God! There is so much too look at O.O. What a drawing

So much to comment on here -- I was thinking of a lot of stuff as the full-view loaded up. But it was well worth waiting for the full-view. Before it loaded up the only thing I could really pick out was the scratchy quality of that massive black object which rises from the centre out to the top-left, and was worried you'd lost someof your famous style -- luckily, I was well off. I really like your graffity-style of drawing objects, the clearest example being the buildings in the bottom centre. Okay, never-mind that, I'll break down my thoughts into bullet-points, because as I said, got a lot to say.

(+) The compositon looks to me (and correct me if I'm wrong) like a landfill site, with the two sections in the corners being huge piles of society's detritus, but there's also a lot of movement in the two 'piles', making it more of a metaphorical or symbolic landfill.

(+) I really like the female figure in black ink moving upwards tword the angel statue in the blue 'pile' -- the differences in inks makes it work really well aesthetically, and it also increases the sene of movement in the picture.

(+) There are a lot of images of death in there -- skulls, gravestones, the big ol' bleeding heart, the gask mask etc but these are balanced out by the flowers, hearts and stars, so there's a constant swing of mood in the picture.

(+) No upside-down cross in this one, but plenty of right-side up ones. Something changed? Or did you decide to leave it out? Or, as I have done many times with similar projects, did you just forget?

(+) Other than the little flowers, the other major organic movement comes from the tentacle things, most notably behind the bleeding heart -- but instead of going against the feeling of doom, they actually add to it. Nice.

(+)Okay, there's plenty more I could point out, that I won't discuss because you probably know it all anyway, but here's a quick run-through of the other stuff I would have commented on -- Money, bleeding heart, checker boards (including the breaking one), phrasing, music (band names, allusions to punk), fighting bunny, feeling of drowning (hand reaching out in black section), fire at bottom of picture.

Hopefully my comments are appreciated...I've mostly stated the obvious, but something like this deserves reading properly.
Excellent. One critiscism -- I would have been tempted to do something with the large white portions in the background, and I'd also take the time to completely black out the scratchy bit (time consuming I know, but I can't help feeling that it detracts from the picture). Word to your mother.
