Thank you very much! I have a few new ideas that I'm thinking of executing along similar lines.

Thanks for your comments here & on "Cut"...they're truly appreciated...& I've liked your facebook page. Your profile page was great & generated a weird totally random thought-
An artist walks into a bar & says- "Bartender, draw me a beer."

Your art is great! Some remind me a bit of Kallela, some of Beardsley. I love this style.

Looking like you mixed art deco painting visuals with japanese printing colors, plus greek pantheon imagery and surrealism approach. What a nice cook you got in this melting pot, huh?

Yes, I enjoyed it because of the cohesion of all those references put together, in a way they do not lose their identity, but converse one each other harmoniously. To achive such cohesion refering so many styles at once reveals mastery in your artistic scope. An awe inspiring feat!

I've looked at this piece a number of different times now. I keep interpreting it differently every time I view. Guess that makes great art. Congratulations

Thanks...started as a homage of sorts, inspired by a couple of other deviations (can I play, too?), then became a sort of self portrait & an exercise in art history (boldly seeking style where...um...it's been done before, but not quite like this. I hope).

Nice one...for some reason they don't seem as threatening as the wee birds in the other pictures though. They look like theyre a bit disinterested in the figure.
Nice work as always!!

Too funny...I made 'em large because I didn't think the little birds were menacing...guess I should try for another, more menacing image (call it a series). Maybe if they had Gatling guns?

Thank you. Though honestly, it's inspired by the 2 links & artwork from the Vienna Secession- especially the graphic artists
