Roots

Cliff vestergaard, about 1 year ago

COOL nice work !

Jeremy Mawson, about 1 year ago

we should plant roots that allow our inner child to soar, not those that trap us in conformity. Thanks for this!

kookylane, about 1 year ago

WOW Jeremy, you describe this better than me, thank you! Am not very articulate so I always resolve to visuals when I need to communicate something abstract, while hoping it get through.

Naomi Mawson, about 1 year ago

Jeremy does seem to have a good nack at that doesn’t he. Even though I’m his sister I am sadly lacking in articulate descriptions and like you, I rely on visuals. I really like this one.

tina tran, about 1 year ago

O! hey that looks really groovy really rebellious stuff. Makes one feel proud to be unique.

Darren Stones, about 1 year ago

What a splendid piece of art this is. Thought provoking to say the least. A+.

shanghaiwu, about 1 year ago

this is brilliant to say the least!...sorry Darren A++

kookylane, about 1 year ago

Sleepy: Yeah, its very tiring to be like other people might as well be different =P

Darren & Shanghai: Wuaahhh… thank you!! how flattering, never got A++ before LOL. and I was quite happy with B =P.

webgrrl, about 1 year ago

Love the colours in this….. very nice. would be suitable for many products i thinks.. Great jobGrrL!

Darren Stones, about 1 year ago

I’ll raise you, shanghaiwu. Make that A+++. :-)

Michael Douglass, about 1 year ago

Great work.

Craig Shillington, about 1 year ago

I love the Masculine/Feminine aspect to this too. :) And, for me there is even a hint of Industrialization in there. :) Oops. I’ll hush ;)

kookylane, about 1 year ago

Thank you again for the comment guys! And Craig feel free to interpret it however you want, that’s the nice thing about metaphors ^_ it can be whatever you want it to be!

Bridget a'Beckett, about 1 year ago

At first I just loved the image – then I looked closer and understood it’s meaning and it made my heart soar. To me this illustration is what RedBubble is all about, letting the creative child out.

Scott Robinson, about 1 year ago

Damn, how`d i miss this?...So good, so though provoking…all i like to see is in there.

craig scutt, about 1 year ago

preggers with meaning. this would make a cool epitaph.

jemimalovesbigted, about 1 year ago

Beautiful. The colours, the imagery, the message…. It all works for me.

kookylane, about 1 year ago

WAAAHHH Thanks for all the comments guys!

Also I did a colab with kathleen using this image, check it out here

dopey, about 1 year ago

Murray Newham, about 1 year ago

It would be difficult to send the message any better.

InfinityRain, about 1 year ago

I love how you’ve worked this, so many things to see and explore in one piece!

kristin diemer, about 1 year ago

This image really spoke to me – child trying to break free within the rigid structures of society.

kookylane, about 1 year ago

Thank you very much Mren, Infinity and Kdiemer, glad to know that the image was well communicated =D

Craig Shillington, about 1 year ago

Diane, about 1 year ago

Your stuff is amazing. So original. I’m still new to RB but you are definitely opening my eyes to the graphics world.

kookylane, about 1 year ago

oh wow… thanks Diane, that is sooo flattering, glad you like my works ((blush!)) =P

Melissa Holcombe, about 1 year ago

all of the above and then some – your work is amazing.

kookylane, about 1 year ago

hey Thanks Mel =D

Damian, about 1 year ago

Hi, I’m new here, but just wanted to add how much I like this image. I see where everyone has come from with their interpretations, but it sparked me in a different direction. I see the pure soul of nature being torn away for the poisoned interest of corporations. But I’m a biologist LOL.

kookylane, about 1 year ago

Good Point Damian =D and WELCOME!!
Thanks for that, yes, it can mean a lot of things depending on the person, I think I had a very vague and abstract idea of what exactly I wanted to tell, which is why it is easier to put it down as an image.

marlon, about 1 year ago

love the fact that the childs tree seems to be inverted, like it’s turning convention on it’s head… like to see more of that. very profound Kookylane! :)

Alice Robinson, about 1 year ago

I love this image, kookylane

kookylane, about 1 year ago

THank you Marlon and Alice =D
Profound eh? hohohohoh…

shygrrrl, about 1 year ago

I just adore this Kooky. So many contrasts working in unison: adulthood and childhood, dark and light, rigid and flowing, aged paper and clean fresh lines, symmetry and chaos, having roots take hold, and holding on to your roots, heavy and weightlessness, repetition and uniqueness. I just can’t look at it enough.

kookylane, about 1 year ago

OOOhhhh thank you Shygrrrl! Glad to know you like it, I LOVE your works too (but you already know that =P)

markd, about 1 year ago

Great image. To me it says ‘Don’t let the roots of conformity pull your down and restrict you – take control, see what grows, and be liberated doing so’.

Craig Shillington, about 1 year ago

Did I tell you ….....

I LOVE THIS!!!! :P :P :P VBS

kookylane, about 1 year ago

Hahaha YES man You DID!
Several times, you even got one LOL

Thanks Craig! trully appreciate it to know someone else love my baby =P

Nicole Goggins, about 1 year ago

fantatic!

Lisadee, about 1 year ago

Your work is astounding, simply love this for so many reasons, really admire this.

Dragoncat, 12 months ago

This one is different, and nice too.. reppetitive forms often find their way into art and in many instances works well, just don’t get Too carried away with that either, but this one is Great!! good work!

Bridgett Ferguson, 11 months ago

absolutely amazing work!
very surreal…i love it!
i admire your style! :)

kookylane, 11 months ago

Thank you NICOLE!

Lisadee, Plasmatwin: Oh thank you so much, how very flattering XD!!

Dragoncat: Yeah, i do like repetition, glad to know i didn’t overdo it in this one =P
Thanks for the feedback man!!

FabiaN, 11 months ago

Firedrake, 7 months ago

Wow, this is really beautiful.

coffeetea, 7 months ago

beautiful creative art!!

Jazzyjane, 7 months ago

Fantastic. Being articulate, either visually or verbally, is a gift. It gives a piece of work “wow”. You’ve got it with this one. I love it. (my work is still aiming for WOW; hope I find it.).

Maureen Bloesch, 3 months ago
