I share that to explain both why I like the painting below--the title of which serves as this post's header, by the way--as well as why I've liked pretty much every piece of art New Zealand-based deviantart user melonjaywalk has produced.
It also should help explain why I got such a kick out of a note melonjaywalk published along with the painting, which was inspired by a scene in Sonic the Hedgehog 3: "Was originally just a landscape before I decided that I just needed to ruin it somehow. So, text."
To see more of melonjaywalk's stuff, go to melonjaywalk.deviantart.com or melonjaywalk.tumblr.com.
Wow, that was fun going through his work. Really nice stuff!

ReplyDeleteHey, no worries, Francis! I understand completely. I follow so many damn people on Twitter that I have a hard time keeping up with any of them :| Anyway, you're very welcome, and keep up the awesome work. I'm just sorry I haven't mentioned your stuff here in quite some time!
ReplyDeleteYou should check out all the rest of this guy's Sega stuff, Simon. His work is amazing!
