Artist's Comments

Joined up Last Man Standing 3 to bust myself outta my personal artwork slump. The topic: Underneath it All.

I always loved the story of the Elephant Man and this piece was inspired by that. I thought the idea of that story fit the challenge's topic perfectly.

"Monasteriense" is latin for monster (says google ;P) This piece is about superficial beauty and how easy it is for most of us to condemn and brand those who are ugly in our eyes. We don't realize that those we look upon as monsters also appreciate and desire beauty. That's what the butterfly in the picture symbolizes. The "monster" itself is made to look like it is coming out of it's cocoon and we are just about to witness it's true beauty hidden within. The true monsters in the picture are the ones outside the cage.

Anyway, thanks for looking. Critiques welcome.

A pro isn't someone who sacrifices themselves for the job. That's just a fool.
