The textures and the colours are wonderful, as is the composition.

This makes me think of metaphoric art - the picture opening up as I gaze upon it, like pent up emotions. The heart of those emotions behind a screen, or a cage if you will.
I love this.

This is very interesting. There is no real flow to it, yet a lack of contrast to stop it. I don't know what it is about it, but I think this has a way of really drawing me in.

....This pic has so much emotion and a air of beauty to it...

I love texture work. It's as if you could just reach out and feel it beneath your fingers.

this is as close as i could get to what i'd paint if i were able to at present.

I stopped painting when it got too hard on my eyes. I thought at the time I was going blind and wanted to save my eyes as long as I could. I was completely lost for the longest time because i had no artistic outlet. I did allot of writing but it just wasn't enough.

no, nothing else cna fully take the place of painting.

I at least have my pc and my manips now but I still get into arguments about whether or not that is truly art. I even have one friend who thoughtfully said "Hey you ought-ta have someone paint those for you and then they'd really be art and you could make a ton of money off of them.

Ask them if THEY could do manipulations like that? An art print of a manipulation hangs on the wall and says "look at me. I am art." The medium may be different than traditional painting, but art is art. period.

They'd only say there are no manips in the Guggenheim. There is allot of prejudice when it comes to what is and what isn't art just like your story on poetry. By the way I owe you a thanks. I checked out your friend's poetry (and it is poetry) and she is fantastic. I added her to my watch.

this is the perfect backdrop for a play i would want to perform
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yeah? what would the play be about?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
all my plays are about the one universal topic -
the individual and its strengths and weaknesses vs its surroundings and its strengths and weaknesses (also called the character's journey)
sounds boring but is indeed universal. your picture would be the backdrop of act 2 or 3, when the character already has had some strong blows but is still searching with (albeit diminishing) hope. the distant glow s/he can't perceive yet, but the audience as usual knows better ...
well, something along these lines

sounds very interesting. have you posted any at DA?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no no, not at all. the only thing i have posted that comes close to a play is here [link] and here maybe [link] ... old stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
extremely interesting and well written! maybe you should post one of your plays. i know not many people will take the time to read anything of any length, and it leaves you open for theft... but i am curious.

thanks a lot. but as i said, the ones i have down in writing differ quite a lot from this dark stuff here as they were all collabrations of student groups with my occasional prompting, helping out, focussing - but not essentially my ideas. i just prepare the framework, they fill it with their ideas.

ah, i see. much work to be done!

This is beautiful, first of all. And there's a strange kind of hope in it despite the "fall down" and the decay and the spider and the cage.

there's a little back glow that might be giving you that feel. thanks, man.

__Great work......!! very nice the combination of textures and colors......!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, i guess that's better than "very nice".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think I've ever seen you shoot for "very nice". 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, i haven't. if i get a "very nice", i take it as an insult!

I used to be so big and strong. I used to know my right from wrong. I used to never be afraid. (I used to be somebody) I used to have something inside. now just this hole it's open wide. I used to run it all.(I used to be somebody)

that's it, man. walking around with a huge hole where something used to be...

I love how the red tones are repeated through out the image, and still my eyes go first to the object near the middle and the one in the mini cage. Really nice textures going on as well. I really like this.

Nice compositing work, colors, and even with the ominous look there is an underlying beauty in the complexity. Scrap it? Never!

I'm lovin' the color combos on this one and it's easy to dance to.

This DOES seem to be the "fall down".
Sunset in a foreign place.
Decaying Isolations - Imprisonment awaits
There is the ever present clock.
Something IS certainly escaping, but you'd never know it.
My interpretations suck, but I'm feeling this.
