Photomontage

  Here's my photomontage.  The idea behind this is the integration of old folktales into popular culture by placing them in a contemporary setting.  Some of these are very successful and some are not *coughtwilightcough*.  Anyways the idea of an elk or deer skull on a human skeleton is something I've seen around alot and unfortunately I don't know exactly which mythology it comes from, but one book I have links it to Scandinavian folklore.  Usually it's depicted in a black robe, much like the Grim Reaper, so I thought putting it in contemporary clothing would work with my concept.  The background's not for any particular reason, mainly as a reminder that the myth actually is to do with nature, which is usually forgotten when these folklores are adapted for a contemporary audience.  This could have been done better but given my level of experience with photomanipulations I'm pretty happy with it.
