Awesome!

I can't say that I'd heard of Pirandello's comedy until you mentioned it, although I looked it up ("Right you are"?) and it looks very interesting. *I'm always a big one on comedies and satires* So thanks for giving me some new material to take a look at!

I'm glad you value the meanings of the peice as well as the appearance... I guess that's what I was really going for... more meaning than any amazing graphic design (hence the simplicity of the pic itself). I always love knowing that my work has touched someone, so thank you

*drooling*

I think this may be the best piece in your gallery (other than your self portrait of course)

I like the mystery here and the fact that you have left the viewer to imagine what's behind the mask.

Great work.

How sad.

I'm not sure if that's what you intended, but it's kind of depressing.

Reminds me a lot of some of my older drawings, faceless people, a mask that covers everything, it's so sad that a face can unintentionally hide so much and simultaneously deliver so much deciet.

It's just past that mask where the actual human dwells but like a reflection in the water it's hard to see through without disturbing the surface.

Love it, makes me think, I only wish it was bigger.

ashrei-halom In reply to sub7th [2004-02-09 07:41:34 +0000 UTC]

It is intentionally at once sad and cynical... an honest look at the truth of people often work and the truth is not always pleasant. Beautiful, but not always pleasant. I'm glad you like it.

hi and thanks for those kind words on my pictures. always good to have an opinion from someone who knows what they are talking about i really like this one quite a bit. i think those masks are pretty creepy honestly but you really did make this look beautiful.
