Thank you very much for this, apologies for the delay in responding. That's an interesting point there about the face, I'll see if anything can be done, and I am very glad you like it, thanks for your continued comments mate!

funny story....but i really do like this work
not scarey
i would call it "emerging" ...something all artists do

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

aobaob In reply to Markus43 [2009-06-05 15:35:43 +0000 UTC]

Something all artists do? I suppose so, but would that depend on your level of extrovertedness... or was there a hidden philosophical message in that?
I'm glad you like it!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Markus43 In reply to aobaob [2009-06-05 18:41:10 +0000 UTC]

emerging happens through the decisions you make when creating your work(s)...not necessarily when it is shown and accepted/rejected by others
self examination and realization of motivation is a gift to the artist from the work

The lower part of this pic is also completely black, but it works because you have the face as the focus. It makes the pic feel claustrophobic, which is part of the idea, I guess.

aobaob In reply to daYavuz [2009-06-05 15:41:33 +0000 UTC]

I don't know, I think there could potentially be too much black area, or depending how you look at it not enough. At the moment it is sort of on a 50/50 basis. Claustrophobic? Hmmm interesting analysis, I may use that as a title if you don't mind.

dig the over contrast and darkness with the large gap atop the face. my two cents, but in any economy, i'm sure it won't go that far...
