Artist's Comments

As promised, a yellow painting with mushroom cloud.

Nuclear energy is, so our leaders would tell us, safer, greener, a good thing, that's why 'our' enemies shouldn't be allowed it. What? They might be making teh nuclar weepons? Holy shit, only the west is mature enough to have that kind of fire power and not use it.....

Oh and read this article about the use of depleted uranium ammunition from 2001 [link]

So, just in case we don't hit a school, hospital or just the home of an innocent civilian with a bomb, we can still get 'em by leaving tons and tons of radioactive material all over their country.

Acrylic on cardboard.

Wow, I love this:

the textures, colors (how they work together and separately), it's all good.

Good message as well. :thumbsup:

The title made me squirm. I'm a wuss about some curse words =P

"Enola Gay - not a proud little boy today".

Anywho. Great painting. Nice ideas. I love the purple in the smoke.

Thank you very much, I try to avoid using purple too much, it tends to dominate a painting =P

I apologise for the title, since moving my language seems to have got worse, although the level of death an atomic weapon delivers might be an acceptible cause to start effing and blinding all over the place :D Most curse words here are the names of diseases, which is weird, it means I can say THAT word and no one reacts but if I start talking about cancer I get disapproving looks.

Yeah... my step-mum is brazilian and in portuguese the word 'cool' is very rude indeed... so when we see family who don't speak any english it's always interesting... =P

this touches a soft spot for me for suree.. this whole concept of nuclear energy/warfare is really high up there on the list of things that makes me angry. i love your choice of colour and the texture is really quite nice (nice may not be a good word for it) i think it displays the subject very well! its always nice to see other peoples work on this subject (however mine isnt up yet)
I really like it!
