Yeeeehaaaaaa

Yep – it works for me.

Yes, very well done. Love it. Thumbs up.

I want the Millenium Falcon !

very clever indeed, Mr Godfrey… and sooo you!

I was so hoping you`d do something Sci-fi, You`ve made my day!

Thanks kind people. James, yours will be with you as soon as I can licence them with the RTA. They claim they haven’t got the facilities to charge for sky-parking yet :) Glad to have made your Monday Resisto- good if the week starts well. Happy creating all

Sweet. Looks real too :) Reminds me a little of Douglas Adam’s Hitch Hikers where bored (alien) uni students do stunts like this on unsuspecting planets.

Your artworks are absolutely awesome, played with various mediums myself years ago, favourite being pastels…never got to anywhere near this brilliant tho!!! Would love you to upload a pelican one…I’ve taken hundreds of images of pelicans, wonderful characters!!

COOL !

hahaha ha

love your work!

Ahhhh …. Cool as!

Thanks good people – my ego is glowing with all this warm fuzzy feedback. Stephen, I have not yet read the book or seen the movie -how crazy is that. I will have to make an effort now -it’s a sign :). Praise indeed, Veronique, many thanks. I have done a couple of pastel Pelicans but because the Saints Gallery wants to sell them I thought I had better stay away from the print thing. They are on my website if you want to sneek a peek – http://www.tomgodfrey.com. Thanks also Cliff, Meanderthal(it had the same effect on me when I finished it :) chantelle and museumofdirt – I must read your bio, to see if you explain your name.

krispy kreme to the rescue!

Awesome, I love the whole 50’s era sci-fi feel to your work.

love the way that it has movment and perspective..

Thanks people. I was born in the early 50’s so I guess the programming is there :) I tried hard to get a sense of movement and perspective, so it’s good to know it worked for you lawrylove

Wow, that’s got a real feel of fun and speed!

Tom, this is such a fantastic image. I love it.

That’s brilliant!!

Wonderful – such attention to detail here.

This is friggin’ awesome, I always new martians would visit Melbourne.

Outstanding work, as Flamejob mentioned – attention to detail – just a great shot.

thanks for the visit and the kind comments people.

Well that’s just great, now everybody knows!
Seriously, good work!

Oh, yes… so logical.

Cool

Sorry Brett, but I didn’t want to wait until my death bed to reveal :) Thanks guys -cool comments

Great artistry!

wow – v. clever!

Very creative, I love it!!!!

creative!!

You did a wonderful job on creating life like UFO (people who have believed they’ve seen with their own eyes before. . ) This is remarkable and I love it!

I don’t see the NSW number plate Tom!

Great work Tom. Love your stuff. Truly inspiring.

Thanks bubble friends, your comments inspire me. How did you know they were from Neutron Star West, Gregoryno6? :)

Nice one Tom. You’ve definately found a new calling in this style

Thanks Troy -one of the reasons I’ve been neglecting life drawing with you guys :)

What an awesome piece of work, love it..

I like it!

the people of Melbourne ( I’m pretty sure that’s melbourne) must’ve thought their e’s got mixed up with their lsd.

...the girl at the local take away assures me there’s so much more drug taking in Melbourne!? I thought it was laughable…but here’s proof!

just kidding, ok!

talent recognized where credit is due.

Incredibly done. This is fantastic. Great job.

A wild ride for sure. Nice job.

Your art’s sure looing good Tom, just thought I’d drop in!

Freda

Thanks Pehpsi and Sunset :) – yeh well I’m from Sydney so I’m safe :) Thanks too Jeff Holly and Freda- a little better than my life drawings hopefully :)

How cool is this. Love it. The titles a scream. Did I mention I love this..

thanks tonilouise -I’m glad it tickles your funnybone :)

Superb!!! Excellent colours, composition, and reflections. Great work!

Fantastic, Yes I have the pilot from yeeeehaaaaa

thanks Torfinn, much appreciated. Shane, once he is well again please send him over. The other guy wants to go home now :)

Cool! Can I book a flight?

Richard Branson has taken over the franchise – Virgin Inter-galactic, so I’ll see if I can pull a few strings and get you on the next one out to Orion’s belt, I hear it’s nice there this time of year :)

hahahaha!!! wow – I wonder if aliens really DO have that much fun… if so, I think they’d like this!

completely in love with your entire portfolio, Tom! encore!!!

photoshoped… much? :)

great image

A bit intergalactic ferris bueller’s day off, from your description!

Fantastic!

Great work!!! But isn’t this flying in a no fly zone?:)

Didn’t see that last time I was ther! Great image! Brilliantly done, too.

Love this image, ‘The truth is Out There”....

You are a god.

Cool, I still love this… I dont see my previous comment anymore, Im sure I commented it before though…

The title is the clincher. I love it.

Wow! what excellent feedback to come home to, thanks people. Thanks DoctorJ. I reckon if they are more advanced than us, they will have passed the dangerous ”...little knowledge is dangerous.” phase and thus avoided nuclear devastation and they must surely have recognised the value of humour and fun. Survival, just for its own sake, doesn’t sound like much of a reason to be alive. :) Jessica, photoshopped? not at all -Corelled actually :). Jokes aside the original photo was donated by a member and we were challenged to come up with something. I sliced oval sections from the water then placed them in the sky, after that it was just a case of drawing onto it, imagining reflected colour etc then copying and inverting for the craft reflected in the water. Finally I blurred the area likely to be affected by exhaust heat haze. Took me a whole weekend though :)

thanks also Michael Charlotte and Derid- no fly zone, LOL. I did say they were rogue pilots :) thanks also Trifle and Jewd, so, you know then :) Maximillian- wow! not even my wife ever said that, to me at least :) – my mortal self gives you thanks.Finally, thanks Christiaan and Kimbaross, the title only occurred to me once it was all finished. I like to think it’s just how I would have responded.

