So I'm sitting in class with my friend beside me looking through DA, and I come across your work and this picture, so I'm checking it out, and he's like "Wow that's a depressing picture", and starts bitching about it, and I was just like, "What the hell are you talking about, the colors are so bright and rich, it's an amazing picture!"
So yea, that's my story... he's an idiot, ha ha.
But seriously, this pic, has truely inspired me! I love it! I love your pencil crayon work... which is really nice to see since it seems to be a dying medium and all there ever is anymore is art done in 'painter' programs, which are good to, but not traditional... Good job though, your work is gorgeous!
<3

he thinks it's depressing? cool....
better tell him not to bitch about my pics or they'll hunt him forever HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
*cough cough*
um....
but I am happy that you like it
you know I like the pics painted on the computer, but it just does not work for me, I need a pen in my hand (or a brush) to feel arty

Ha ha ha... yea I already told him he's a complete moron as soon as he started bitchin lol! :-P
Yea the computer illustrations are really good some of them, but I aswell, don't think I could do it... without being able to hold the art in my hand, and smudge and work the medium, it just wouldn't be the same!?
PS: I really like the bright red outline you used on her

love the purple fringe, the colouerd arm thingie and the star! so cool! infact the whoule thing is really cool! but i think her hairline might start a little to far back. but other than that its really cool! and even the bk ground is funky!!

That is absolutely the hottest thing EVER!
For a while, in HS, I wanted to be gothy, but I could never pull it off because my mother wouldn't let me put even temporary dye in my hair... she's a vision of what I wanted to look like when I was younger... wild and free and doing whatever she likes!

That is so imaginitive and sensationally beautiful that it makes me want to cry. It makes me want to cry tears of various colours and then search the pool of them for more beautiful images.

i love the eyes, they have so much emotion in them. her hair is gorgeous and her lips and teeth were a good indicator that shirley was the inspiration behind this. i love how you use so many colors. there are about 5 other things in your gallery i want to fav, but i'll restrain myself : )
