Thoughts behind the artwork...

As our race continues to consume itself generation after generation... defeating ourselves with pointless greed and a never ending compulsion towards material gains... as we neglect each others basic needs as fellow human beings in order to further ourselves as individuals... driven by our own petty ignorance and hatreds... manipulated by our own fears and delusions... we are being watched, studied, and scrutinized by beings of greater intelligence. When we have betrayed and weakened each other to the point that we can no longer stand side by side... they will come.

The text above is from the original artist statement which originated many years ago. In the years leading up to now, I have had many people say that to them, my work is eerily prophetic. Honestly, this is just a little bit too chilling to think about. Especially since I created the image over ten years ago.
