Artist's Comments

This started as a commission from my cousin, who happens to play the violin. He had the idea of a violin with a heart, which he wanted to put on some t-shirt. I don't know how to draw so I couldn't make the illustration he wanted, but I liked the idea enough to execute it in my own way. Thus, I did.

While I was making this, I was listening to the King Diamond album "The Puppet Master." This album is about a, well, a puppet master who makes his puppets out of real people by rather brutal and gory means. I thought that was great, and it sort of sneaked into this piece.

It is said that musicians put their heart into their music, I think that Violin by `disintegration is an excellent example of just this. (Suggested by ~YellowCat and Featured by $damphyr)

Great album. I'm sure he'd love this piece, it's beautiful and inspiring (I'm a violinist as well, this is very inspiring.)

Do you ever do prints?

Spend some quality time with the demon of mine;
I like the way you struggle, but you know Im here to win.
Spend some quality time with my borrowed smile;
The gleam is replaced, rip me open and erase me

Clearly a piece for a musician who plays from the heart.

Very striking. I would have liked to see the full neck of the violin though. But nonetheless..this is pretty hot.
