Look At what I made!!

I've been working on this piece for...a long time now. It was inspired by a musical artist named Kenna (who is a guy...and he's black...no joke) and the song is called "Red Man."

Listen to it here and see what you think.

The lyric that struck a chord with me was/is: "I'm a puppet cutting strings." Here's the picture:

Isn't he just deliciously creepy? A far cry from my usual stuff, which is why I like him so much. I tried to capture the unsettling mood of the song. I may have taken "unsettling" a little too far into the realm of "creepy/macabre" but I make no apologies. The background on this one felt so empty, though, I felt the need to do some touch-up work. So here's the new, the real, finished product:

The full verse is:
"noise too loud to heeear
LAUGH too hard to feeeeeel
when I fall asleeeeep
I'm a puppet
cutting strings"
 (spelling and layout taken from original printed version of song, 
found in the album "New Sacred Cow" by Kenna)

So I've titled my piece, "When I Fall Asleep..." (since "puppet cutting strings" was a little redundant) It would really make my day if you would listen to "Red Man" and tell me if you think the picture relates to the song at all. Or just stay here and admire my pretty pictures. That would make my day, too.
