Post A tribute to Brian Morrris
This is a little fun thing I did late last night. I am in NO WAY artistic, so I am not taking any credit for this... and depending on the feedback, it might be better that I don't.

Brian Morris, aka ooo000ooo did this picture for the upcoming I Want Your Skull skullzine and I immediately fell in love with the artwork. I used it as my background for a bit and decided it was time to throw color onto it.

Honest opinions please... I think its kind of cool, but at 2:00 in the morning on Ambien, lots of things look cool!

Here is the original art piece from Brian Morris:

and here is my "tribute" to it:

Thanks for looking!

I like the blue and the green squares, and it would be good if you could subtely colour the flower. Sorry I have no idea who the original artist is.

The updated images are looking extra wicked and yes please, I'll take a 24" by 24" on heavy stock as well...!!!

It's almost like some kind of crazy Morris Warhol mashup or something...

you should crop the original to sit right on top of the four squares and have all five images connected together as it is in your intial post...
