The Evil That Men Do...

The title, "The Evil That Men Do..." is part of a line from Marc Anthony's funeral oration for Julius Caesar, from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."

My picture is not about Caesar. It just looked evil and the line came to me as I stared at it.

"The Evil That Men Do..." was created in Mandelbulb and PhotoShop.

Nice one, John.

Achieved some good good dimensionality and.. range of tonalities.


Chaotic and disturbing. (In a good good way, of course.)

John - The b/w and its strong contrast gives this creation an aggressive, angry mood. As Les notes, chaotic and disturbing, in a good way. Well done! Thad

Looks like the labyrinths of an evil brain. Such is the power of suggestion - you said it looked evil so I saw evil in there - but I think I may have done anyway. On the other hand I may have seen the intricacies of sea coral :)

Great range of tones and an interesting work.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

It's the black and white that gives it a sinister look. Very nice, John.

Very well done John. Some of them appear to be screaming in true agony over the evil pain that has been inflicted. This one strikes to ones very soul.

John, I do suppose that one will talk not that long about my funeral (when my time is there), because I'm not famous like Julius Caesar. Think too there will be held no oration then, lol.

What Marcus Antonius has said in his funeral oration, has inspired you anyhow to create this very fine abstract. Think that Antony could never have imagined this.

Regards, Cornelius.

Clearly a fractal that got up on the wrong side of the screen. Chances are the math is not adding up correctly. A beautiful b/w creation, John. Nice contrasts and details.

This image is dark and very strange in appearance. When it comes to bizarre images, you're definitely the man.
