Oli Sykes Blessed with a Curse

this is my original painting of Oli, with some added digital background efx (I can't paint lettering THAT well)
inspired by songs on BMTH's latest CD and a weird dream I had that connected Oli with the tarot card 3 of Swords, also known as the "Lord of Sorrow". Yes, I have some very strange dreams of late. The tarot card meaning is the printed lettering in the background. It isn't a card you'd want to get in your reading.

I think his songs 'Blessed with a Curse' and 'Don't Go' definitely had an effect as I was painting this...the broken heart...
Or is he like the tin man, without a heart? just gears and screws...his face betrays nothing but smug serenity. Only he knows the truth.
