am i the first to comment here? woot

your work really shows how given enough talent, creativity, and time, it is possible to achieve great things. i am not an art major myself, but i have studied some good art in my time and yours definitely right up there with some of my all time favorites. awesome work. i am currently going to school to be a doctor, but you make me at least consider how great it would be to have the time and ability to create works like that.

i am floored by your attention to detail and incorporation of symbols and historical figures. thank you for creating this piece of wonder.

My dear man,

I fear it be in my best interest to tell you that, after viewing this recent addition to your gallery, I feel the need to marry you.

Love,

Me.

In all seriousness though, this is simply amazing. You've a great talent. One that I admire in the most highest of ways. I wish I has the time, talent and patience as you to start and finish such magnificant work.

I can try to get away, but I've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all of my bad parts
I don't want to listen, but it's all too clear...

LOL!!! You rock! Thanks for such a heartfelt comment!

you are god of surreal, wish i understood half of the symbolism here but it is just beautiful in it own right. the differences in texture are perfectly rendered, just cant stop staring at it

More than pleased. Since I've been doing pieces like this (only a couple over the last year or so), I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't try to outdo myself, but rather, should just try and go in different directions. Each of these pieces represents an intangible idea formulated into a tangible expression of that idea/emotion/memory. As I often state in these comments, I take my place as a "gatekeeper", merely allowing the piece to be a means with which others can engage. The artist not being the end-all be-all of the art, merely bringing the piece to its halfway point by finishing. The viewer then is allowed to bring his/her own unique experiences/memories/feelings into the equation and "finish" the piece. This allows for not only a unique experience from each viewer, depending on emotions, experiences, and memories, but perhaps a unique engagement during each viewing, as different emotions and memories are inspired in the context of the moment.

This piece represents a thorough discussion between my subconcious and my concious mind, and everyone is allowed to read the dialogue. I don't think I could be displeased with the results after a certain point, as that point breaches the line between artistic talent and artistic creativity, and allows for the spread of ideas that can be ascertained no matter what...

Thanks for your comment
