To get an impression of the scale of this painting, look at the pics in my previous post, they're all closeups of the finished thing. Notice the volcano dust trailing the hotrod and how you can follow the side of the volcano from the last hut on the left (movie reference), rock by rock most of the way up the summit. The reason the right hut has light in its windows is that really ugly cannibal stuff is going on in there while the rest of the village is abandoned. The idea in my head is that the last remaining villagers are completely insane. They captured some of the party that brought the car here and sewed their eyes and mouth while they were still alive, then removed their heads and stuck them on poles without bothering to shrink them. Thanks everyone for hanging in there will I took a couple of weeks to post this and for the excellent comments. The disaster my life has suffered seems to be slowly turning into a good thing in the long term. You guys really are the best! http://www.robbhamel.com Sold velvets have been cleared out to make room for new stuff. [ Edited by: Robb Hamel 2009-09-11 18:16 ]
