Your neck-tied ostrich is darling, Pedestrian! Very bold. I also like the crow-filled coat-person. Creepy but cool. (Cool because it is so creepy!) :)

PoorOldPo,

I haven't visited the thread in a while and so I was unaware of your series of haunting pictures, such as the three below, that seem to show the spirits of people, brilliant as stars, hovering among and in the trees or buildings.

I love how you have developed your own colorful, organic style while exploring this theme.

"River" (the middle one) is my favorite of all. I recall seeing two pictures of yours in which you showed people in boats. One picture (of the Nile) showed your people in their boats upon the red river under the star-filled, blue sky. The second, "River," shows the colorful streaks of trees with just a glimpse of a boat on the water behind them.

I like the way your boats and your glowing people, your vertical trees and buildings, create continuity among your pictures. I can imagine them in sequence in a gallery, such as in the order below. I feel these pictures are wonderful because they seem so full of life and emotion, chaotic yet with order. Your picture of a tree and its deep, pale, ghostly roots, so substantive, also sticks with me. You show the unseen. Please continue...

I am very glad you like the middle one VEGANGELICA, I did that one in a rush for my friend, a gift for his wedding, before I hopped onto a plane. Had to tuck it into my luggage, a big canvas. I think the fact that I did it in such a rush showed me I don't have to spend hours on something to make people appreciate it. Thanks :) Yes, I am glad you recognized those themes as they are things that I think about a lot, the unseen, spirits. I hope to cover those themes once more(now that I have paint again ^^)

Here is my page on facebook. Its only just set up.

Yo dude, killer as always. Like the intensity.

I love that piece zevokes! Definitely something I'd hang on my wall. :)

well, you can if you want to. the original and prints are for sale.

Yup, thats some quality work zevokes.

You get a taste of Escher in a sense, with all the dimension and the black and white format.

escher... i have two friends who are greatly inspired/influenced by escher. they are primarily interested in his ability to create illusions out nonsensical dimensional aspects. i personally don't have a mind that works like that. you know escher's design work? like, the interlocking black and white birds, and the fish? apparently he constructed those using some pretty heavy algebraic equations. i use a little bit of algebra in my work, but it's only to find simple points and ratios. nothing complex.

im always interested in what people say about this piece. you, for instance, talk about dimension. i don't see that when i look at it, and it's fun for me to try and step into your shoes and try. so, thanks for that.

thank you kindly.

I'm very familiar with all of his works. The birds were some of his earlier work and he spent painstaking amounts of time devising those patterns indeed. He was certainly complex and mathematic in his approach.

I see plenty of dimension. Its as if you've designed a Floral World underneath a wheel of dimension. Its almost nautical looking also, I can't quite put my finger on it. That does seem like quite an effort to dedicate so much time to complete something so kudos on that.

I'm assuming it has something to with time and wave lengths.

it could be said it has something to do with time and wavelengths, yes. although i don't necessarily ascribe scientific, spiritual, or philosophic attributes to it, it could be argued that they are inherent in "sacred geometry," as it's commonly described. all of the dimensions (aside from the chaotic, free-hand periphery) are derivative of each other, meaning they are synced mathematically. this type of patterning is said to be inherent in the growth patterns of nature and is also representative of the way sound/vibration works, which, it is also said, is the framework of reality.

Well that makes it all the more interesting to me then. Almost like being caught in a continuum that is infinite. Pretty cool stuff.

indeed. it turns out the math behind exponential growth is statistically proven to be attractive to the majority of peoples' sense of aesthetic value! and all you need is a straight-edge and a compass to do it!

im'a just put this here so a close up of what's going on in the whole is visible.

That's pretty awesome, Zevokes. If I had any cash that would be hanging on my wall.

thank you muchly! :)

Just framed this one!
