Oh heck yeah! Too bad they don't have one here in the Seattle area atm. The one near Houston was pretty awesome - a permanent settlement. very cool indeed!

We have one at the Kansas City fairgrounds, but it's turned into a fantasy festival and it's just a bunch of quacks and fanatics now, so I don't go anymore.
All the fun annual actor travelers were severely limited in their acts when KC's new Ren Fest president put down some new rules. He thought many of their acts were offensive or unfit for family viewing. So most of the fun ones don't come to the KC fair anymore.

Oh! What a shame... I'm really sorry to hear that. Leave it to the few to make rules for the many and ruin the fun there used to be had. Well, here's to a new regime with better insight to what the people really want, and here's to parents who teach their kids properly about life and all there is in it.

YES!
I went to a Ren Fest in Oklahoma a few years ago with my husband. It was much smaller than the huge KC one, but all the fun actors were there that don't perform at KC anymore! I was really happy to see that it was only KC that ruined it.
KC now has stupid-looking fairies running around the entire park, Dungeons and Dragons FANATICS who are dressed like their humanoid characters, and the entire nobility dresses in psychedelic and neon colors. I can't stand it. Glad that crap hasn't happened at the other fairs....

LOL!
Yeah, I've seen the same in places with "inferior" fairs. I love going to those where people take their roll playing "seriously" and have a great time in period costuming and persona.

The role playing can be fun, but I've tried to talk to fair goers who just won't break out of character and it can be annoying, especially when you try to ask a question that they refuse to answer seriously.
I asked a fair guest where she got her elf ears once, because I'd like to buy some too. She kept saying she inherited them from her mother and acted confused when I seriously tried to get her to tell me where she bought them. I love D&D myself, but it remains a game for me. Some people take it way too seriously and they ruin it for me.

I totally agree with you - I sometimes wonder how these people find the time to be real with themselves. LOL

the light...the way it defines...and the details are quite stunning...if I had one wish it would be that you had includes all of his feet...it's nit-picking I know and hardly worth mentioning...but it is kind of funny that off all the things I could have wished to see it's his feet isn't it? ;o)

Not at all! It's a good point. I left his feet out (for the most part) for dramatic effect and a little for a play on the title... But I appreciate you pointing out your likes and dislikes of the piece...!!

There is NOTHING to dislike in the photo at all...really...it's an amazing image with or without the feet. And I see your point about the title and that does make a difference in how I look at the image.

that's good advice...but from my point of view...even if you did call a work "Poopy noodle pizza face" it wouldn't alter the fact that you create images that speak volumes...with or without words your images are so compelling...so masterfully executed...so moving...they need no explanation...they need only be experienced with the heart and mind and soul.

Personally I think 'Untitled" is a perfectly good title...and apropriate for any number of reasons. I don't think I could conceive of an instance where I would criticize anyone's choice of title...that is the domain of the artist...if I find it means something different to me that in no way gives me the right to say Hey...change this. We all respond based on our own experience...I may have shared similar ones to you or someone else...but not the same experience or in the same way...what I call it may not be what you would. Your work speaks beyond words...they may give a context to the image...but the image itself always move me on level that transcend the definable. I can't tell you the number of times I've looked at something you've shown here and just sat...silent...stunned...struggling to comprehend the mind and the talent that could conceive the image before me.

Very interesting idea you came up with. And the hint of his hot body on the edge is sexy.
