The structure of this allows me to concentrate on your idea: it's visually laid out well, acting as steps up or down the piece, as well as directing me to other areas of the painting. Movement is continuous, and I think that has a lot to do with how skilled you are with colour.

Some areas I find seem as though you've had two agendas while painting this: the central structure commands attention, and many of the areas act as a secondary thought. The dashes and hashes (which have become a Jasinskism) in this work, seem to fill in space rather than perform as part of the whole. However, some of the same work is seen in the robot's head and body, yet it works successfully - they're not just dropped in as glue from one image (the smooth paint-work of the woman's face) to similar work in the robot. Likewise on the right.

Your work is, by its very nature and suggestion, pop - and I feel as though there are elements that rub me the wrong way: the far too overused stormtrooper especially. Some parts become lost: the pink-headed figure to the left of the orange-haired boy, and a lot of the paintwork below the final step of waterfall. That could also be the documentation, but it's something I notice in the work.

As far as your title and concept: I'm pretty sure I understand what exactly you're on about, yet without that title, I may have a little trouble discerning what each figure represents. Perhaps nothing. I just feel there could be clarity.

And Aaron, I have always wanted to see you work large. 40" tall, yes, that's larger than how you usually work. But I've waited (perhaps perpetually) for something that kicks me in the face with it's sheer size and complexity. 76" x 64" maybe. 50" x 50" even.

Anyway, as always great painting - you're so in tune with colour and light it's fantastic, and your ability to compose is inspiring, likely not just to me.
