Hey.

Today's is of a paradox I thought up during a nap:

"023 Untouched Tree"


Posted Image


"Imagine a tree that has never touched or been touched by anything for its entire existence, even in seed form. This is a paradox similar to the creation of God paradox."

The chimera and the tree are my favorites so far, I think.

Nice drawings man. Another way to see the paradox of an untouched tree is to consider this: "a seed that is never being touched or influenced by anything in its existence will forever remain a seed". Think about it... it can be applied to a lot of things in your surroundings (even diablo 3) ^^

I like you project and  your style. So far, piggies & chimera were the most striking, but you have a talent for making small, casual pictures seem very intense. Get a wacom cintiq when you can afford it.

Thanks for the compliments! They make me very happy.

I try not to be too serious with the content, yet at the same time create something at least a little thought provoking. Art is better that way, in my opinion.
There are many, many more to come.

You are very right.
Sometimes people grow up in isolated places and are not very connected with the outside world. Only when a person starts to explore the outside, whole world, growth happens.

I'm currently using a Bamboo Splash tablet (small version) with Adobe Illustrator CS6 and I love it.
The Wacom Cintiq looks impressive and I would like to give it a try, but I really like the ability to see the whole image I'm working on with a tablet (not get my hand in the way while drawing).

Why is it that every depiction of a man pissing on a wall has that same man putting his hand up on the wall? Who in their right mind wants to touch any part of a public restroom?

Just as the Scorpion hunts...

That's a good question. I have never done it and have no desire to try it out.
In this case, though, it's appropriate because of an alcohol-induced dizziness.


Today's goes out to all the students out there already experiencing the beginning of the next battle:

To be brutally honest at first I didn't like your drawings, but as I kept looking through them I started to like them more and more! Great art works, I love them all.

Thank you!
Yeah, I'm not trying to be a really detailed, profound artist with these by any means. At most, I think they're doodles that can be a little thought provoking and/or entertaining to look at.

Here's today's:
