book vandalism

Another book vandalism of mine, this time tackling the intricacies of an artwork. An architect has blueprints, an abstract painter has splatters for me, whatever artist I am I deal with details. Does that make me the devil then?
 

This specific piece is almost a complete makeover of Michelangelo's sketch, for he provided the anatomy of the man on his back and then I went on and skinned him and made his other organs and muscle strands explode. It's like looking at an exploding anatomy on pause and not a bit disgusted but instead at awe at the expressiveness of the limbs and surreality of it all.

I've also recreated this artwork on another artwork of mine entitled Diyos Makina (God Machine) it's a smogasboard of artworks I have and a culmination of how God makes divine interventions more than you think or know. Here's a video of how I made this recreated part:

It looks different on the Diyos Makina artwork but alas, both of them are still great works of art in my perspective. I sure hope you like seeing them both. I'll take this time to let you know as well that the video above is in parts, therefore there are other videos just like it you can check them out on my channel on youtube on the Diyos Makina Playlist at:
