Aww I just love this, such vibrant, strong colours and forms!
Because of the splatters and the colours the painting has a brutal atmosphere, very strong and emotional work

Oh. Nice to see your work again. Two very different thoughts popped in my head when I saw this. First, I really, really wish to visit Zion National Park, and second, if you ever get a tattoo gun, you have a very willing guinea pig on standby.

Come to Zion; it is wonderful. And as for tattooing....Don't count on it. But there is always face painting and body painting. Temporary, though super fun. Check out The Painter Project! [link]

slightly scared of the intense sadness in his eyes, as if to say "i didnt want to do it, but you made me". Perhaps its also the colors, that feel as if something violent has just happened or will happen. dunno but i love it, you have a gift for some deep emotions in your art, thanks for my new FB profile pic haha

Anyone who knows Bill's humor and message would agree with your comment. Behind the laughs, the fury on stage and the rawness about him flowed an undercurrent of sad compassion for the human race and the direction it was hurling itself in.
