i love it!!!! you have great talent and great ideas to back it up. i love how you take these deeply emotional scenes and insert the archetypal, comical skeleton. such a great idea. you rock! i was starting to lose hope in other artists!

5 stars, hands down. I love artist a day dot com and I love an artist that makes me go to their website, stare at their work for as long as it takes, google their name, etc. This is what it’s all about. I love these vanitas paintings, it’s like the first time all over again. 5 stars.

The television image really expressed to me how much of our lives some people waste simply watching rather than doing.

There’s something…Edward Hopper-y about the paintings. And melancholic.

Very nice color. Anatomically correct skels. The warmth and intensity of the color balances the cuteness and brings a unique quality.

My kind of guy. The mortality in all of us. Great settings.
Comment by RSadler — August 7, 2008
Whoa. I love this.
Usually I would find skeletons morbid or too dark, but this is just right.
Great shadowing, too.
One of my new favorite artists.

How creative and whimsical is this? I love the background and the idea of using the nowhere man image to convey a message. Kudos!!! Check me out sometime and help me to improve my creativity!
