yeah its nice. BUT, everyone in there is skinny. Which also somewhat goes with what everyone else thinks is beautiful, which is a size 0. Although I do like what you are implying, and the picture is nice.

This is so amazing! I love the message that you're sending. Just a small thing that bothers me: Shouldn't it be Everybody's Beautiful, not Everybodies. Maybe that's intentional, but just pointing it out. Anyway, great job.

Yes but even if you used the correct grammar the pun would still stand, but never mind.

Woah, that's amazing. Great idea too, it's very sad that advatisers dictate to us what they think should make us happy.
I can't believe this is traditional art too, it's flawless.

There's a lot of thinking brought up by this. And it's full of detail and interesting to look at

And here I thought your 50's Future oil would be the most mind-blowing piece in your gallery for my own personal tastes; it most certainly has a seriously contender in this piece!
Your ability to create such hugely detailed and multi-faceted scenes while still preserving an uncluttered aesthetic and conveying a simplistic and direct message leaves me in absolute awe.
I would love to know when you created this image, as it seems to elicit a late 80's/early 90's feel, especially in the fashion of the various carbon copy mannequins. I see you've been in this game a fair while, so it increases my interest in your work to be able to view your evolution, particularly in terms of your progression in parallel to western culture.
I adore your perfect expression of an idea in this instance, especially as I too intend to express similar ideas within my own work - though on an ever so slightly more subtle (in some ways) and ironic level; you may have noticed...
I'm so very pleased to have made your acquaintance and viewed your works; I doubt this will be the last verbose commentary I leave on your work

Wonderful and scary at the same time. Great bright colors. In a world like this the ugly would be the pretty ones.

thanks Nicklas,
"In a world like this the ugly would be the pretty ones" Exactly what I was first thinking when realizing this very idea, ... i even thought of placing two very normal people in the painting - but opted not to

I have no clue what to describe this as. I obviously dont need to tell you that its a very sad and realistic portrayal. most people look about exactly the same to me as its is, so this is also a rather scary painting. the fact that this is so close to the truth about 'advanced' societies can only bring me to as close to a conclusion as this:
your painting is wonderfully disgusting

thanks - nice 2 hear from someone that "gets it"
What's really disgusting is to what lengths people will under-go to become what they think is Beautiful
wonderfully weird AND
wonderfully true

I guess Professor Monroe's quote from 'Cannibal Holocaust' could be loosly applied here:
'I wonder who the real cannibals are'

This is beautiful. It's horrible that people constantly feel the need to change themselves.

No prob -- the painting is great! I love the wit and energy with which you convey your message. I recently posted a photo in my gallery (Bebe ED) with a somewhat related theme.

Everybody being beautiful sure is creepy.. o__o
I have no idea why, but the first thing the people in this picture reminded me of was the Oscar Award statue. 
That could be symbolic, even, of how we try to attain this statuesque beauty as if it is a trophy of some sort, right?
Either way, I really enjoy this picture. It makes me appreciate that there is such variety in people. ^__^
