I love this. A pretty powerful piece. It has imagery, but the imagery is so blatant that you can't really miss it. So even for the people who don't think that deeply into art can get it. I prefer the more secretive form, but this really gets the message out to more people. The background is phenomenal. Gives the impression of fire without putting in details that would detract from the main focus. Also the texture on the nozzle is amazing. That must have been hard to do with real paints.
Don't Ask me what I would have done.
