Preface:

This is a collaboration with my friend (anonymous), whom I met about 5 years ago, then he was still the most ordinary teenager, as they are at the age of 15, inappropriately pretentious and carrying nothing behind him

But we got loose with him and he turned out to be one of those people who listened to my words and found the strength to do what I told him then, for six months I helped him a lot with the development of graphic editors and told him about how you can think, how many miracles there are in the world and what incredible things he is actually capable of

After that, he went "free swimming", began to study what he was interested in and, most importantly, he did something of his own, developed his own style, did not imitate and is still like that, admires what he likes and does what he wants to do

We started collaborating, showing each other different interesting things, helping each other, implementing various projects, hiking, taking pictures, sharing incredible thoughts and approaches!

Now he is independent and I am very proud of him and, in part, blame myself for what I did to him
our ideas, thoughts and works with him are already far beyond the verge of insanity
, he recently wrote to me, I will quote: I think I've lost my mind

I really like his work, his approach, he conveys stories, adaptations of dreams, thoughts, so I decided to pay tribute to our achievements, friendship

During the creation process, I came to the conclusion that the result is similar to a comic book page, there is no beginning or end, just a moment of action:

This work is based on a photo taken by this friend
I stand in the center, above me are my thoughts and ideas, at that moment of the photo shoot and in general my vision of the world.
Yes, the colors from above are Radiance and I draw a parallel just now, it was closed from me, on a subconscious level

There is a spiral around me, and in it my friend's work is inverted, which indicates
his vision of the world, I turned it over to show that our views on life, our thoughts are different.

At the bottom of the work, I added a few more of his works that I liked, because they are associated with characters, their "unusual" appearance indicates that they have their own history of becoming individuals, have their own ideas and thoughts

I mixed his processing style with my own in the work, and also created a filling indicating a variety of different thoughts, red, burgundy and purple, because they are all about something terrible, pernicious and inhumane, forbidden, but Adam also picked an apple. I did this to show that by doing everything in our own way and meeting in person once every few months, we steadily convey one common idea through our work
It's like it's in our blood

My face is smeared because the thoughts of a murderer, a rapist, a person who has committed some terrible act are mixed, schizotypal, disordered

By this I indicated that my friend and I had already committed this act - this work, this page of the comic, neither its beginning nor its end, only a note that we have already started and are not going to finish

I am not going to do such images:
because it's a tribute, and in principle should not often be repeated
because understand it's only me and him, and for others it is just daub
and because this sucks all my mental strength, I could do something like this every couple of months, not more
