The Watcher

Uploaded: February 03, 2012

Description

An alteration of reality. Beginning with a blank canvass, I started with a vision (no, I wasn't drinking) and a composite of multiple images I've taken over the years. All images layered, textures added for effect.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
