Beauty Is Pain

Love it,,, and the concept is brilliant,,,, loving your work,,, well done

Great work and great story again!!!!!!

Fantastic photo and manipulation – the texture is marvelous and the image has an overall 3D feel – beautifully rendered…

Great image, great statement.

Great gallery. Keep it up!
:-)

very powerful statement Beauty Is Pain to SEE or not see in this case – very strong image well done

very powerful image Ash – excellent work.

OMG, freaking Awesome.

Your work is like a still life from every TOOL filmclip, Ash!

Tool are the new Pink Floyd.

You should see TOOL live in concert.

Their filmclips make me grin like a child

Nope, never heard of them.

I dont mind APC, seen them live too.

Its such dark twisted music. Heavy metal with classical influence.

Thanx, I will look for it.

I only have 1 TOOL CD. – “10,000 Days.”

Did you know that you still can not buy their filmclips on DVD?

My life wont be complete until they release their filmclips!

I just want their filmclips.

wanna wanna wanna!

Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that you like Maynard.

I have also discovered the joys of NINE INCHE NAILS. If you like them, get the North American Winter & Summer Tour DVD.

Freaking awesome.

RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS is such a great song.

and does anything need to be said about CLOSER that hasn’t been said before?

This is absolutely f’ing fantastic, great concept, great composition, brilliant execution. Well done.

Stunning image and great concept!

Fantastic editing…... great work!!
Love the textures

very strong and powerful pic.love it .:)

wow!...powerful image…like the concept…very well done

Dreary yet wonderful stuff. Tell us where you’re coming from. Rich kid in rebellion or trailer blew away?

Great image!

GREAT

neat render…..the ” olay” pond gets shallower by the day!

very impressive !!!

Powerful image, I think I would prefer it without the text, but then that is a personal preference. I don’t tend to like text on images.

love the textures involved

Fantastic!!

very professional, great work in the portfolio too. Excellent message, you’ll do well!

OWWWW. This would work so so great as a poster for, well, some anti-plastic surgery group lol. You should hang them up outside those places. I feel it.

wow these are really impressive..

Good image. Reminds me of Silent Hill.

True, but sometimes it can make people feel a little more confident….....some people are born with horrific abnormalities…...I have personnal experience with “Cranio maxio/facial” unit, they work wonders…...but really, underlying it all, it’s a very poignant message, society needs the facelift…..nice work Ash!!!

Beautiful! Impactante! Magnifico! Encantador!

Wow…........this is true on so many levels…..........even if your are blessed with beauty naturally….......there is pain with that as well….......like perhaps thats the only reason why some people might want you….......might maybe even tell lies to get you…......assuming thats all that matters…...........beauty whether real or superficially imposed is only skin deep !!!!!

Wow, very powerful and excellent work.

This is real art. I raise my hat!!!!

Nice work very interesting..gina

i love that..

Yeah you are right some people thinkin about it but sometimes it went wrong!! awsome pic

As the father of one who almost died from an eating disorder--this image carries a great multitude of truths and honesty-your mastery is humbling my dear. We are living in the most absurd of times-you and your wonderful work—challenge this flush of the human toilet. We are all SOOOO much more than “meats” the eye.

I love the message you are sending here! This is something the whole world needs to see, maybe that will help us all change.

great conceptual work!

hits home right on the button, awesome image

ash this is great work, SO TRUE

To counter-act societys prejudice!!!.....that is, when it’s vanity….thats different. This you already know.

oNCE HAD A psychologically ill patient tell me this….....great depiction of the depression and horror associated with mental illness.

woow (:

aIf you like the games you’re missing out. If only Sean Bean wasn’t in it with his really bad American accent shouting “Wose!” Lol.

Hoppefully you’ll enjoy :)
“Wose!” :p

Ash, everytime I see your work, I think..”yeah..this is my fave”, then you post another, and I say it again. Your work is an inspiration. Your eye is awesome.Your mind is amazing. Well done!!

Powerful! Well done.

great concept Ash….wow wow and Wow…you have wonderful ideas….well done my friend,well done.

thank you so much.. so much i want to say about this topic (beauty, self esteem, peoples perceptions, society’s need for love, acceptance that’s gotten soooo twisted with looks and sexual attraction + wealth of course..).. but i never know where to start..so it all swirls in my mind & soul..

Just perfect my friend.
Perfect.

I like the idea of presenting redbubble work also outside of this community….

strong work, AWESOME

Awesome work!

Awesome image with a very poignant message. Well done!
Many people today look towards the quick fix or the external/phyiscal answer without even considering the emotional state. Many of the people who have self esteem issues (Im one of them) have so due to external pressures. In a way the quick fix is masking the problem without actually addessing it. I’d be interested to know the stats on how many people go back for more surgery after their first.
Although I do think that cosmetic surgery has its place in extreme cases.

Ash, as you know this is one of my favorite images you have made. It needs to be said…
have you ever read Antonin Artaud’s work? He coined the term: Theater of Cruelty.
Check out his travel journals to The Land of the Tarahumara… or the poem: Return of Artaud the Momo.
keep up the great work.

ASH ~ my new phone number is 360-378-7191… I am excited to hear of your ideas!

Fantastic concept and execution.

This is outstanding in both the image and the witing youve done. Instant favourite

This is really outstanding (like madworld said) – I have no words xxx

This is amazing<3>

WOW!!!!! Amazing work!!!!
