Mondegreen Codex 1000 Piece Puzzle

1,000 piece puzzle featuring the artwork of Benjamin Styer Recieved as a gift this Christmas and put it together. Ready to pass it along for another to solve. Challenging! In Benjamin Styer's Mondegreen Codex (2021) a continuous narrative of flying creatures, lost souls, and scattered musical energies unfold amid multicolored crystal towers and rivers. Overhead, shapes dart around a darkening sky punctuated by black portals. A Mondegreen is- of course- something, often a lyric, that one hears mishears or misinterprets- think Toto's "I left my brains down in Africa" or Elton John's "Hold me closer Tony Danza". In Mondegreen Codex however, Styer shows how a mondegreen could be visual as well. The painting is, in large part, an epic visual mishearing, primarily of Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights but also maybe of Candy Land and Saturday morning cartoons. This may well be the most puzzle you've ever put together. You didn't mishear that. Read the Kinstler interview with Benjamin Styer here.
