Blue and yellow go greatly with each other. So I absolutely loved your use of colors!

And in this call to cubism you near make this 'face' lose all objectivity with bold abstract shapes... I like it for this too...

However, you've lost me with your artist's description...

The mixture of colors is fantastic. It reminds me almost of the Egyptians. Yet again, a ton of detail! I think this is one of my favorite ones of yours.

I'm really enjoying your work. It seems like this direction is blossoming for you. Perhaps it's the addition of dog food or mosquito larva, or maybe it's just that your shading and line work gets richer and richer as you make this madness more and more compelling. How big are these? I'm going to imagine that their 24 feet tall, and that you've had to paint them using a push broom while wearing high powered whirly gig on your back and a jet propelled benie on your head.

I wonder if you could get some characature portraits squeezed into the overall assemblage so that the various faces would be facets of the subject?

Thanks for sharing your magic!

Thanks! Most of my stuff is somewhere, broadly, around 8" by 11".
And that's an excellent suggestion--putting multiple caricature portraits on one 'overall assemblage'. I sometimes have a hard time creating something when I have a preconceived notion of what I want it to be, but I will have to try that out some time and see what happens.

It's really a wonder to behold how you keep the different elements of your work together to create a whole image.

I can't stop looking at it...It's giving me whiplash...And it glows with an effulgence hitherto unseen, even in these parts. It bears a striking resemblance.

Thanks! Background in art? I've been drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil, and I took a couple classes when I was little, but aside from that, I don't have much in the way of background.
