Artist's Comments

Death upgraded from a scythe during the bubonic plague era. During the dot-com bubble he upgraded again. More on that later.

Today I spent a couple hours in the studio experimenting with my new 5D. WOW! I am beside myself with joy at all the spectacular additional detail it records. So.. I thought I'd shoot some stock for people to use for Halloween. When I got the camera I also got this bitchin' radio-remote so I can shoot stock with myself if I get bored. I hear that if you shoot too much stock with yourself, you'll go blind...

I wandered over to my neighbor's and asked if I could borrow his scythe. I knew he'd have one because Bob has one of everything in his garage ("Nuclear air craft carrier...? Sure... there's one around here someplace - take a look under those boxes there...") - and I saw the reel mower. Of course my brain immediately skipped a beat.

Please do not use this image for photocomposites. I am posting a whole set of these to my stock account ( :iconmjranum-stock: ) this evening for stockers to play with.

Very clever visually. I like how death is just floating along.

It's funny who coincidences are sometimes the sources of very original pieces.

I draw wings because I believe people have the power to fly. I draw them on half-naked girls because I believe I'm a pervert.

Yeah the 5D rocks pretty hard. I don't know if you ever have the chance, but you'll be even more impressed if you ever shoot at high ISOs.
