Ode to Man

Thanks Shanina :) Its a strange feeling putting your ‘self’ out there (as you may have experienced with your beautiful selportrait) – in fact I was about to take it off…then I found myself on the homepage! This is reflection and projection and so simultaneously…not me. Thanks for your cool comment. It would have felt weird to get nothing :)

Yes it is hard to be objective when it’s your own image. I almost pulled mine but t people started commenting;) At least yours in pretty cool, I was playing silly dressups lol!

Hey Robert I’ve just updated the tools and plugins with 3D links so you might want to check it out.

Great portrait!! yee haa!!

Hehe…thanks Deborah.
And thanks too Shanina. I will have a look at your posting. Of course there are no dress ups involved with this portrait at all – this is how I get around town ;).

If you’d like to see where the inspiration comes from check out www.flagmania.com. I was a member of this performance group till recently and we had some great gigs….enjoy. Check the YouTube vids of 10 Inches and Butterfly – not the best quality but gives you a taste.

Takes my breathe away.

Ahhh ;)
Hey buddy

Hey Mr ;-)

Do you mean flagmania.org?

Um yeah bugga www.flagmania.org – cheers

Hey Robert, I do have diva inclinations so it really appeals to me lol!
Looks stunning…are you the guy in the middle at the back…I’m surprised you’ve no pics of it here.

We’ll sign you up :) Im the guy in the middle at the front. Got a few pics on file but they are really dodgy quality. Been trying to scale up the quality a bit since – still not good but on the way. Might post a couple for a day or so just for fun. Thats great that you checked it out :)

I agree – awesome portrait… Love the way you have handled the colour here!

This looks like it should be on the cover of ‘The Face” or ” Vogue”
Quite unique
Well done Robert

You have such presence and you’re so photogenic, you just ooze personality.
If i could paint i would love to paint you.

Wow. Thanks team. Paul this was the colouring I needed to roughen it up a bit. Danny sign me up ;) Leia what a great comment. I’m afraid I may probably be disappointing in real life ;P hehe. Thanks for such positive feedback – as I said its a weird thing putting yourself out there.

Hey Robert, cool pic, I’m glad you left it up.

Oh stop being modest, you’re a looker.

Ha! Why thanks Leia :) I was just alluding to how photos can project you as opposed to the reality. But I like your style. Now where’s that paint .)

You’re a brave man Robert, and you’ve done it well. Great portrait! I have to agree with Leia – personality plus!

Gee thanks heaps Whirli.
