The hanging keys are very stunning. Like trying to make choices for the future, of course. The hair is what I really like. An emotional piece indeed.

Stunning. Love the 'hanging keys.' Is this a concept you came up with? Or from the photo reference? Whatever the case, it adds mystery to the portrait and let's the viewer make their own assumptions as to what it means to them. Simply brilliant, dude.

Anyway, this is one of my top 5 best from you. Perhaps even #1. I think you are getting to the point where you could produce a book with your art. Keep going!!!

Thanks O. This is my own concept so I added the keys and padlock myself.

I'm happy to hear that you like it

I'm not sure about the book, haha but thank you. Flattery gets you everywhere

How are your projects going?

Nah, no flattery here, dude. You got skillz to pay the billz! And now that you are doing more original concepts in your work, I can totally see your work in one of those cool coffee table art books. Or perhaps even a live show? Only thing missing is some color to go with your BW pieces. By the way, have you started working on that color pastel joint, yet?

My project is going slowly. I keep changing my mind about stuff and re-working things. Anyway, you are truly kicking my ass now, so slow the hell down!

But I'll be back in the game late Spring or early Summer for sure! Might even drop some promo singles before then. So be the lookout!

On an unrelated note, are you still running, bro? You won't believe I went and sprain (or perhaps even broken) my ankle recently! Alas, I'm out of the running game for a while.

Haha, thanks dude. One of the problems is having to come up with ideas. I seem to rum through lots and eventually abandon them. Right now I feel like I'm in a bit of a limbo, it's my third day without drawing.

how is your ankle now? I've twisted my right ankle three times, so I know what you're going through. I'm not running at the moment, I've started working out again but it's always difficult to maintain the motivation when you workout on your own I think.

Man, you're getting as bad as me, maybe worse. Anyway, I am eagerly awaiting the new pieces!

odavis In reply to GSkills [2014-05-03 20:49:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, same here. When I come up with a concept or idea (usually in a daydream), what I do is a quick sketch of it. Problem is, I never get around to finishing them! So I end up with all these incomplete sketches hanging around. 

Ankle's doing okay, I think. It doesn't hurt or anything, just swells up real ugly by the end the day from walking on it. Need to keep it elevated often in order to prevent that.

Yeah, I hear ya! Working out is much easier and better when you have someone else doing it with you. Back in the States I had my brothers to whip me into shape!

Thanks, G! You're my biggest motivation to getting it finished! No joke, bro! I guess in a way, you can look at doing art like working out with a friend!

How's the ankle? I wad actually told to walk on it as much as possible. Apperantly the notion that you need to keep it is wrong.

I've started on my next piece but no colour yet. I keep changing my mind about colour piece I have planned, but I think the idea is getting better so I wont rush into it.

How are your pieces progressing?

odavis In reply to GSkills [2014-05-22 07:52:31 +0000 UTC]

The ankle is getting better, but now the right leg, particularly the knee, is bothering me. It was most likely due to applying additional pressure to the good right leg to help compensate the sprained left leg. Anyway, I'm just doing extra slow and short runs. Everything should be fine after a couple months. 

Good luck on the color project. I think you will excel at it!

My pieces are coming along okay, but might have to go back to the U.S. this Summer to finish up some school requirements. Not sure, but if this does happen, it could delay things and I won't be able to meet up with you guys in Greece.
