Just wanted to note that I got the idea for staples from an image in the Pain Challenge by Nospeak called forbidden fruit. I got the idea to colour the apple all by myself!
The dark, self-mutilated apple with an attitude. I was immediately attracted to this image (though I am not attracted to its human counterpart.) This one truly made me smile with its understated nuances aligned with its overstated brash title. Well crafted work. One of my top ten picks.
