"Nine Inch Nails was an experiment with me in discipline. I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything. Schoolwork came easy to me. I learned to play piano effortlessly. I was coasting. I realized that I was afraid to really, really try something, 100 percent, because I had never reached true failure."

Mixed media. Lettering (well, the one on the actual painting and not the photoshopped watermarks) were done using silkscreen printing. Size 30 x 20 inches.
Wow.
I love how you put the quotes in there, and how the bottom one is spaced all perfectly to make it into a clean shape rather than look all messy. You're skill is really amazing, of course. One thing I would suggest however, is to have possibly flipped some of the pictures so that he's not always facing one direction in all, or I suppose most, of the shots. For some reason when people make composite pictures like that it tends to bug me if the pictures are predominantly facing in one direction. Granted there is one that's facing toward the left, but it's not enough to really break away from the motif. But disregarding that technicality, this is really a beautiful and amazing demonstration in talent, not just in how successfully you reproduced those pictures, but also in how you blended the pictures so nicely by fading the edges. I also really like the running paint in the bottom left edge, and the rough texture in the bottom right.
It's beautiful.
Trent's the best
congrats!
