Hi Naty:
You are 100 percent correct about the foreground -- it was Bosch. I've been a fan since I discovered his work in the mid-60s on an album cover, a group called "Pearls Before Swine" which was fronted by a singer-songwriter named Tom Rapp. I believe he's now an environmental layer in Washington, DC. Anyway, one of the things I'm constantly exploring with PS is ways to recreate some of Bosch's demons using photographic elements.
The inspiration for the clock was a little bit Leonardo, and a little bit Tim Burton. For some reason, I just wanted to see if I could create skeletons dancing in different poses around a clock face, with a parady of Leonardo's famous image of the perfectly proportioned man at the center, telling time with his outstretched arms. --jim

i've always wanted to ask you: where do you find inspiration for these amazing works?
somehow this one reminds me of some works by H.Bosch...i think cos of the female body that melts with the lobster, and the skeletons...
superb work Jim!

Perfect for Halloween. I've been missing your images and so has Helen! The sky being so close to the ground is what really strikes me about this picture. I think it's time for her to wake up from this dream!

I admire the transition of colors between the legs and the lobster. Picking up the red again in the skeletons is a very nice touch too.

Weird, bizarre, and surreal even by your strange standards Jim. Is it good that you have taken some time away from UF? Are you refreshed abd ready to mess with peoples minds? Welcome back. I agree this is sort of scary too. Significantly, the watch center (w/ Roman numerals as usual) is warped and shifted left. Boy is this strange-- but well done! It's back to nightmare time again-- now that McNitts back;>) Cheers. Craig. PS, I can send you some mushrooms.....er toadstools in your case that would fit right into your compositions.

I must say, as many others have, it is good to see back with more wonderful art for all of us to enjoy. I love the sky in this one. Excellent compost. I would love to see this one turn into a series too. Your work is always a pleasure to view. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great to see you back!!! I like this one very much. Great attention to detail (particularly shadows on watch dial and the very smooth transition of the craw-maid) gives this a very realistic feel--perhaps lighting not quite as consistent on the latter but this is a tiny thing. The background is perfect for the mood. Dark view of woman but a very effective piece, Jim.

You're back!! Good to see a McNitt upload again!
Great artwork, Jim! Can't imagine the time and work that went into this!
It's not pretty, but it's certainly full of interest!
I look forward to the next in the series.
Kind regards, Chris.

Welcome back Jim!
This is a most fascinating image, rather disquieting though.
I love the little skeletons around the clock face. A macabre dance around time.
Excellent work.

I can only hope that this will be a series. I like the looks of this. So many facets. The sky is powerful, The ground, well it just has that look. The smooth transition of the female legs to the upper of a lobster(well done). The skeletons on the pocket watch dail is great. I don't imagine that there is any great significance to the dial is without it's movement and still having the hour hand intact, and the second hand pinion is in its perspective place. A fine piece Jim!