I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!

Dang – i wish i could take that ride! Brilliant.

The reflection is perfect!

FANTASTIC!!!!! what a wonderful image!!

Very well done!!!

I like this story…

Classic image. I know that area so well having spent many a Friday night at the Bear Brass cafe.

Excellent work of art Tom! Keep up thwe good work!

Love it :)

Excellent work of art! Congrats and more power!

Nice mix of the Real with the Imagined.

Those are awesome, thanks for joining!!

grwat work appropriate title just love it

Stunning work

WOOHOOOOOOO!

Great work! I want to go for a ride!

Sure beats taking the train to work.

I have a cartoon I saved that is this same concept and name. I love IT. I’ve saved it on my wall for YEARS. Good job.

wow this is Awesome

fantastic !

I KNEW Melbourne was full of aliens!! how else would the barristers know how to such make good coffee :)

I love this – such painstaking attention to detail. Really beautiful work.

This is great Tom, cant wait to see the return journey, perhaps with a skim along the water !!!!

Definately amazing work!!!!!!!!!!

what speed is it doing Tom?

30,000 eh, hmmm and then they put it into 2nd gear. lol

Nice artwork, I love your style!

Thanks Forest Friend

I LOVE THIS!!!!

I am always sayiong mother ship, come take me home….

hehe….you have a new fan : )

I need one of these saucers, where can I get one :-).

This shot is wild – I LOVE it!

ha!

Amazing!!

Awesome treatment

This is absolutely stunning work. Love te clarity of details, colors and reflection in the water. Futuristic elements are wonderful. This is an instant favorite for me.

My pleasure!

That’s my ship !

P.S. Its a b**r to find parking.

I love this – I automatically winced as I imagined the sound and speed of that thing tearing through what looks like a nice respectable well ordered community. That will have had a few folk choking on their evening meals and cocktails. Good work. K

Thanks mum of Blurt – I was trying to get the sensation of speed and I’m glad to know you picked that up. I like your imagination -picturing the folk choking on meals and cocktails. :) cheers

I wish they would show up and prove themselves to be time travelers and NOT little green men. Either way, nice picture…

Ha ha you won space2008comp with it - brilliant - well done!

Wow, I love it! Reminds me of Gary Larson’s—author of the Far Side comics—comics; he has a panel similar to this. It must be a tough life living in Area 51.

Your welcome.

Fabulous stuff!! Great work.

When I saw this, with the title, I just started laughing. Good job!

Fantastic!!

I need the direct link to your entry in the Editing Mayhem challenge. I accidentally scrolled past it, and need the link to get to it. I tried to page through the rest of the entries to get back to the beginning, but that didn’t work.

Unfortunately no. Their new voting set up isn’t working right. It skipped over several entries, and when I tried to go back, I couldn’t. Need you to go to the challenge, check what the link to YOUR entry is. That’s the one I need, and am hoping will let me vote for yours. If not, It’s gonna be a write in.

Awesome

Wow so awesome!!!!!

fantastic

merciful zeus this is superb

Excuse me, Sir, do you know how fast you were going? Very cool, love the dual contrail flight path!!

I love your work ..and this is wonderful and amazing..
I love the whole UFO thing..I’m right into it – after witnessing one in 1993 with 6 other people..we all saw it ..!!! It wasn’t like this one that you’ve created here but was an orange ball of glowing light that could zig zag in an amazing way and speed .it had strange movements..so I’m thinking that there could be some in our skies that aren’t made here on earth..maybe..??

anyway ..just to say again..you’re art is very wonderful!!!

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this

cool !

Fantastic image…..

wonderful. hilarious title.

This image reminds me of the Gerry Anderson’s television series UFO. When I was a kid I was keen on this series…
The flying object depicted in this image is very similar to the one I was used to watch on tv.
This is a moving surprise…Thanks!!!

great image tom

WOW what an excellent image you’ve composed! ;0)

Your work rocks – I love this one particularly.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!

This work is the reflection of what’s in my head and what I CANNOT PUT on paper! No matterhow: in pencil, pastel, oil-I cannot materialize iy on paper! That’s why I say:This is Cool Art work!

WOW….JUST AMAZING….Beautiful Detail and WORK here!! LOVE it!

Wow, awesome work mate !

this is awesome! love the reflection and detail! the colours are superb!
awesome work!!

you should check out some of my work

Awesome work!

Excellent work Tom….Love it…

This is brilliant!! Aliens are always welcome… its only in the movies that they’re violent universe dominators! Usually fantastic movies, but I reckon they’d be more peace loving than that in real life :D

I reckon these guys would have been slowing down to a hover, so they could wait for the apprentice that went to get the coffees.

Brilliant! What a great image. I shall never look at that location quite the same again:) A perfect title too!

Outstanding… but I’ve come to expect that from you… : )
