I guess this guy is big on fine chicks, rad angles & urban lifestyle. Nice to see that you're still pushing on and keeping up your work. As I told you before, keep it up - who knows, you may be blazing an astounishing trail for other open minded photographers with these angles and graphics combined - and your technique will live on and remain to be know as KarKarmism :) (Smile)

It would be nice to see some of your handpainted works aswell, especially if there are any new abstract works inspired by pollocism. Still enjoying the one you gave me, from our old office at K-city.

Keep it up old friend!

Hey, dakota, I´m out of words. You are way too polite and smooth spoken to me and on my works, or on our works that is the right word due to these pictures never could be done without Katja, she is the true soul and the spirit in them! I´m really touched for your inspiration and for your wonderful words, thank you my friend!

Loved your picture, the plain and every day style that I seek for and love most. My very best to City of Angels!

Moi !

Kiitos palautteesta ja mukavaa että pidät 'tyylistäni'.
Itse tosiaan pidän 'Aurinkokuninkaan' Tammisen sanoin tyylistä 'Keep It Simple..' ;) (Wink)
Sinulla on tosi upeita kuvia ja niitä on paljon, täytyy oikein varata joku ilta
aikaa ja käydä ne tarkemmin läpi. Sinun tapasi käyttää luontoa taustana
on tosi upea, antaa hyvän kontrastin.

Mutta nyt täytyy jatkaa 'työntekoa' valillä

Ja taas lisää suomalaisia!
Tuntuu että joka päivä täällä törmää uuteen suomalaiseen deviantiin. :D (Big Grin)

Nyt taidankin tehdä pienen kierroksen siun galleriassa. Vaikkakin "pieni" voi olla hiukan aliarviointia, sulla näyttää olevan täällä vaikuttava määrä kuvia. :) (Smile)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

karkar In reply to kittyvane [2003-10-08 21:59:55 +0000 UTC]

Niitä on siis pelottava määrä...Ehkä pientä toistoa on havaittavissa joissakin sarjoissa mutta se kuuluukin mun standard operating procedureen - kun tulisi vielä joku ja selittäisi mitä se tarkoittaa ASAP.

Toivottavasti löydät jotain kiinnostavaa galleriasta, itse pidän suunnattomasti tietysti kaikista naisista, tyylikkäitä ja ylivertaisia kaikki! Harvinaisen vähän täällä on muuten suomalaisia vai olenko ihan väärässä? (Toisaalta se voi olla ihan hyväkin kun katsoo tätä meidän kieltämme, on siinä ulkomaiset kateellisia...).

Kotkan aikavyöhykkeellä vaikuttaisi olevan yö, huomaan, siis tsekkaan galleriaasi tänään myöhemmin.

kittyvane In reply to karkar [2003-10-08 22:21:31 +0000 UTC]

ASAP = As Soon As Possible, niin pian kuin mahdollista

Täällä on itseasiassa pelottavan paljon suomalaisia. Oikeesti sitä törmää uuteen suomalaiseen melkein viikoittain. ~fi ssä on jonkinmoinen lista täällä vaikkuttavista suomalaisita, mutta läheskää n kaikki ei oo listattuja.

Helsingin aikavyöhyke näyttää myöskin olevan yön vallassa.
Sitä en tiedä mitä mä vielä hereillä kuppaan... :) (Smile)

karkar In reply to kittyvane [2003-10-09 08:03:51 +0000 UTC]

OK, mä kerjäsin tuota...Tarkoitin asapilla että joku voisi selittää mullekin pikimmiten mikä mun työskentelymetodi oikein on, vai onko mistään kotoisin? Ja sitä paitsi sen verran turhamainen, että piti oikaista tämä väärinkäsitys ettei nyt luulla että täällä periferiassa ollaan ihan sivistymättömiä...

Asiaan, pidin kovasti galleriastasi! Nä yt viehättyneen 40- ja 50-lukulaisesta grafiikasta, ainakin minulle tuli tuon ajan käyttö- ja mainosgrafiikka mieleen vahvasti. Piirrostekniikkaasi on pelkistettyä ja kuitenkin graafista ja vahvaa, teknisesti puhdasta. Yksinkertaisen tekeminen tyylikkäästi missä tahansa onkin kaikkein vaikeinta. Se kuka sen osaa sen tunnistaa, sinä osaat!

Minulla on muuten itsellänikin tuolla galleriani alkutaipaleella muutamia piirroksia 50-luvun leideistä suuren tribuuttina suurelle Alex Raymondille, en tiedä löysitkö, mutta tsekkaa jos kiinnostaa ja kommentoi!

Kiitos viestistäsi ja vierailustasi, tavataan näissä merkeissä!
