SAM! ~ Yes, you CAN see them in all cat's eyes if you gaze into them long enough. Like when you wake up in the middle of the night, and you can see them mere inches away from your face as the cat is laying on your chest watching you sleep. Suburbanpagan~ Big Mahalo! I appreciate your very kind words.. it's really nice to hear validation like this. Bigbrrotiki~ Oh my Aurora Model kit Brother! My thanks for your thoughts. I too was hiking to the hobby store with allowance money in my pocket - but in the wilds of Nebraska. teaKEY~ Thanks for the heads up on the new Mark Ryden work. I just got his Tree Show book, and the book that's all in Japanese. The Snow Yak Show is very strange and beautiful - as is all Ryden's work! Yes, Mark would put in a dead bird. And a naked nine year old girl. And an old toy animal. And thanks to both of you for the considerations. I did think of doing two versions. Paint in the dead bird - have the painting scanned in for prints. Then paint out the dead bird and have it scanned again for a second "G-rated" version of prints. It's a strange idea, who's strangeness alone makes it appealing to me. However, I'm not sure if I can sustain the creative thrust on this long enough to do all that. It's almost done, if I don't paint in the bird. Perhaps I finish, go on to the next one, then I can always come back and paint in that bird after I sold some prints. Other news - I submitted to SPECTRUM: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art again this year. I submitted five pieces and one got excepted into the competition, and thus will make it into the book! Yippee! What got in? "Bela Lugosi has a Zombie" Robb Hamel ~ Thanks Robb, glad to creep you out! Here's the bit more... almost done... Drink, and whiskers, and ground... Oh yeah, Show 69 of Cocktail Nation is called "Diga Diga Doo"! You can listen to me a Koop talk about that piece a bit. http://www.cocktailnation.net/ B~ [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2009-04-14 11:31 ]
