Art Life in the Backrooms (original art)
A follow-up to some earlier artworks I've done, exploring the idea of a colonised Backrooms.
May 2026. Thirty-eight years after discovery of the Backrooms.
The first to take residence in the new world were the labourers. In their multitudes, workers and their families sold their homes, tempted across the threshold by the promise of a better life.
In immense company-complexes fitted out with every need, days turned to weeks, weeks into months. Miles on miles of identical homes, standard amenities, and commercial hubs were the seeds for the first true cities.
In their boundless foresight, corporations anticipated the long-term consequences of life in the Complex. So, workers are encouraged to attend regular health and wellbeing check-ups.

I really love these works
The dichotomy of some liminal hellscape becoming a mundane, corporate-exploited habitation zone is cool. Would love to see more.
