Description acrylic on wood panel 20"x25"..based off of the sketch Gathering angels...this painting references the idea of lucid dreaming...characters are represent things in our day to day lives...i dont know it doesnt make sense to me either...

the wood is fuckin brilliant here. i don't use obsinities usually in my comments, but i said it out loud when i saw this, so i thought you should read it. the way you've laid the paint over this makes such an illusion of textures, where it doesn't seem like 1 flat piece of wood, but rather carefully chosen, individual textures laid over specific parts digitally for illusion. the hills really feel like grass is moving on them, reflecting a sunset. and the character design is great for your lucid thing. all of them feel very seperate, like they should be part of different pieces, but the color choices and your style bring them into this dream. badass.

kid, if you don't have a bright future ahead of you, none of us do.

This is great stuff, as always. Your use of acrylic paint is amazing I tell ya. I love the concept of this piece (the fairy-type girl is priceless). The wooden panel that you drew this on also gives it a really cool texture ^^ Adds a lot more to the picture. I'd love to see you try to experiment with different styles though (I'm not trying to tell you to change or anything, I'm just curious to see what it would look like). But yeah, keep up the great work!

ok... this one is truely fantastic! the little girl with the magic wand is really great! i wish i was that cute when i was her age! if only my dreams were that good.

do you sell your paintings? cuz damn, i want this one over my bed! perhaps i would have more lucid dreams!

if not, i would have a lovely painting to look at everyday. this is really really wonderful, and i love it in so many ways. please continue this line of more abstract work. it is some of the best and most creative i have ever seen!

i wish i could sell you this painting but im a bastard and charge to much for my work...the wood and the relief framing alone cost me $80..
