Finally - here comes something "NEW"! - Although this picture is already over a year old...


I was watching a documentary called "Der taumelnde Kontinent" (the staggering continent) on German television, which was showing how people in spent their final few weeks before the outbreak of WWI.

Even though the storm was already coming, clear for almost anyone to see, still the party went on...until the horrible awakening.



This was the longest work I have ever done. That Picture is also slightly larger in size than what I normally do (the original is A3 size) and it took me almost 9 months to finish (with interruptions, of course). The medium is pencil, as usual, and I decided against the use of any coloring or other digital stuff on this. Just old School paper and pencil.


RIP to all those innoncent people who lost their lives, loved ones, youth or / and sanity during this horrifiying War.

HaruEdwardsReally powerful work — the detail you’ve achieved with just pencil is amazing. It’s fascinating how art can capture that sense of people carrying on as if nothing was happening, right before a storm. Reminds me of how we sometimes distract ourselves today, whether through films, books, or even things like relaxing by the water with companies such as Pools By Wyatt. Thanks for sharing such a meaningful piece!

MadelSmithThis is really powerful work—sometimes pencil alone captures a mood better than any color could. The way you tied it to that documentary really adds to the impact too. It’s sobering to think of people celebrating on the edge of such tragedy. Truly moving piece, and I admire the dedication it took to finish it. You’ve got the focus of a true Warrior Babe putting heart and strength into art.
