Thank you very much for your message on my page, That was a great idea for a character -
"There also has to be a 40 year old mullet wielding club owner that stalks Jessicaβs Brother's band to try convince them to play in her Geriatric singles club"
- i really might do that....thank you for sugesting it to me.
Thank you also for taking you time to check out my pictures and the characters involved, i really do honestly appriciate it and i'm glad you think they are cool.
Thanks again eace

Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I offer only the truth, nothing more.
Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill
spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
I know. That's why it's going to work.

Thanks for explaining:
You answered:
Thank you for you comments. Let me reply as any good man should...
S: What the hell is Botoro?
B: Botor is the man with the master plan, but is the master to no man.
I add: A man who might throw up a few more pieces for us to view. I'd look forward to seeing them.
S: I either think it's funny, or don't think it's funny, depending upon what everyone else thinks (particularly those in authority)
B: It is niether. It is serious and shows my new found attitude after been informed that useing the "H" word violates policy.
I add: Information of that sort is valuable in life. It gives humans new hints about the true nature of reality.
S: Makes all kinds of sense to me, it being the nature of the whole world. That coke box sort of being Africa and Europe with that little white crack being the Straits of Gibraltar. Thimba and Thembi being the Americas, turned horizontal. Jan Hindrik Nardas himself being Asia, there off with it's back turned to everyone else, full of inscrutable Asians.
B: Indeed.
I add: I was a bit miffed you didn't get Australia in there, and Antarctica.
S: Yeah. Makes all kinds of sense to me, except the hypocracy part. And the nature of the world part. And the sense part.
B: To explain the hipocracy part: They are living in a system of himpocracy, but they are still united inspite.
I add: Thanks. That clears it all up.
S: I know you are trying to impress with this piece of swagger, but the house ain't that much. Mine's almost as good. I agree with scorpio, though. i love jungles specially I like tigers..monkey..lion..elephant and of course TARZAN, though I'm more of a JANE fan, my ownself.
B: oK.
I add: Not taking anything away from your house. Life's a tough gig whereever you might live.
Thanks for returning the comments.

The first time I posted this comment it didn't take. I'll try again at the risk it will post twice:
I like your journal. I was led to your site by one of your notes under a comment to someone. I have no idea what a Bokuru revolution is, but (I tentatively believe) from what I've seen, I like your work. I can see how you might have to be careful what you say. Your observation that someone 'looked as though he might be' something certainly stands to make him one, despite all his efforts to be otherwise. Poor bloke going along in life being straight and suddenly finds himself attracted to other men because of one of your thoughtless comments. What the hell.

Your heart is in the right place. Your page brought a smile to my face.
I am happy to have you in my community.
Fell free to be honest about anything I do as I love honest critiques more than being placated.
I read on this site once:
"We would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism."
I do not believe this phrase applies to a true artist.
Take care my friend and keep spreading the love.

hey man, thanks for the comments.
the reason the title is Black Chair I, is because of the object I based my painting on. I picked up two black vinyl chairs from the garbage, and I painted one of them. It is a whole series of just a single black chair...thats it!
Cheers man, thanks again.

i lived there for 5 years, wish i still did, but its not safe for white people anymore (or for anyone who supports the MDC)! (a few people i know have been murdered)

I think that you do not yet realize that art is in the eye of the beholder, and it is not meant to be "bashed". If you have a helpful comment, then surely leave it, but if you are going to leave a comment that is going to do no more than tear the artist down, then I would suggest not leaving it.
Judging by your two policy violations, I am assured that I am not the only one who feels this way about your commenting.

I guess posting comments like "What are the other two talking about?!? This is bad! How long did it take you? Take it away! It is a mess!" and "Stop sending incomplete works in. This is meaningless and no-one cares. It looks like a shit." is called constructive comments in you're country. If you are to make comments like that to me, atleast have correct grammar.
And on a side note, this is the last comment I'm going to send you. I find what you write highly offensive to people in this community with a brain. As you clearly seem to be missing one.

havokns [2002-09-09 17:31:12 +0000 UTC]
Oh no, please don't call me a 'bad man'... please don't... I don't like that...
If you would use you're 'intellect' (if it's even there), you would give people 'constructive' comments, and not flame their work. You're 47 are you not? Stop acting like a fucking child.
Just cause you have had it 'rough', that dosen't mean others havn't had it rough to. One time last year I only had like 500$ to keep me alive for one week, it was tough but I got trough it (barely).

havokns [2002-09-08 15:32:33 +0000 UTC]
You are supposed to be 47? Give me a fucking brake. You attacked my work (which in itself is attacking me), and I did the same.
On the note of being a rich kid. I love Capitalism, I love money, I love to be able to buy whatever I want even though I don't need it. I love working almost nothing and getting everything I would need (or not).

Awesome. I didn't realize there were no african locals on Diviantart. There are very beautiful art in Africa, so I think you will have the market cornerd.... but don't hate me cause I'm a capitalist. I didn't choose I'll cya what I can do with the tortoise pictures. Got two up for now. Thanks for the comments and welcome to :deviantart:
