Are you aware of the fact that this same image was used by the band Astriaal as CD print for their latest effort "Anatomy of the Infinite"?

I'm not surprised. This is not a work of own design entirely. It's a photo-manipulation of a 1597 painting of Medusa by Carravagio. If however Astriaal used my manipulation, let me know.

Yes, they have used your particular manipulation. Combined with an abstract rendering of the Tree of Life from the Kabbalah.

The artwork is better than the music on the EP. Don't get me wrong, I like Corpus Christii.

I didn't give it a good listen. Corpus Christii is good, but I've never given them much attention.

Medusa! Her facial expression is fascinating. I like what you've crafted from the wood painting.

It's one of mine as well. Almost all of Michelangelo's paintings are truly fascinating.

I like this. Have you ever seen the 'Net of Being' by Alex Grey? It's got a similar triple-face aspect. I really like your work; very esoteric.

Yes, I've seen Net of Being. But while Net of Being contains a triple face, my work contains a dual face. But I can certainly see why you made that association. Thank you kindly for your comment!

It reminds me of a picture I once saw in 'The Dark Side of Christian History' by Helen Ellerbe.
Ah, here it is actually; [link]
Anyway, very nicely done!

I always thought it was a brilliant painting for its rather unique expression. I was pleased to find out that by mirroring a half of the painting, a triangle appears which when pointing down is symbol for the unholy trinity. I'm glad you feel something by looking at it.

That is really cool! I love how you merged that center eye.

Thank you kindly! It has been sold to the biggest Black Metal band of Portugal (inclusive a full layout which is almost finished) so I'm very happy about that.

Beautiful design work, man. I like the "3rd" where the two faces meet.
