Gerard Way rising from the devastation of 9/11 to create the most inspiring band in the world today [In My Opinion].
EDIT: To the people saying that they are offended by this painting and are ignorant about what My Chemical Romance has to do with 9/11 - you should know that the event is very significant in the band's genesis. Gerard was in New York that day and saw the towers fall. Because of that, he quit his pointless corporate job to go out and do something important with his life. He created the band to make a difference. (Incidentally, the song that inspired this was the first that was ever written by them and is all about that day - read the lyrics). I've used the towers as a symbol - a turning point. That something good can come out of a place where everything seems bad. Sorry if you're offended, but art is art. You're entitled to your opinon. P.S. What I noticed most about those negative comments was that no one asked how 9/11 might have affected me personally. Nice knee-jerk reaction guys. Good to know an artistic community is so open minded. *sarcasm*
Acrylic paint on masonite board.
Inspired by the My Chemical Romance song, 'Skylines and Turnstiles':
Youre not in this alone Let me break this awkward silence Let me go, go on record Be the first to say Im sorry Hear me out And if you take me down Or would you lay me out And if the world needs something better Lets give them one more reason now, now, now
We walk in single file We light our rails and punch our time Ride escalators colder than a cell
This broken city sky Like butane on my skin Stolen from my eyes Hello angel, tell me where are you Tell me where we go from here Tell me we go from...
And in this moment we cant close the lids on burning eyes Our memories blanket us with friends we know Like fallout vapours Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun Scorched and black It reaches in and tears your flesh apart As ice cold hands rip into your heart
Thats if youve still got one thats left Inside that cave you call a chest And after seeing what we saw Can we still reclaim our innocence And if the world needs something better Lets give them one more reason now
This broken city sky Like butane on my skin Stolen from my eyes Hello angel, tell me where are you Tell me where we go from here Tell me we go from here...
