Fragile Handle With Care

Thanks Steve, been holding onto it for a while, gonna try out a couple of more posters then revamp some of my older stuf. :) X

thanks twb! :)

thanks awd, love your images too! :)

Thanks Christie, sometimes I create light stuff, other times darker stuff, I think there’s more power to be felt in the darker work sometimes.

thanks shadowlee. :)

now that you mention it, it does! thanks blamo. :)

Oh wow… I went to sleep kinda early for a change… 2am haha! and STILL woke up late, argh! my shrink is paying a house call soon and the place is a mess!!! Thanks Tracey, I wasn’t quite sure what effect I was trying to achieve but it seems to have worked out okay. :)

thanks Wendy, I’m learning a lot of new PS skills along the way, so it’s fun experimenting with this series, even though my results never quite end up looking like the tutorials I’m trying to follow, I’m shit at following instructions! :)

Thanks Marny, a darker theme, but then I like to play with both light and dark pieces of work. :)

Thanks Dwayne, initially I think i was going for a roger rabbit kind of look, a weird blend of cartoons and realism, but I got lazy and ended up using stick figures instead! haha!

thanks Trench, I appreciate your stopping by to view and comment. :)

thanks for your thoughtful comment madvlad, I think everyone has a child who ‘doodles’ and crosses out daydreams inside themselves somewhere. ;-)

thanks charlie, sometimes I think darker themes pack more of a punch than the lighter stuff, especially when it comes to posters and image/word combos. :)

thanks Lilith, would love to know what the word ‘Wow’ is in Dutch, I don’t know about language barrier, you express yourself perfectly through your poetry and art. :)

Thanks Phil, it was fun to play around with the style and look of this one. :)

Thanks whoseenme, this looks NOTHING like the tutorial I was supposed to be following! haha, I have shit concentration so I just kind of went off on my own tangent and said screw the tutorial! Love your new avatar by the way, very sunny and sexy. ;-)

Thanks Leon, it’s a bit boring following tutorials, not that my results ever come out looking like them! hahaha, but I’m picking up a few new skills and styles along the way. :)

Like brussel sprouts? ;-)

Thanks Paul, I think darker, stronger themes work better with Posters and image/word combinations, they kind of convey a stronger message I think. :)

Thanks ffs! (hahaha, I just realised the abreviated form of your user name also stands for ‘For Fucks Sake’ LOL… appreciate your dropping by to comment. :)

thanks Shoaib, love your latest Poem and darker series, profound, powerful work! :)
psst… the background IS how I draw! haha!

Thanks Sara, I think every woman’s soul looks like this every once in a while..;-)

hahaha… well I am perpetually paranoid, so I’m not sure how I’d handle that! lol ;-)

tis fine Matt, I’ve kind of learnt how to interpret your minimalist words over time. ;-)

The way I interpret everything people say, with a smile on my face and the assumption that everyone loves me!!! ;-P

It’s really weird, yesterday someone commented on an old story I wrote and her first words were, ‘what a piece of shit!’ my initial reaction on reading it was to crack up laughing, I thought she was talking about my writing, then later realised she was referring to a character in the story… Not a lot phases me any more. :)

You’re lucky you can be so tactful, I have turets of the brain and mouth… talk now, think later! ;-)

thanks niki, oh I’m just playing around with different poster techniques and word/image combinations, it’s always fun to try out different styles. :)

thanks butchart, shit I was reading some old comments on an old post steve made yesterday about cybersex, including a comment that you made… what a crack up! it had me laughing in hysterics, how things have changed since then… ;-)
emotions suck.

thanks Niki, would like to re-do some of my old poetry to images now that I’ve learnt a few new skills, so I’ve hidden some old image/poetry combos to revisit and take a look at. :)

so true… wars in both bubble land and reality… but still alive to take on another one should the case ever arise, only a bit differently this time around… ;-) xox

that’s great to hear Niki, oh I’m just revamping some old poetry to new images, kind of rehashing the darker stuff, lol, but there’ll be more lighter stuff back again after this series. :)

But what about when you’re no longer damaged goods? do you get a new one saying ‘Repaired under warranty?’ ;-)
Thanks exposedbutloved, great username by the way. :)

oh i used to get called Emo for years, my earlier poetry was really bleak and dark, but I guess once you’ve been through the worst and managed to come through the other end of it all, you develop a ‘don’t give a shit attitude’ about stuff and tend to move on in cruise control… Or maybe it’s just called getting old? haha!
