Artist's Comments

Syd Barrett. Charcoal, ink, acrylic, and colored pencil.

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-10-21

For me one of the greatest tragedies in rock and roll history was Syd Barrett. In this homage to the late singer/songwriter/guitarist, artistic-engine uses a gritty mix of mediums and style to convey perhaps a tortured soul embarking down a long lost highway of mental illness from where there would be no return. Maybe you disagree with the insertion and placement of the 'dark side of the moon' design, but as for myself I found it appropriate since the memory, artistic spirit and influence of Syd Barrett never left the collective hearts and minds and music of the surviving members of Pink Floyd.

Very well done, I'm in awe of his hand!

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

This is so touching ... I believe he passed away a few years back ... and yes I think Dark side of the Moon is perfectly appropriate I don't think Pink Floyd would disagree at all.

Nice... I would have went with a reference from the album wish you were here, rather than dark side of the moon...
