Its just thin layers of watery acrylics-and the concept is that everything is consumable in todays society-Hows that for a soundbite??

Awesome concept...I love the expression on their faces...by the way, is that Charles Manson's face on the "Pig Boy" kid?

Reminds me of the work of Todd Schorr and I only say that as a compliment. Todd is one of my all time favorites, so your style really appeals to me.
Very nice

Great compliment man-I havent heard that one before-most people here dont know who Todd Shorr is-Haaaaaa! I was trying to have a fragganard/ryden look to the trees and background..Glenn Barr is the bomb too

It's amazing what you have done with acrylic cause it is a medium I struggle with, and when I look at your pieces, I couldn't tell it would have been done with acrylics since the gradient you have achieve with the color mixes transitions so smoothly..

Your subject matters are also shares a whole new perspective as it encourages each of us to think and study them for the meaning and message behind your pieces. Thank you for sharing such personal thought or message through your most familiar area in art.

What is it that you hope for those here to understand from this piece if you do not mind me asking? you do not have to answer if you don't feel the need to..

Thank you David for your efforts and also kindness in sharing each the opportunity to learn of your growth and journey through this outlet..

Thanks for your kind words/inquiry-I use really thin watery layers of acrylic paint to get the blend right..like with flesh Ill do a face in reds and once dry ill go over it with watery yellow to bring out a warm orange etc..The statement/meaning of the piece was how our media oriented culture drugs our children with images and garbage-and that every living thing consumes..I dont know if that came through at all-But It did come out looking ok anyway so im happy-Thanks again for the niceness~Dave

It sure did, you sure captured it thoroughly here as that is the first impression I got, and it's always encouraging to hear from the artist side what message they are trying to express and through what you have shared here, it is a reassurance...Thank you David: )))))Isn't ironic how these things resurface and we come to find what we were taught aren't what we thought is normal or right but everyday we find ourselves having to test this ground we stand in learning to see...

You have found your own technique in blending those colors so well, just learning about the process you have taken, it's really wonderful to see how each one use their voice in art. Thankssss a bunches David: )))))Keep it up: )))))It's so encouraging to have a place to learn through your perspective/art because it shares another an understanding of this life we live..There is so much going on that it is so easy to become blind so I thank you for sharing what it is that you feel you need to voice out, a good reminder: )))
