I love it. Such Imagination on such a HUGE canvas!! I think I like this Alice better.
I love the detail. And they deserve wings, one because they are angels, really big angels. And two, they would help them escape from man, I wish. Unfortunately, no animal on Earth is safe from humans. Not even other humans. But, it is a beautiful painting.
I bet that some children will remember this one 'til the day they die!
That is so cool. Looks like a very secretive meeting. Look at the details on the face on the right. Perfect bone structure. Love It!!!!
This would totally trip me out if I was walking along and stumbled upon it. Cool.
I love this. The imagination it took, and the attention to detail. I bet this building looked awful from all angles before he painted this.
Strange, but cool. I love that it's holding a woman in a wheelchair. And she has headphones on. The car looks like a VW Bug, I think.
Freaky demon baby and CUTE baby dragon. One or both of them are practicing how to breathe fire. Love it!!
Very cool!!! This one looks SO 3D, he put in the shadows and everything.
I love all the detail. The buildings in the background are nice and clear. Such imagination and detail in the main subject(s). Very, very nice.
This is beautiful, yet you can see the sadness in the faces of both mother and baby. Almost as if they already know what the future is going to bring. (Though this could be a reflection of my own feelings about the future). It is very touching.
A combination of 'Planet of the Apes', 'Star Wars', 'The Lord of The Rings', and I can't remember what the little dragon is from. Altogether, very cool!!
I know I went way off topic, but I am very passionate about helping the homeless. And this mural just brought all that out. I would have kept going, but most people don't want to hear my ranting. This one definitely brought out a lot of emotional stuff for me.
Ah, Love. Such a universal thing. Most of the people on Earth can understand love and longing. This makes me think of both. Such an intimate moment. Beautiful!!!! (I've been single too long...lol.) And the scroll-like detail is beautiful.
It takes a special person to be able to look at a structure, wall, any sort of canvas, both big and small and see the beauty hidden inside. But to see it on such a huge scale and being able to bring that beauty to life is a skill and talent that's almost beyond words. You, Sir, are a wonderfully skilled and talented artist, and I wish I had one of your murals on one (or more) of the inside walls of my home. I wish I had this kind of talent. But sadly, I do not. My talents lie elsewhere. But you are amazing at what you do. Thank you so much for sharing.
Such a juxtaposition of styles. I like the style on the left, I'm a bit afraid of giant robots and unknown technology.
It's a baby angel and I think it looks pretty cool in its little nest.
Now, this is some serious imagination!! I love it!! So many totally different subjects combined to create this fun and quirky masterpiece. The happy, possibly stoned, slightly goofy mushroom. The elf and his drinking horn. The monkeys who seem to be acting as if they were pets. It's pretty awesome. But I can't figure out what the gold thing is on the bottom left?? Any ideas?? Anyone?? Also how, and why, are those people in his lap?? Also the details...In every painting he does, his details have been SO perfectly executed. And I LOVE that. I'm a details person myself because to me the beauty of something is in the details. It is in the smallest of things, the things that most people can't see, don't look for, don't care about or don't recognize. Whether it's painting, sketching, writing, designing, cooking, playing an instrument, creating beautiful things, etc. When you love doing something, you're always looking to make it better, and for that, you need the details.
I don't know why, but this one looks like that man was abducted by aliens and they are running experiments on him. And that is a scary idea. It makes me want to figure out how to save him from the aliens.
That is Beautiful!!! I love the colors. LOL...I just now realized that they are both jellyfish. Awesome!!
Freaky. Is he feeding the horse on his head? There is a saying about people having a monkey on their back. I think having an angry horse on your head might be way worse.
I would freak out if I saw that staring at me from behind the bushes. The missing link as a little boy/girl. Interesting thought.
Also freaky. It looks like a blind goddess is ripping her own face off. If there were snakes I would say this was Medusa. But I don't see any snakes, and I can't remember the name of the goddess with the horns. It's almost like she's saying "I have become death, here let me show you".
I want to say Thank You to the artist for sharing these AMAZING paintings/murals. I really enjoyed them. There were quite a few that I would love to have painted on the inside walls of my house. And the detail in ALL of them is unlike anything I have ever seen. And the range of subjects and styles is pretty awesome too. Thank you again for sharing your creations with us, I feel as if I just went to a museum. : )
