All this original DU art has inspired me!
So I thought I'd try my hand at a litte Photoshop.

14. Fucking Sweet! Funny, It Looks Sort Of Similar To One Of My Very First.
Check out the similarities. I guess the fascism just gets to us after a while!

Keep up the great work!!!

DA



A bit embarassing in execution at this point. Just found it funny how similar the theme was. I like your's a lot better!

42. Oh yes my friend! With that one piece of work you earned that title.
Now whether you can sell it is another story:P :-)
(some people don't think its art unless its sellable, I dislike them for the frauds they are.)

Seriously now that you have the bug, run with it.

Thanks again and let me know when you put up your next couple of pieces, I'd hate to miss them.

47. I would be on your side with that...
I do several media (paint, wood, sculpture and some oddities) and my best pieces are the ones that are so interpersonal that they are almost senseless to a stranger. They are also the pieces that won't sell for a long time so that I become even more attached to them, thats usually when someone with a lot more money than me wants to buy it because it matches a certain room "theme" they have been looking to "complement" for a while. lol... sometimes I sell sometimes I don't.

Funny how an artists' favorites are never the critics/consumers choice.

I especially like the burning cross on the White House & the skull under boosh's foot & best, the classic stupid expression on his stupid face!

Suggestion, sign your art work!
