I went back and looked. I see the hat plain as day now. It looked like wild hair, but relooking at it I don't see how I saw hair! Sorry Kirby. It still looks great.

Hey don't you guys know what grass looks like?? He has grass growing out of his head. IF it IS a hat it is one of those made from palm fronds but I still sat grass.HaHaHa
He is looking cool either way, no matter what you put on his head.

her is a new piece im workin on its not quit finished but i thought id post it...on my way to 1000
I call it "virgin sacrifice"

H
hewey posted on Mon, Jan 30, 2006 9:37 PM

Cool man - thats a cool idea!

With those lips and those heels , I dont think she is no virgin. None the less she is smoking and the painting is kick ass.

Wow ! What would one get for a sacrifice like that ? The possibilities are endless! Great art with a real message!

J

Sweeeeet! You could do a whole series on that theme.
JP

T

Which theme, virgins or sacrificed things. Yeah series are always cool and easy to do

B

Kirby, you never cease to amaze me. Your art has grown so, and this one is really awesome. Thanks again for posting your 500th post in my thread, it was thoughtful. Keep up the great work.
