there is so much sadness and nostalgia imprinted in your work.. and it's somehow, beautiful

I can't even point out verbally what exactly makes the tears stream down my face, it must be something ineffable......

Simply beautiful and clear. Such emotion personified in a single image. Truely a work of art. Have you ever listened to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata? A great piece of music for a great piece of art.

I'm currently trying to write a story. It takes me hours to move an inch towards what I want to express. You manage it in one drawing. I am a really big admirer of your work.

Is there some way to read this series in linear form? I just find bits and pieces in your deviation gallery.

I'm actually a little upset that your war of the heavens is no longer my featured favorite. I think I will have to sneakily un-favorite it and then re-favorite it. After this one sits up there for a while.

a very human feeling... and very understandable.. the simplicity of this series astounds me... it's very well done, and yet at the same time... seems to ... childlike... almost like a childrens book...but much too serious for that...

...I didn't think it was possible, but this actually looks better now. And to think, silly me, I loved it before.



Please note: the skulls are all buried now. They can't hurt Michael anymore.

He's safe now.

The whole series is cute, but still keeping an artistic edge. This one I think is probably the most poignant and the best.
