    As do I, wish you'd posted a bigger version though.

    I like the idea of it, but i'm not really a fan of the portal- if you didn't tell me it was a portal, i'd have no idea what it was (i would think its a comicbook-esque action pannel. I'm also not sure if the morphing itself comes acoss. To it looks like a minature pony instead of a dog morphing into a horse... perhaps you could try to catch it more mid-stage (the face 1/2 way or 3/4 of the way into a horse) the it would be easier to tell that is what is.

    How very Duchamp of you to say so. I say that because Duchamp used to loath art historians for putting too much description between a viewer and the actual piece of art (either with words or text). The title actually has nothing to do with the creation of the piece. I started to draw a horse that then started to look more like a dog to me, so I shifted gears and got trapped in the middle of it all. It was very -stream of consciousness- style, no intentions here. I actually sat down to draw what ever the fuck came out of my hand, for good or for worse. It was fun :)

    Thank you for all the comments!

    looks much better large.

    I see him lying in the sand with a circle of stones around him, dying and stretching up toward the camera.
