Artist's Comments

this is a self portrait... with a twist. i wanted to portray my personality. not my face. that was not the point. its a little trip into my soul. look and study.
i could tell you what everything meant but that would be telling.
i am really proud of the idea behind this. it really does explain me in one and i believe i have captured what i meant to say... drawing wise erm... its still what i call not as good as what i want lol.
unblended circulism.

this is extremly good, I love the twist on the self-portrait. Great work, and love the detail in it, can't believe it's unblended circulism. amazing! ; )

Excellent portrait and I'm glad you didn't give us all the answers! Some things should be left with the artist...so later in life the 'critics' can tell you what you meant by this piece...lol!

I'd say stick with doing this personal work. This image is your stongest purely without any doubt.

Doing celeb photos is a bit demeaning for an artist with your skill.

Do your own thing from your own personal reference like this and I see you being in a gallery in no time. Great work chum, keep at it. You inspire, cheers~

Indeed your welcome, I have a great respect for what you are doing, and hope that you continue on this path. I have a good feeling as things progress with your own art, fortune will come;)

There are days when I want,
Days when I need,
Days when I miss my homeland.

But of all of those days,
In so many ways,
Dissapear with a pencil in hand.
