I created the initial idea for this piece while listening to DragonForce's album "Sonic Firestorm" and proceeded to work my way through all of their albums as I painted it.
This is a piece I did several years ago. It was one of my first attempts at abstraction after years of trying landscapes and other realistic art which I did not find quite as inspiring.
This piece came to me while I was on the exercise bike. My Ipod started playing Def Leppard's song "Photograph" and this image flashed through my mind.
