haha - that is from my tradition of "Scaring the Neighbors" - by far not my scariest painting. Interestingly enough, my "scariest" is also the most liked on any network. One guy even had it tatooed on his leg!

Hahaha, how brave he is :) Maybe scary is not best description, it brings some nervous feeling in me while looking into the skeleton head @thermoplastic..

Yes, totally it gives me sadness, maybe because I feel it like what the world became of..killing of the minds..

I just checked my stats on that painting: 288 hits this month on my website, but overall on Fine Art America: Viewed 35,113 Times - that is where most prints are sold from: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/deterioration-of-mind-over-matter-otto-rapp.html

call me crazy but this one brings sadness in me, not fright...
