142 - VARIATION ON HOKUSAI'S WAVES (INK - 1987)

I love it. Great use of pattern. Hokusai with an edge.

Beautiful, hypnotizing drawing. I like the fine, little patterns in the waves and the contrast with the white foam.

Excellent Dave

always looking forward to see what you’re going to add next.
A lot of talent my friend :)

GASP! I love it! You’ve taken a classic piece and made it even better! It’s always exciting to see how you will next choose to incorporate texture in your work… You’re like the master of texture!

Nice creative work there Dave!

For this drawing to receive acknowledgment from a lady of Japanese descent is a great compliment. I feel honoured. Many thanks. I love old Japanese art (and some modern Japanese art too) and this is my way of paying tribute to a great artist – Hokusai.

Awsome!

THANKS DAVE O!!!!!! reminds me of christmas

I am a big black and white fan – love the repetition of pattern in this – it gives it real depth

Don’t mind at all, this is cool.

this is great! nice personal touch ;)

I’m intrigued by your drawing…love the details!

He loved shapes and patterns so would have loved this too. I certainly do!

I love Hokusai too and often play around with the wave theme, love this, well done!

Awesome, love your geometric approach here, it works really well!

very creative work, just excellent

Wonderful image!

This is fantastic, excellent use of shapes and light n dark!

adore the sky, like a psycadelic sunset

i love coming back to your art gallery- a different piece jumps out and grabs me every time today it’s this one. i am a huge fan of Hokusai’s work, and it’s great to see interpretations and other inspired pieces. my “wave” painting owes credit his works as well.
keep up the good work.

Simply just great, its a pleasure to see your work.

Love this! I have recently thought of appropriating Hokusai’s wave for my own bent.

This is brilliant. i love the original its one of my all time faves.

Bravo Dave – had to google the title to see the original wave – I thought I knew it! lol
Yep you have done a very interesting interpretation of it with the geometric sky and the almost Lino print looking wave!
Bravo! ♥

wow – mind-bending sky gives motion to the ocean

perfection Dave ,superb ,love your works .

Fantastic work Dave, it does have a the quality of a Japanese print, and at the same time very much identifiable as your work. And congratulations on making the homepage!

yahoo!

I checked Shone Knife, and found it is just noise for me. i love classical music too. i am listening to it all time when i am painting. i love folk song too. i often blow “green sleaves” with my harmonica. i can play many English folk songs.

wow fabulous ink wave drawing Dave!! when did u load this? as it did not appear on my monitor? I came to see what you were up to as not seen any work off you lately….bubble is having trouble at the moment with doubleups and reloads of old paintings …my driftwood and early bird loaded itself again yesterday on its own!!! and some people commented on it that had not seen it before even tho. it was put up ages ago. hope they fix the prob. soon. love this drawing!! so much detail and great angles…a fav.

oh I like to keep an eye on the artists work I enjoy and am following…you being one of them of course! :-D
