Totally an original idea. I saw a photo of a man's back after being flogged and my imagination ran and this is what I came up with. This took layers and layer and layers of me dripping ink and letting it dry. I added a layer every night for at least 5 nights. I wouldn't add much, but I was intentional on where I added. The painting even has texture, visual and physical. I love how ink dries thick with a sheen, much like fresh blood dripping down flesh (sorry to be gruesome, but this act deserves proper respect and depiction). I wanted to create a reaction, both physical and mental.

This painting makes me cringe; every night I saw you painting this thing. AAAHHH; it hurts just to look at it and think how thats so true. I think that this is my favorite painting that you did for the stations. You should hurry up and show the world the rest of them. Great job Les
