Hey Nick, it's Zac - Figured I'd give you a shout and add you to my Deviant Watch. Excited to see the new piece. I'll have a new watercolor posted tonight as well.

"like a tiny patch of midnight in the mid-day sun"

very bold gallery, really high quality work...it makes me feel first, and then think second.

ps...Some of your pieces don't zoom in at all, I would love to take a closer look at 'collapse' in particular

Thanks for the compliments everyone so far. I just noticed I uploaded the thumb of 'Collapse' and will remedy that as soon as I arrive home. Check out my full site though which has all and more, including details of each:

right on, great website. I love the photographs of the bone church especially, I remember seeing something years ago about a bone church somewhere in the balkan states that was built with the bones of the victims of the black plague, is that the same one?

Thanks again & I'll be offering prints soon after my newest piece is complete. I'm sure it's the same Bone Church you've seen before. There is another in Portugal but this one is just outside of Prague in the Czech Republic that my girlfriend & I visitted last August and yes, it's created out of the remains of the overflowing cemetaries and 40,000 corpses out of the Black Death which initially a half blind monk arranged in pyramidal shapes in the four negative spaced corners of the crucifix oriented layout of the church. Later in the 19th cneutry I believe, an artist was commissioned to ornately decorate the rest of the church with the remaining remains.

A couple notable aspects of the church, there is a sealed vault in the center of it which contains the remains of 13 nobleman and a coat of arms created out of bones resides in the left arm of the church. On it is a bird made out of bones as well which is picking out the eyes of a Turkish prisoners, whom the European Crusaders were perpetually battling for religious supremacy throughout the early last millenium. The statuary photos are of the reliefs of a monument just outside the Ossuary walls where one can see a statue of a Cardinal holding a demon subjugated by a chain around his neck and the relief of the man about to be hanged I believe is the martyrdom of Saint Matthew.

Various depictions of Skulls & Bones can be seen throughout the church & the grounds as columns on the walled enclosure, atop the steeples and a white S & Bs in the pavement directly in front of the gates entering the grounds (all of which are within the photos which I should probably add here as well).

In short, thanks again for enjoying.

wow, thanks for all the information...that must have been intense to be inside that church. I like your work, I will keep an eye out for your new art
