This is true. It would not have taken so long, though, if someone was paying me to do it from the start, though. But since it was for me, ... it is sometimes hard to put good books down. Thanks for the Fav's, by the way!

i LOVE african animals. and agian kudos! this is somthing that id hang on my wall!

Well, you can hang it on your wall, but you'll have to part with a huge chunk of change. That's why it's still on my wall, everyone loves it, but not so much that they'd pay what it is worth. I might do prints of this on my own and not through this site. If I do I'll let you know ...

omg.. you have the patience of a god, with the artistic hand to go along with that patience. bravo is an understatement.

Thank you for your compliment, but I am not a god, as several artist that I've pissed off on this site will tell you. You, on the other hand, have the same amount of patience as I, but you choose to use it in a different way. I just happen to focus mine in this way, and some times I even use it with my children ...

lol i have patience? hmm how'd you figure that out?
π: 0 β©: 1
We all have patience for the things that we want or like to do, where as people who do not like the same things as much do not waste their time doing the same things. Elementary, dear Watson!

The bird is such a great contrast!
I love it!
Two years....
Even if I had read a lot of books, if I was working on this, I don't think I could have done it so quickly!
Amazing job!

Thanks. Actually the bird should be a little darker, but what's done is done.

pointillism... two years... and you get this.
wow.
i'm stunned.
you've got the hand and the mind for your art.
kudos!

As stated before, it would have taken me less the two years if I had read a lot less books, and focused more on it. As no one was paying the bill, I took my time ....

This is the most amazing pointillism piece i have ever seen! The color is an incredible touch and The detail is insane! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your kind words. Try finding it with this sites new 'FairExposer' filter, though ....

No problem, I give respect when it is deserved. And you deserve it all!

I understand that you have requested a print of [link] Unfortunately I do not have prints of that yet, but if you are really interested I'll try to get you a quote within a day or so. I do not let this site print any of my finished works do to their policies and I don't trust anyone with files large enough to make quality prints of my work, unless I can work with them in person. I do have museum quality prints of the Zebras, Giraffe, and Dolphins at the moment. I also offer notecards of my work at my official website, if you are interested.

well as much as I would like a print of this, I never requested it nor do I have the money right now. I am preparing for the birth of my child right now. Sorry
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, this has happened to me before. If you are not careful when you hit the 'Add To Favorites' button it will also click the 'Ask for Print' button. No worries, enjoy the new child, they can be so much fun ....

Thanks for the suggestion about what piece I should do, and if I clicked the button, I am sorry. Sometimes i get click happy on here.

Wow...now that is a plate of tedium. I applaud your patience, as this looks nothing short of AMAZING.

LOL Now that's funny. Also a very nice job.

wow. no, i hadn't seen it, but it's really good.
Only one thing, though, pointillism,... isn't it supposed to be only with the primary colors,
having, then, to make your black with the mix of them?
Anyhow.
whatever.
Your drawing is very good. I like it

i must say that this in indeed impressive. but I don't know if I appreciate you as an artist or just your patience and your skill. because frankly from a self-proclaimed genius and master of pointillism I was expecting a little bit more originality in your works not just a great skill to copy a photo. I don't want to offense you in any way...it was just a thought

As for photo-reference, I like to follow Robert Bateman's example. Perhaps you have heard of him, perhaps not, but this is what he has to say on the subject; ' I could never understand why some artists shrank from using photographs. Many, many years ago, I can remember students asking in hushed tones, βIs it all right to use photographs?β I have never heard of a good reason not to. One person said that it could make your work tight and unexpressive. Well, my wife uses photos for her painting and she is a bold, abstract artist and very expressive. Others whose work is loose and free and painterly do as well. In fact, in the last several decades I donβt ever hear that question. Everybody uses photographs if they are at all interested in realism. Even modernists and post modernists such as Warhol, Rauschenberg and Richter show photo-based paintings which are in the collections of big city museums.'

No offense taken, because I know you are watching FoxNatural [link] and that in your disbelief and frustration at his getting caught at photoshop-lifting, you might try to lash-out at me.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think you are avoiding my question. Watching FoxNatural doesn't make him my friend to defend him. And yes I agree with you that the 2 images have a lot(maybe to much) similarities. What I don't agree is the fact that you sustained on his page an entire theory about being a true artist, and about originality, when in fact, as I said before, I don't see that in your works either. I do not know any of you personally so I think I am objective enough right now. And again yes I think you are right about him, but I also think that you are not quite the appropriate person to judge him so...harsh. Oh...and by the way, stop campaigning against him on other people's pages. It is not nice and maybe some of us are not interested about you differences.Thank you.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't see where I used the term 'true artist' or were I was proposing a theory, so you'll have to be more specific there. As far as originality, what were you expecting?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm right, but I'm not the 'appropriate' person? I find that a bit interesting. If not me, than whom? As to 'campaining' against him, he tried to bad-mouth me where he thought no one was likely to see it, as a retaliation for pointing out his crime. I merely thought he might like the same medicine, but I didn't try to hide it so much ...
Maybe you are not interested in 'differences', but you replied non-the-less. As far as being 'nice', which is the greater crime, seeing one in progress and doing nothing or seeing one and challenging the criminal out in the open?

Well, while we are waiting for ~suckadelik to come up with a reply, I might add that my so-called 'unoriginal' artwork has garnered me awards and solo shows, so I still don't know just what kind of 'originality' ~sucka was expecting. Perhaps she'll enlighten us at some point and time ....

Jesus H. Christ...That's incredible. That's masterful work you have there.
I love the added color to the bird. It would have been hard to make out in black and white against the ear, but it also adds a kind of feel like it doesn't fit. Not in a bad way, though.
I love it.

Thank you. This is, of course, after many years of practice.

I love it!
