Wow that's pretty cool and creepy lol. But that's what kind of look tarot cards should have I guess lol.

well yes, your work is of quite noticable influence in many pieces, however; without influence we have nothing.

An idea is only as good as it's resulting form. If you can't portray an idea in an accurate way while adding something new and different, both the idea and creativity are gone.

Don't worry about them

I like it, well done. Not too sure i have alot to speak about it. No problems except...Im not too fond of the blurriness; a gradual fade would perhaps look nicer. ?.

People just enjoy bagging things they can't create. I appreciate your support

wow this is so great. know why? bc it looks nearly exactly like manson's devil card that he printed in his album sleeve and on a poster for holywood. yet you didnt give him an ounce of credit in your description. nice one. keep up the good work

I'm fully aware of the similiarities between this card and PR Brown/Manson's card. There are obvious connections, and obvious changes. I think it's funny that little twats like you feel the need to leave a comment on my work just to state how I didn't 'give credit' in my description. Since when does art and reference require a note of influence? The very man you are talking about how I 'ripped off' does the exact same thing with a variety of artists. Does he feel the need to point out every influence or reference in his work? NO! Even better yet, when the sources of his work is uncovered, it's ok then, right? Spare me.

I would never deny the fact that I was inspired by their collaborative card, but I took it upon myself to make changes and there are obvious things that are very different. I find this all especially funny coming from a guy who even dresses and does his makeup like Manson. Pathetic. Now go fuck yourself, you wannabe, jealous little bitch.

Oh, and just so you know - Don't talk to me about Marilyn Manson boy, I'm an admin at the largest Manson site to exist (www.mansonusa.com). You don't know shit.

You do have amazing skills all around not just in your collages but in the painting and add effects on photoshop. Wow. The children are a nice touch, symbolic of lost youth? I like the two moons light and dark and the goats head... who could look past that, that's just a cool idea lol. I love the smoke on the bottom also. You're an amazing artist. Keep it up.

the symbology in this is terrific

the use of cildren around his legs instead of the usual naked male and female is an evocative touch

well done

love it all, exspecially the news paper clippings, the demoinc looking childre (especially the one hanging on his right side) and the overall "burnt" feel to it.

:blink" can you imagine anyone using a set of tarot cards this big?

wow...not quite sure what to think of it. Artistically it's amazingly good....kinda scares me though...and I think of a woman with pale skin an no eyebrows when I think of the devil....that was a really good movie...
