Thanks! I'm working on a series of these, so hopefully there'll be more to show shortly (including one fucking MASSIVE canvas. I just love slopping paint on massive canvases. So much fun!)

I'm really happy to see more art from you! It's amazing how much your point of view translates from digital art to acrylic...this has your name written ALL over it I would love to own this, honestly. The colors are gorgeous, the lines and perspective(s) are really innovative. Really top notch work.

I hope things are going better for you!

Thank you! Working traditional is a little weird... I think I'm probably going back to digital for a while (mainly because there's this new gallery opened in the art district which is looking for unusual stuff... and my BIL informs me nobody in town's doing anything like what I do... so I'm hoping to catch the attention of the gallery's director!)

I do have several other trad. paintings on the go, though, so hopefully will get around to taking some photos soon and showing them.

Thanks for the kind words... honestly, I'm not quite sure why everyone loves this painting so much! XD But it's interesting practice and fun to do something a bit different.

Things are going a bit better, thanks for asking! Not 100% yet, but getting there. Hope you are okay, m'dear?

NICE lines,
and the streets turn red and get darker. I'd like to see more like this, this one seems to have something the others might be hiding.

Thank you! This is probably the first in a series of similar images. I'm working on a second (which is kinda huge) and have prepped for at least two others. Just need the time to get on with it.

I love this! I can see why it sold - I'd wanna buy it too. I'd love to hear your own thoughts on why you did this and what it meant to you.

It's the first foray into a series of images that deal with immigration. I moved from a tiny cathedral city in the south of England to a large, industrial city that oil built in the midwest of America. I thought dealing with the difference in environment would be one of the easiest things to overcome - bizarrely, it's been one of the hardest.

The lefthand side of the painting is my birth place, whereas the right is the Brady district of Tulsa, where I live now. I can't help but constantly compare the two, and get very homesick for my home town; but I live here now, and I love it here... for very different reasons. (I've compared moving over here to being like wearing a long-wanted, very beautiful pair of shoes that are three sizes too big; I love them, but they don't fit!) I'm as alien to this environment as it is to me; and even after two years of living here, it still feels very odd.

So that's what it's about to me. I'm not sure what other people take from it... which is why I'd've loved to speak to the person who bought it! (Sadly, I did not get the opportunity!)

That's really interesting!

I've always considered my real "home" to be here in my computer. When I moved halfway across the world, the change in environment didn't bother me so much because no matter where I go, the internet's the same. I don't notice the actual change in city or climate as much as the change in the people and feelings around me. Maybe I should also try putting my feelings into art. Yay inspiration!

I like your shoes comparison!

Yeah that's too bad you couldn't talk to the person who bought it.

zomg! Hello!!! I haven't heard from you for ages! Howsit going? Glad to hear this piece sold... and as it should be, too, it's gorgeous!

Thank you! I'm doing pretty good. There's another show coming up which hopefully I can be included in... it was a bit annoying, actually; I was talking to the Director (of something important) and showing him my work, and he had to dash off because the smoke machine set off the fire alarm...! Gah! But still. There's a thing coming up which concentrates on innovation, which apparently my digital work would do well in. Wish I'd been able to talk to him for longer...! But I'm sure I'll bump into him again. So it's all going pretty good!

How're you?
