OMG - so simple yet so emotive. Incredible piece of art. I bow down before your creativity.

Never heard that term before

Do you know "Slow Food"? The opposite of Fast Food! It is the "5 star cooking" in Europe!
Slow Art is just an idea and positive formula from me for an (most) excellent work of art which is carefully made and not just in a fast second...
So it should have a more than 100 percent sense of meaning!

Ah that makes sense, Id never heard of "slow food" Thanks for clearing that up and thanks for the compliment

Your welcome! May be we should open a deviantART SLOW ART group ?

That would be a cool group, If I had the time I would be happy to do that, but unfortunatly time is something I dont have a lot of >_<

Okay - I understand. But for slow food and slow eat or slow art you have to change to a slow life! Than you will have also a plenty of time and hopefully a healthy and longer life!

That sounds pretty good to me, But thats one of the reasons I dont have time, I need to keep enough time to be able to do my art. I like that philosophy, Its refreshing in this fast world where people run around non stop all day chasing their tails, I think more people need to slow down. I think the world would be a better place. Im a bit of a philosophy fan and really do belive that not enough people just stop and spend time thinking, a curse of modern life work work work busy busy busy and in doing all this they never actually stop and think "why am I doing this" never stop to contemplate life. Sometimes I think that the powers that be make it so, put demands on people to stop them thinking, I know thats getting into the realms of conspiracy theories but there are examples of it in the past as Im sure you are aware, the Romans for instance. Anyway, thank you for your comments, I enjoyed reading them

It was you art that made me think about to slow down a little bit more... and just to rest and let flow all around as you have captured it in your total clear graphic picture above! This picture should be an offical sign to have deep rest before any important action in all governmental rooms of the world
and than some kind of stabil peace probably will come - for ever!

Upside down it looks like a cartoony little fox! An irritated one!
But seriously, haha, this is the first time you've done lines instead of 3D figures for your abstract concept illustrations, right? I like it! It's more like a pictogram.
I really CAN'T unsee the fox though, sorry!

lol, yeah I had noticed, was wondering if anyone else would, should have known you would lol I do have a few of these more minimal line type of ones in my gallery from a little while ago
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, so you have. This one's different though- there aren't any straight lines like in your other 2D ones...and by straight lines I mean JUST lines, like the arms and legs aren't one line in this one.
This one looks less like a chalk drawing than the other 2D ones and more like a computer icon, or a motif sort of thing I think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I get what your saying, it was gonna be one of the more chalky looking ones but it just didnt look right that way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it would've been alright, but I'm probably imagining it differently. Still, you did well here, as usual.
In other news though, Upside-down Fox will haunt my dreams...

I dunno it was weird, I igured it would work too, I tend to work black on white to start with on these then later in the process invert it, just didnt read so well when I flipped this one, it lost something somehow.. still Im kinda glad it gives it a different feel and I likes it
Aw well he aint so scary... I hope he aint.. you got me woried now
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting! Yes, I agree, the black on white gives this one a feel that's ideal for the concept of "Conceal". I mean it's easy as anything to hide stuff when everything around you is dark, but this way it's more obvious that an effort needs to be made, hence the tension.
He's not scary at all, he...he just looks so disappointed in me!

This is true, I have to admit that never crossd my mind but now I can say it was intentional for that reason lol, thanks for that
lolz yeah that hurts the most.. weve all been there.. the cold stare of a disappointed fox

I'm good at providing reasons where none existed for art type things. When I grow up, maybe I'll become a spin doctor.
Yeah...*hangs head in shame*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, well maybe a spin doctor.. or an art Critic mayhaps..,. nah I think spin doctor.. has a nicer ring to it plus you get to say "the doctor is in the house" which is most satisfying

It really is! Good thing I'm already an advertising major.
Maybe I'll even print that on a T-shirt!

It's NOT mind control, dammit! No advertising, no matter how slick could get ME to buy men's loafers or foundation. Advertising is designed to sell things, yes, but if you don't have the strength to resist buying something you don't need, or your kids don't need, that's YOUR DAMN FAULT. I'm so tired of people telling me I'm training to be evil or something! *rant over*

I know, I was only joking, sorry if that offended you

I know you were, sorry. That subject is sort of my "Berserk Button". [link]
I really shouldn't have gone off like that, though. CONFLICT RESOLUTION EMOTICON ACTIVATE!
All better?

Excellent!
INITIATE CELEBRATORY EMOTICON SEQUENCE!
Okay, that went a little too far, I'm not that happy.

I don't believe I've ever seen an artist represent isolation, disillusionment, depression, introspection and the like, through concise, contemporary, commercial-clean icons/symbols/imagery. You have a great knack for expressing complexity through simplicity and precision (which is something I'm not too good at but I'm working on it). And this may sound cliche (and it is) but don't stop, keep producing art. You seem like the type of artist that will never stop evolving, unlike the growing population of static artists, the disengaged tourists and hobbyists that are too afraid or uncaring to communicate and represent who they are through art.

Cheers for the comment mate, really appreciate your words, means a lot coming from an artist I respect, your work is amazing and has aspects I aspire to, you seem to have such a loose and free style that Im in awe of, so yeah cheers and stuff
