Heaven and Hell - This charcoal image of heaven and hell was created by combining a number of High Renaissance master copies. My objective was to parallel the relationships of the blessed and the dammed.
This image was conceived, executed, and abandoned within a 16 hour period. My inspiration came from the song "Black Jesus" by Everlast. I heard this image in the music.
