darkestartist replied
thanks. my daughter is four, and she titled it. i asked her what it looked like, and she said, this is a balloon when it pops. lol. i couldn’t think of a better title so here it is :)
LostBoy
it looks so layered and textured..fantastic.
darkestartist replied
thanks, LostBoy, I am glad you liked it :)
LostBoy
i thought maybe it was the fire of your elemantal series till i had a closer look.
darkestartist replied
yeah this one was kind of a red-headed stepchild to the Elemental series….it wanted to fit in but it just didn’t lol.
LostBoy
hehe i like the way you put that :) do you exhibit your work?
darkestartist replied
lol :) thanks…i haven’t yet, but i plan to soon…any advice?
LostBoy
No unfortunately…but a couple of people i know that have…they`ve been a bit disapointed.
i would say all art is desirable to the right person…if i ever exhibit i`ll take it as a learning experience and not expect much if anything…and hopefully i`ll be pleasantly surprised ;)
darkestartist replied
yeah same here…a lot of galleries will probably shy away from my political pieces, but stuff like this seems more accessible…we’ll see. good luck to you LB :)
Steven Novak
Fantastic piece of work. The reds are amazing.
darkestartist replied
thanks, Steven :)

This could mean so many things
equally I believe that this piece is also mood dependent
in that you will get some new meaning and message from this with each fresh visit
Amazing!
darkestartist replied
I know, I love the different interpretations this one gets, and you are very right, it is very mood dependent. thanks for the comment, Toasted.
Shanina Conway

It has such drama – I see angry faces and beastly characters. Great work! xxx
darkestartist replied

You know you’re completely and utterly insane, right? (Of course, that’s a compliment.) Awesome texture, to boot. It almost looks like some sort of topographical map …
darkestartist replied
i absolutely take it as a compliment from you ;) thanks for the fav…i am glad you like it!
