All of you works are amazing. I can't imagine the time you have spent on the details. But I am sure you've enjoyed every min of it.

A very beautiful image! The color is light and fanciful, but the symbolism is dark, mysterious and sad. The strange yet tragic beings, caught in their own web of false reality, thatΒ you have created are extraordinary! What a wonderful creation!

Beautiful piece of work. I love your style and the detail doesn't overwhelm the picture. There are almost 2 levels, the central characters and a lot of second string characters. Great expression - the guy looking directly at you is aware of the artist while everyone else continues with life oblivious. Β  Β  Β  Β

Thanks for your observations Mike! There is really even another wispy third level that is not apparent probably except in person. Oblivious. Ah yes. I wish I had that ability!

This looks so unique and eerie in a beautiful way that I just had to stop swiping and stare for a while. The colors make it look so organic and those bizarre, random figures are really interesting. I really enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing this magnificent piece of hard work!

Me too. The older I get the more I notice that more and more people seem to be losing their individuality. Blank staring faces who listen to whoever yells the most absurd stuff.Β
