Wonderful job! Last time I came to check this out, I didn't have the time to comment but I was amazed by it's originality so I just hit the button, which you totally deserve. Congrats on the Feature too!

Anyway. I love it how this resembles the socialistic propaganda posters! Is that too far fetched? Well, the style is also very original and the use of the patterns and colours is wonderfull. A fantastic piece of art!

Thanks so much for coming back and leaving a comment! The look of the old socialistic propaganda posters was exactly what I was going for. Glad it came across as that. Thanks again!

This is very interesting. It reminds me of 1984, and the ubiquitous posters claiming "Big Brother is watching you!" Nice work...very well thought-out.

heidel [2006-03-21 16:07:29 +0000 UTC]

I like it. Before I read your comment, my first thought was the writting was a bit flat and all you need is to add is a copy of it in a dark tone behind it off shoot to the left or right. But that's just preference, not really necessary. Great piece, grabs you. I'm going go check out your other stuff and see your normal "flat look"

Very nicely done. The type face works. I like the distressed look that this has, and the pattern showing through is very nice.

Fiachara [2006-03-21 14:15:17 +0000 UTC]

The pattern adds some texture and complexity to this image and that typeface works well for the soviet propoganda style. I think you've found the next step in this image's evolution.

nice use of colours, striking image, the only thing i would criticise is the shapes on the face. I feel it i a little out of place. all in all great work
