I love that the teddy bears with the day-glo orange sweatbands are just sort of existing in this image as a bit of visual "eyecandy" for the viewer to ponder about "Why they are there and what is the purpose of them being there in the first place?"
As always Mr. Daniel, great stuff from you.

Haha... Yeah, I just threw them in to fill out the empty space. I started with two simple faces and the idea of having one spitting into the other, but then I encountered some problems which led to a fix that led to another problem and another fix and so on...

Nonetheless, I do like it.
Maybe carry the floating teddybears over into their very own painting whereby they are the primary focus?
Also, if I may ask, have your works ever been published in any of the art magazines out there? If not, I do think that they should as you have a talent that needs even more exposure (in my humble opinion).

Yeah, that's actually a good idea. Especially with the animal theme I'm doing now. Thanx!
No, haha... I live in Sweden and I doubt there is even ONE art-magazine here. Plenty of design and interior design magazines though.

I am shocked that you haven't been published. Absolutely shocked.
Your work would fit in quite well in a publication known as "Juxtapoz" magazine.

Please contact them as I do STONGLY believe that you should submit some of your work to them or have them at least view your gallery here on deviantART.
I'm 100% positive on this my friend.
The work that you do is better than a lot of garbage that has been foisted on the Art community for a long time. Give yourself credit where credit is due and know that there are publications out there that would give you printspace or article column length for your artwork, background info, interviews, etc.
Go do it.
You have that so-called "cutting edge" to your artistic / creative style.

Haha... Thank you.
I'm not really sure as to how I should contact them, you know, what to say and such.
Through your link and that site I did manage to find some really nice art though.

If not, then I'M GONNA CONTACT THEM for you.
Seriously.
I am totally serious about this Daniel.
