Ultrafractal 4.03 - Apophysis 2 betas17 and 21 - Photoshop 7
------------------------------
"...and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him..." Genesis 4:8
"...the Mark of Cain is on our faces, war and suffering..." Kansas (from "The Pinnacle")
"Thou shalt not kill." God
-------------------------
Early man eyes a sharpened stone and imagines his first weapon - a cudgel....The "mark" began to slowly appear on man's forehead eons ago...
Another one using the skull-like Talis and Friends/Sine-mod shape from my "Darfur" image. One of those things you work on and off on until the "message" becomes clear.
Thanks for stopping by and for all your warm encouragement!
