I wanted to say that I rather highly amused by the fact that your work is labelled "piece of art", just in case it wasn't clear.

i put that in there for some of the slower members of our audience.

Wow, maybe that could be a feature on every page of devart. Giant red letters at the top, reading "Artwork below." Wouldn't that be fantastically annoying?

i dont know about every page.. can we leave the bad anime style drawings out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, though... The problem with that is you would have to garuantee that the "art" was indeed very bad anime. And that would probably mean doing something silly like . . . making a panel of 20 or 30 people at least to judge it. Much too much red tape, I feel...

Great work! I like how everything is layered.
Where do you find the images to make these?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you.. there are almost 30 layers in this image.
i search for old postcards, magazines, photographs at flea markets and local antique stores.
some of it came from a big box of old photos and papers that belonged to my grandfather.

Did you add the red dots with a stamps of some kind or were there there previously? Very nice piece
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no stamps. and no they were there before.
this image in it's native .psp state has 29 layers. and those red dots compromise one layer. they are vector shapes that i drew and then grunged up a bit.

i always want to add in my comments that i had fun making this and that i loved doing it.. but i think that would get repetitive after a bit.

i love it.
i read your comments to ~kolimpah, and would just like to mention i see a story in there,
or maybe more than one.
anyway, :hert: .

thank you.
sometimes ther is an intentional story.. other times the story sort sort of just happens. i like to let people see what they see and make up their own story based on what they see.

what are you trying to say with this piece? what was your motivation for making it, why did you choose the images and words that you did?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what am i trying to say with this piece?
good question.
what was your motivation for making it?
my motivation was creative play.
why did i choose the images and words?
to answer that you have to understand how i work. very rarely do i sit down with a preconceived notion or idea. sometimes i have one or two images that i might want to play around with and work into an illustration. things usually evolve from there. from there it's all about design and balance and finding images that seem to have some sort of connection. It's more about building a structure.
so that is why i say 'good question' to your what am i trying to say with this piece question. if i am lucky something coherent comes out of it. some sort of story is told.
i hope that helps...
