Thanks, Teagan. Our collaborations gave me the practice and confidence I needed to start a project like this one. I will always be grateful to you for that. 🙂
At first, I thought he was in his bedroom, Rob. It looks like what could be a bed against the far wall when you look through the light. Then I saw the dustbins and wondered if he was on his way to the nightclub, or on his way home.
He might be heading to one of the local arcades or preparing to mug someone. I’m glad you can still see the bed through the light. I try to make these images work across platforms and monitors, so if you can see the bed, that part of the work is a success.
Oh, I can see the bed clearly, Rob. I missed the blood, though. It also looks as if he’s standing in one of two spotlights, so, for me, the image has a sci-fi element to it. Maybe he’s a robot from the future or even the past?
I can see the sci-fi elements. What I’ve done is used VR to create an abstracted version of Market Street in San Francisco, as I remember it from 1985, when Reagan’s budget cuts and the AIDS epidemic resulted in a massive community of homeless people in the area around our Civic Center. I used to take long walks at night through these encampments to document what I considered a breach of faith on the part of the Reagan administration. Thank you for these thought-provoking comments, Hugh.
Thanks Paula. I’m making illustrations for a story and posting samples to get feedback. Thank you for your comment. I’m listening to this kind of driving beat to help set the tone.
Great post and song, Rob.

Wonderful photo…so much to look at and think. I love the prominent ‘get away’ bike in the background. Tremendously rousing beat to the song too.
