Large format (23" x 33") Spencer Tunick photo from Phish's summer '97 festival, The Great Went, in Maine. I chickened out of posing for it...

Briton Rivière (1840–1920) was a British artist who specialized in painting animals. Rivière meticulously studied wildlife to perfect his compositions. He attended dissections at the London Zoological Gardens and kept the “body of a fine lioness” in his studio. In this work, he paints a scene from the biblical story of Daniel, a Jewish official in the service of the Persian king Darius. Darius had issued an edict that no man should pray to any God or man other Darius himself. Daniel defied the ruling and continued to pray toward Jerusalem, so Darius convicted him and threw him to the lions. The next day Daniel was still alive and unharmed. Rivière shows Daniel with his back turned on the lions in relaxed contemplation, eyes raised in deference to God. Here Daniel prefers to face death rather than forsake God.

I do as well. I grabbed one of the last ones it appears. Funny thing is I'm not really a fan of the movie but I like the imagery.aldobishalini wrote:I was too slow with that one... managed to grab a regular tho. The variant is fantastic.. love the Chinese.

Eelus adrift but I drymounting creased when I took it out of the tube. Oh well.
Usually just do white frames but framer had an almost exact match so went that route.

Looks great! You should think about springing for the museum glass. I bet that dude floating would look even better with the illusion of no glass.
I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive. - MJK
