Artist's Comments

this is a visual comment to austrian history. it is very dark indeed and was made for the viennese magazine "melange" as an illustration for a story about conspiracy theories.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-05-04

A disturbing, stylish composition combining fine monochrome figures and gruesome color, the dark history of austria by ~johnfsebastian shows the mastery of this macabre imagination. (Featured by `stigmatattoo)

Many countries have conspiracy theories but only in Austria 90 percent is true. ;)
The absence of perspective in the crown looks a bit awkward, but I guess you intended it that way.
The choice of Empress Elizabeth is excellent, she's so illustrating for what's happening to Austrian history for anyone who has just read one decent biography about her...

Anyway, I love your work. And Austria. :D

i like how recognizable the key figures are... they're realistic but sort of charicatured as well.

the marx is my favorite.
