Thats a really nice composition u got there. I agree with what people are saying that it's very dreamlike. The figure adds more to the composition than it might seem. Good stuff!

lovely! wish I could actually dream something like this. I always love how you set in color moods in your work like the hollow men!
this one gives me a more light-hearted feeling <3

Thanks for saying so! I don't often dream things like this, either, to be honest...maybe things that feel like this? I love dreams, though.
I also really like your work! watching now

Onda bi ti se svidjela Belgija, Nizozemska, dio Njemačke i Austrije. Čitav dio povratka nazad prema Budimpeőti vjerno su nas pratila polja tih vjetrenjača. Neke su bile stvarno ĐINOVSKE! Lajkam gdje ideő s ovim stilom.

Što Nicholas Kole zna hrvatski? Slažem se s komentarom, put prema Budimpeőti ima carske primjerke vjetrenjača.

This is such a cool and whimsical piece! I love the use of the person for size comparison, the way the eye can't help but trail left to right to left then back again, and the time it takes to do so tells a story. It's such a fun piece, it IS like music! You say you wanted to make art like music, so if I may ask, is there something specifically that inspired this?

nicholaskole In reply to iHaveAChair [2012-07-05 01:47:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for taking the time to look closely
I'm glad it's working for you- in terms of inspiration...do you mean this piece or the desire/idea to make art like music?
In general, I've been trying to figure out what inspires me and what it is I want to do- and I realized it's not the 'being clever' or 'drawing cool things' that I love about art- it's kind of the...lyrical...quality...of some art? that I like? music? musiceyness? it's hard to explain, as it turns out I want to make art that people love like I love music.
