Hold Your Breath

A Successful experiment in photo-bashing, a technique of chopping, editing, and altering ready made images into a new product, like collage with a purpose. A technique used heavily in concept art fields. I wanted to recreate the opening line in Neuromancer, the image of the Sprawl, of “The Sky was Turned the Color of Television on Open Static”. The idea of this heavy megalopolis, powerful, bright, toxic, muggy, and grim. More then that I wanted to touch on the idea of the death of the individual, as far as men are concerned; that we are on the brink of a new era where the only true individuals are the biggest most well known corporations. A highly cyberpunk idea.
