thanks very much for a most eloquent comment! i think your interpretation is much more mature than most adults, and it pains me a bit to think that one so young could have reached this level. it's not a place easily reached. thanks again.

thank /you/. hah, yeah. It comes from a painful experience, and learning when you are little that adults can't be trusted all of the time, and they can't make everything better.

wow, thats a stunner.
i like your use of an apricot...much much better than the obligatory "apple".
syringes...can't go wrong there.
...oh and the rotted out spot on the hand, very nice touch.
love it.

yeah, I mean, you cut off one finger and mail it to their rich daddy and they're all, "ow ow ow ow!" I mean, come on! grow up! I'm trying to make an honest living here. and when I go a little stabby, and they start hollering, I'm all, "shut up!" I mean, come on, I've had a long day.

I swear, your recent images are amazing.

You're back to surrealism, something you've got quite a handle on. So, is this the girl's dream, the experimentor's dream, or the peach's dream? Certainly the peach has some thoughts about what's going on.

Excellent manipulation, sweetie.

TheFantaSim In reply to Bark [2005-08-16 18:40:34 +0000 UTC]

The dreamer's dream? Than this is an image with a more deeper meaning than I thought! Not quite a nightmare, but there's something very psychological about it indeed!

Oh, the poor, poor peach!
