Description Quite a way to express your feelings, huh? But taking into consideration the severe advers effects (excruciating pain, smudged floorboards, death) I do NOT recommend this.
Again, this was inspired by MUSE (Such an amazing band...). Plus this is the first time I used liquid indian ink and acrylics on a drawing. Added the font in photoshop.

this is a wonderful piece! it has emotion, great humor and it's beautifully done. Congrats
I see by your other comments that you're a fellow scientist with a lot of talent for art! well, I'm not a scientist myself yet, but this year, if everything goes accordingly, I'll graduate from college, and I'm stuck with a dilemma that I'm not sure that science was the right way for me. like you said, "Science is not bad. It's just that I am not interested in it. And you should love being in the lab if you choose a career in science." I love drawing, I just wished that in the future, after much more practicing, I could do something art-related instead of science!
but bottom line, wonderful work

Thank you for your kind and comforting words. All we can do is practice, practice, practice and draw, draw, draw. And maybe one fine day we'll break through and make it into a goodselling comic anthology or something. You never know. Just keep up the good spirit.

this is truly wonderful - i actually laughed out load - that'll teach ya - it's really very funny. and the epression on the guy's face -" wellll i tried to cut your name in me heart deary, but look how it turned out...." very funny.

and graphically very handsome as well - i agree it's a wonderful piece - my favorite as well. i think i remember seeing this - maybe not - but i didn't see it in your gallery when i looked - or was it there? i wonder how i could have missed it.

anyway - back to the list

Thank you so much! It's comforting to read that something of the actual idea of a piece could reach another person.

Most people find it disturbing, some don't understand it at all.

i know - it's sad such wonderful humor is not more widely appreciated
perhaps that's why it's so darn funny - cause it hurts so darn much folks just can't beyond the hurt.
but it's so true of what i know of you - HopefulMonster - always trying to get it right - and so literal - that carving up your own heart seems wise in your efforts to obtain that perfect happiness - true love.
and so honest - i always carry a bottle of water, but often dehydrate cause i can't seem to remember to refill it. just wonderful self awareness - and so young to have such great insight
you're one of a kind, my dear friend - and a heck of an artist -
keep up the good work

thank you for the bunch of sweet words. You really managed to boost my ego today! Funny enough I read this comment after deciding that I'll try and work in the art-department after finishing my master. Now I'll always remember this .

and here i thought you'd become a mad scientist - saving the world with some new mathmatical insite - but surly - your humor and artistic skills deserve to be nurtured in an art department -
ahhhhhhhhhhhh to be young with all those decisions ahead of you - my Mom used to tell me the world was my oyster - just waiting to hand over that shinny pearl
- i'm so pleased your considering art as a career -

It's the only thing that seems to make sense to me. Whenever I'm busy doing other stuff I feel like wasteing my time. On the other hand, whenever I manage to sit down to my drawing desk time flies and I feel really absorbed and able to think about so many things.
Science is not bad. It's just that I am not interested in it. And you should love being in the lab if you choose a career in science.
I really like the oyster-allegory. It kinda underlines the fact that everybody is able to come up with something special. Like a beautiful, shiny pearl.

even more appropriate when you realize the pearl is the oyster's way of soothing that bit of sandy irritation inside it's home.

being a Picses - i seem to have two equally strong aspects - my long career in accounting was wonderful for me - i enjoyed my time with that work and was rewarded handsomely for my efforts.

now it seems time to allow the creative side more play time - and how i do the studio when the work is going well and all the decisions seem exactly what's needed to have the world a perfect place - where color actually likes me and the ink flows and dances upon that color rather than cuting deep wedges into it. can't have that

I've never been much into planning my life in detail and freaking out about things that didn't come true the way I wanted them to. In fact, knowing what you don't want to do is a good thing as well.
