    I love the way you’ve captured human nature in this one Karsten.
    The guy who has accepted his fate, laid back.
    The business man who clambers over others to escape – the baby reaching for its mother…

    great!

    Yes it seems to be about having the latest gadgets, the best houses and cars, ignorance is bliss. How long can it last no one really knows, that it must end is inevitable. While we were busy consuming we forgot about giving.

    Definately one of my favs! I’ve got to say that a couple of the dudes in this one look somewhat like yourself…?? I love the way this painting moves in opposing directions. Definately a home run!

    And the little child is pushing them down to the drainage..
    Not as a play..
    but as an advice of what..
    can hapen..
    when children may awake and go…
    where their own reasoning demands..
    Are we scared?
    Oh…. this is magnificent…. a pice of art… of joy and terribly imaginative… and very well worked… you are an artist.
