Dali was a great lover of the Psychedelics and would savor this melting moment ... no doubt a Blue Period. *salute*

Your images are starting to illustrate a certain style when it comes to still life objects. None are the same and i'm always interested to see what is coming next mate. Its like you are taking the simplest of objects and making the viewer think hard about what and why you manipulate it in the way you do. I'm sat here looking at this one and the first thing that hits me is sound waves distorting the field of vivion. Effective mate though I expect I am way off the mark.

I think you have me analysed about right. I aim to take ordinary objects/subjects and show them in a way that is not seen every day. Is that not what art is concerned with - showing a different perspective on the ordinary, which gives the viewer an opportunity to see something afresh? Surely we ain't taking shots just to fill up our hard drives? Thank you for the comment: much appreciated as you are a Viking Warlord.

Love this!

The effect works really well - almost like waves on the water (short wave radio?). There is enough distortion to make it interesting, but still keeping the it within the realms of recognisable.

Keep it up!
