Head Go Boom

I have long been thinking about comic art as a vehicle for fine art expression. Recently I saw the work of artist Nathan Olsen. He's currently working on his masters in (I believe) illustration at California State University Long Beach. If I'm incorrect about his specialty someone please let me know.
Anyway he just had an advancement show and one of his comments in his artist statement that accompanied his work was about the "... absurd and impossible landscape..." that I felt he expertly expressed with his "absurd and impossible" imagery.
Something I quite enjoy thinking about.

In this work I felt like I wanted to express the way people tend to be bound by some nonsense from which it seems apparent they could easily escape.
Yet they don't.
Instead they go on to let said nonsense blow their mind (as it were) or somehow otherwise completely wreck their world.
Ultimately I believe I will be adding to this work to create more depth in meaning as well as a more unified whole.

Stains

Neither of these two "stains" I've posted are really stains at all.
They are not really digitally produced in their entirety either.
The "stains" were hand drawn and the backgrounds were texturally digitally manipulated.

I like the concept but the execution needs a little work - at the moment I have an idea or two in mind to spice them up a bit. Additionally I have a number of new stains that I am currently working on.
