How is the name "Jack" short for "John" when they have the same amount of letters and syllables?



Another great painting!

A charasmatic actor he is, and even if we may not know who is personally, but through his acting, it is clear how it comes natural for him to express himself through that outlet, it is his art. And for another artist like yourself capturing him through another artistic outlet, it makes great sense and if he only know about this piece here, he would feel truly honored by your efforts in painting this piece. An outstanding portrait that expresses his character and wit. Not many can capture the essence on a portrait, but you did..Great job David: )

Cant express in words/my heart- how you justified/validated my work-but,... If I knew, what you knew-Id be a way more confident person/artist..Thank you so much....!

Your hardwork and dedication paid off brother, and you know brother, It's rare but a breath of fresh air to learn of the ground you stand because it is through your humility that reassures the depth and also substance in each of your pieces. It's not just some work that is nice to look at because of the design, but they share different degrees of realness and meaning in a surreal realm that you enjoy creating. Thank you David for opening your door and welcoming us through interacting with these pieces you have painted.

Thanks again for your kind words and my humbleness will be with me till I am no longer here!! The art needs to be created-not just because it has the potential to pay bills-{lets pray that it does someday}-but because it is simply an extention of something that I have that was given to me..I thought today that God knew that I would be a failure at 90%of life skills so he gave me a talent to use to compensate..sounds weird but true! Thanks for your support, as always, my good man

You captured his expression so well... it's really great, you can really appreaciate the character there. The colors and lines are also really nice, i love the background!

Hey`Thats so awesome and appreciated-Its funny because I spent 39 hours on the figure and 20 minutes on the background-and your comment tells/guides me not to be so uptight about everything and just approach "The Whole Painting" as a background Thats so cool..! Im still learning

Reanimated-Theories [2008-06-02 16:17:52 +0000 UTC]

That looks exactly like him and you defiantly captured his presence and aura of supreme charismatic acting. I love how you accentuated the emotion and feel in his eyes with detail and different range of color. And the boldness of his mouth really makes the painting POP. Its like this is how he would exactly look like if reality looked like one huge ass acrylic painting. AAAaaaaamazing work.

Haaa! Thanks alot!! Actually I figured even if it didnt come out all that great =it was Still "one huge ass acrylic painting" like ya said-so the size of it when your standing next to it is a positive factor in itself to overcompensate the,..ok Im rambling-LOL!!!!! Thanks for the props
