Ominous Black


This is a work of art created by an artist named Alyssa called "Repressed Memories of the Collective Subconscious". The local band Ominous Black has used it on posters to advertise their band and promote their album.  The use of negative space in this picture is excellent.  It's a simple black and white, the unused black portions of the picture accentuate the white figure and the smoke surrounding her. This is a very well composed drawing.


I love this picture.  The band uses this as their default on their Myspace.  It is a photograph of their custom made cabinet. It's a chore to lug to shows, but it is powerful and it contributes a lot to their powerful sound. The visual unity between the cab and the two head units makes for a great picture. They are all rectangular in shape and the colors are not conflicting.
