eye would open in the center of the forehead. So, if one was to become ill-enlightened (its not a real word but it works) then where would the third eye open? ahem Also added to the fool’s punishment, his real eyes burn out and the eye-tongue causes irreversible madness.

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 12” x 16” / Description: Based on the fourth song on the Tool album of the same name, 10,000 Days is the second part of the Wings For Marie set. It was completed in early 2009. Because the song itself is surrounded in so much personal meaning to the singer, the piece was trick to approach. I wanted to try to convey something that was respectful and tasteful. The song is about the singer’s dead mother who, suffering from a long standing illness that left her wheel chair bound for 26 years (10,000 Days), was a devout Christian. The singer himself is an atheist and expresses his hope that he is wrong and that there is an after life, there is a heaven and that his mother deserved wings for what she went through. In my piece, I depict the Christian view of Death but instead, he is a psychopomp, a run of the mill ferry man of souls. I wanted to show a visual representation of what the singer was hoping for. A being, waiting for his mother in the after life, to take her up to heaven. Original For Sale: £200 Contact me at lloydharvey@shrunkenheaddesign.co.uk / www.shrunkenheaddesign.co.uk

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 12” x 16” / Description: Intention is based on the ninth track from 10,000 Days, the latest album from the superior progressive metal band Tool . Intention for me was more of a take on the title of the song as apposed to the Band’s meaning. I wanted the viewer to wonder what the intention of the character was, why he was angry and what was he about to do?

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 12” x 16” / Description: Based on the eighth song from the Tool album 10,000 Days, Rosetta Stoned was a joy to work on. The 8th song on Tool’s 10,000 Days, Rosetta Stoned, tells the story of an estranged loner who tells the tale of how he was abducted by aliens and told how the world will end. As the story progresses, the central protagonist reveals that he doesn’t remember the message and as such, is considered insane. Interestingly enough, one possible meaning behind the song is that the abduction never happened and the central figure did, in fact, have a ‘trip’ on DMT, a hallucinogenic drug known to cause alien abduction hallucinations. So, how you choose to look at it is down to you. For my piece, I knew that I wanted to paint the alien. The orb that the creature is holding is what he shows to the loner where, inside, it reveals the secret of how the world ends. Of course, even if such a being could show a person how the world was to end, we as a race would never really understand what it was saying anyway. Its terms of reference would be, for better a word to describe it, alien and thus we wouldn’t be able to gather any understanding to it. Its a little like this: my two friends who play guitar often talk about pick ups and line outs and the such and as a drummer, these sorts of terms mean very little to me and so I don’t understand what they are talking about. Now imagine that a creature from another world had something it wanted to show you. This is in fact another possible meaning to the song itself. The abduction happened, the man just didn’t understand what the creature said.

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 12” x 16” / Description: Based on the fifth song from the Tool album 10,000 Days, The Pot was completed in 2009 and was an attempt at a more surrealistic style. In this painting, I wanted to infuse a sense of wonder and mystery to a surrealistic style. I also wanted to capture that magical element that is so apparent in Tool’s music. I didn’t base my painting on the band’s meaning of the song as I had portrayed it (inadvertently) in another piece. Set in a desert, a man encounters a giant pot that has no explanation as to why it is there. Suddenly, a fleshy eye opens and stares intently at the man. The man stares back. The Pot doesn’t blink. The man forgets to drink water. The Pot is indefatigable. The man soon dies. The Pot closes it’s large eye and continues to hide it’s mysteries.

Wow, thanks to all of you photographers and artists that have come for a look. I’ve only been on here one and half months but I’ve had sales here and additional ones from directing people to this site. I also have three photo ‘shoots’ coming up so I’m very happy. This is a wonderful site and bar the bitching and jealousy issues (not of mine, of real artists), a great place to set yourself up comfortably and enjoy yourself. I havn’t had so many late nights since I was a teenager. Just last year you know. That’s right.

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 10” x 14” / Description: Based on the eighth song from the Tool album 10,000 Days, Rosetta Stoned was a joy to work on.

As the story progresses, the central protagonist reveals that he doesn’t remember the message and as such, is considered insane.

It has just been… amazing. Thank you everyone for all of your support, without which I wouldn’t be where I am right now. With love, / Keegan

The First Stepback of 2009

Aren’t computers just big shits? Well yes and no but I write this journal as a testament to a wasted evening trying to sort a blunder I made on my PC just a few days ago.Basically, I had accidentally deleted a very important driver that was for the sound card in a “2009 start of year clean up frenzy” (that is its official name) where I was removing lots of junk from the PC I didn’t need. The original plan for the evening was to spend it researching The Angel of Death, Psychopomps, The Necronomicon and The Collect for a piece in a series of paintings based on the Tool album 10,000 Days, whilst listening to some music, as well as gathering up lots of images of octopuses for another project. But No! Because of my blunder I spent the evening trawling through forums looking for the link to a driver that would fix the problem. Several hours later…tears were beginning to form in my weary eyes as luck wasn’t on my side. It would seem that my computer wasn’t giving me the information I needed to find the appropriate driver and I had no idea how to get it. It looked hopeless…until I remembered my GoBack option (this was at about 2 in the morning! Luckily when a friend built the computer for me nearly 4 years ago, he added the GoBack function as a last resort, in case I did something stupid like this. And thank Brian It worked! The sound is back and working fine (phew) but there is a stern couple of lessons to learn here. Firstly, don’t deleted things you obviously need. Obviously… Secondly, always make sure you have a backup plan like a restore point program to take your computer back a couple of days to undo any stupid errors. And finally, always be sure that the thing your deleting is what you want to delete. Simple I know but if you want a stress free, waste free evening that was set aside for artistic research or endeavor, don’t mess with your computer. It cost me an evening I really needed to use wisely.
