Description That's Little John! Isn't he cute...... He's my bed buddy........I absolutely love him . But sometimes I just feel like eating him . Seriously though, I made this peice in an attempt to portray the terrible things that we often do to those that we love. But.....it turned out kind of humorous. Oh well....I hope it provoked some thought. And I know there will be a comment about the size.....so I will answer that: It was not that good of a quality photo, as you can probably tell, so I didn't want to make it all big like. But anywho, comments and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx ya'll!

-Bernie

I LOVE THIS SHOT! i like the black eyes. makes you look a bit psychotic. and eating the monkey sure adds to that. other than that, great detail, i love your hair! and your eyelashes. i like how your hair stands out from the bleak colors of the background and your outfit. poor monkey. he looks so happy and you're gonna eat him. oh well, great shot, anyway.

Hahah. Yeah, that's a pretty funny shot.

Still, it's a really nice shot. The detail is great. I like the colors a lot, and the variety of textures.

Great shot. Leave the poor little guy alone, . I really like your treatment of the eyes. It helps to create this expressive yet unattached look. PS where might one find a "little john"?

"I made this peice in an attempt to portray the terrible things that we often do to those that we love"

It's the humoristic portrayal of such a serious matter that makes this piece and its message so great

Haven't been around DA much, let alone make my own stuff, but its very good to see youre still alive and kicking Bernieman!

ninjakittykat [2003-11-30 17:11:46 +0000 UTC]

the thumbnail made me laugh, i was like.. EAT THE MONKEY! EAT HIM!
but when i viewed the pic in full view and saw the sheep word and your eyes blacked out i realized there was an actual concept..

it almost looks like youre singing into the monkeys head. which makes me think about standing on a soap box and screaming to the world about all the problems of it..

love your muted colors as always. the portraits of you are always beautiful.

if i dont fav this a monkey god somewhere will smite me down. im sure of it.
