i love this so much!
your a really good artist.
would it be okay to use this picture in my school project about pro and anti gay on the internet? i think its relly good.
all i would be doing is featuring it in my research. but i think it would really help my project and ofcourse i would give credit to you as the artist

could i be a massive pain in the arse and ask you to send me the image without the DA watermark so i cant use this as my cover page? it's just so far this is the peice that i have found that says the most and its eye grabbing o i i think it would make my project feature well, and ofcourse i will be featuriong your name aka cover illustrated by from-ashes-to-asher.

I love this. There may be a Graphic Designer hiding in you.

I think i told you before my definition of Great Art:

Great art is all about moving the observer in some way, touching their hearts, conveying and inspiring any combination of mood, emotion, story, wonder, beauty/ugliness, message, idea, and thought.

Graphic Design is all about conveying ideas, concepts, information, or selling those or products.

This piece does all of the above things, and does it in a creative and imaginative way.

Excellent work!

This is what I have been doing for a living. Although I am disabled now, I am still maintaining some accounts and doing odd jobs. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Here is a piece of unsolicited advice:

The mission is clear.
First, convey the message, information, idea, concept, or sell the product, in as clear and concise way as possible.
Then try to do that in as creative and innovative way possible.
Then make it look good.

Typically, this is done ass backward. Go to a web page full of great and wonderful effects, animations, graphic, etc, but nobody can find there way around. A web page typically gets a half of a second before frustration starts. Print ads have little time to capture a reader's attention, less than a second, before they move on.

In Graphic Design, the mission comes before the art, and ideally the art is integral in the mission. For example, if you use fancy text effects, make sure they can be easily read.

Mmmm yeah. I am a fan of clean-cut, simple, minimalistic even, graphics. Anything that I've seen that uses as few colours as possible, with more space than actual content generally works.

No, it was for my school, they asked for submissions and apparently will be putting them up around school soon.
