You're one of the most amazing canvas artist I've ever found on DA.
This is creepy, and so full of details. I love the people's features and all the atmosphere it has.

in many ways your work makes me think a lot about neil gailman, specially the dream and satan series...
It's very layered and it's definitly impressive...

we keep watching you, great work.

chink ribs . ? . i just went to a party where the oriental ribs were named chink ribs . it sort of bothered me

like if some sort of african dish was named nigger girts . it would be wrong

i don't know why . chink / yellow back / charlie / towel head / .. wow

I'd not heard the chink ribs thing. I've heard Hersey's Kisses called something that would likely be considered a high offence these days. Blah, we should all just laugh at the foolishness. Laughing people tend not to kill each other.

This one is stunning.

Of course there is the fabulous owl, but there is so much more to be seen, well, to be studied I should say. How you've played with the cracked branches of the dead tree while a character is emerging from the mud made of its longtime lifeless roots, how you've organized the whole rite... Dark snake and white lamb seized by the ambiguous virgin, in front of the blind and faceless icon of the stained-glass windows... yet, we have to take in account the gazing eyes of petrified men ... How you've managed to compress the time itself in one and single scene, that's where you're unreachable ... always Dany

Senecal [2006-12-24 17:07:25 +0000 UTC]

Another fine work. I really dig the kinetic composition of that arm, and of course the symoblism throughout is hours of fun. I think it would be fascinating even if seen from space.

Good stuff!

Christ, that owl looks amazing. I really wish I could get a closer look at some of the details. I'm loving those jars, as well. The whole thing reminds me of a an older occult movie.

I'm wondering if you've sold a lot of pieces like this.

incredible. i'm always kinda at a loss for intelligent sounding words when i get around to them, the detail and creativity are always mindblowing, even in paintings that are almost as old as me.

merry christmas to you as well
