i found ya on twenty... fantastic gallery!
this piece caught my attention prolly just cause i like rectangs.. excuse me for being dull but the composition is so so good...
and also the quote in the description goes with it so so well. strenght of birocracy (sp!?) was always frightening.. no matter who is the person behind the act.

Saw this in Jason's fav's
Absloutley gorgeous, I love the layout and the layering.
Unfortunately I'm using a computer with a hideousley tiny screen, so I'm working my way round a 750 x 832 picture as if it's a mamoth sized canvas, finding my way around this beautifully textured landscape that you've made.
The contrast between the writing and the printed text is quite striking, espically where the tracing paper's lying on top of the newspaper.
The torn edges with the straight red lines as 03's pointed out.....
I could go on typing... but I'll print this out and tape it to my wall... and now I'll shut up & enjoy.

Out of your new series, this is the one I like best.
I don't really know why though. Maybe it's the attempt at structure in such a chaotic piece. The 3 black strokes and the 2 red lines. I don't know there's just something about them.

1) did you think that i forgot to comment on this one? oh no no no. i was just biding my time. actually, that's not totally true, it's more like i'm still hung over from halloween drinking, and passed out multiple times yesterday and today, never being awake enough to leave a worthwhile comment, much like now, but i've let it go long enough i think.
2) really successful composition, and i think the torn red lines look even better than no red lines would have looked. because it allows the viewer to fully appreciate your hatred for those damn red lines.

Good idea taking away the red lines. They kind of say "hey, look at me" but really there's no reason to. Or something.
