Artist's Comments

I did this image a while ago, one of the pieces that went into my newblood spread. This is the variation though, that I submitted to the Utah showing of the traveling exhibit "Frankenstein: Probing the Secrets of Nature," developed by the National Library of Medicine and the American Library Association.

I wanted to, instead of focusing on Dr. Frankenstein's monster, to focus on the fact that the monster was a direct result of the good Dr.'s ingenuity, his obsession, and his passion. Instead of focusing on the product, I wanted to express the 'equation.'

After the showing was over, the exhibition space purchased my print, and it is now on "permanent" display in the Atrium of Utah Valley State College's Library.

I should have a print available by the end of the day, in sizes up to 24 x 36", becuase this thing looks soooo good huge, and I want one for myself.

Hey, I really like this. It's awesome that it's up on permanent display somewhere - congrats :D
Did you use some grunge brushes after the vector linework to get that grunginess splashed about this pic?
