Description
My Mind is a Fishbowl with one swimming thought to entertain me. Reposted, used pen tool to clean up all the lines I did not like. Added jazzier background to pull the blues out. Made the fishy look like he is really insde there. I think I want to put some highlights on there, but not tonight. I need sleep. Thank you all for checking this out.Wacom + Photoshop CS + 4 hours + photo of self for reference + 2 hours cleanup.

I like this. It's a great idea. Fish are entertained so easily.. I think food is probably their main thought.. but they do actually have longer memories than 3 seconds.

i love this. i love the old look of the pages next to the cartoon-like figure, and it doesn't hurt that it's got a strong concept backing it. i've seen some of your other works too, and i've got to say, it's everything i would do if i had that kind of talent. i totally dig your style. hope you don't mind if i

sounding like an aussie's not too bad, when i try to talk with an accent i usually sound like some bizarre british and irish mix.
in regards to my username, it's a line out of stairway to heaven by led zeppelin - "and as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls..." really great song, and band.

Thank you very much for the fav! Thank you also for the friend add! I hope that you continue to like the art I post here! I secretly wish to have a european accent, when I imitate a european accent mine sounds more like the croc hunter (australian). Have a great weekend. What is the significance of "tallerthanoursouls"?

Thank you very much. Again, I'm blown away by the creativity spanning your gallery. You should get yourself a wacom tablet. I think you'll love it once you get the hang of it. I believe it will bring your art to life in a new way.

I think it's looking really good so far, Adam. I hope you keep up with it. It actually reminds me of the self-portrait Dave McKean did years ago. You might like it too if you've never seen it.
Aside from that, it's really cool to see someone else using Wacom to show how realyl awesome it can be. It makes me want to set mine back up!

Thank you very much. You've got some nice stuff up. If you can find a link to the Dave McKean pic you mentioned, could you send me a link to it?

Thanks for the kind words, Adam. I appreciate it.
Though the picture is small, you can see the self-portrait of McKean I was talking about here --> [link]
