Description
I wanted to do something totally different and completely stylized. So I came up with this. That's right, if Atlantis had a little cafe, what would it look like? Well, here's my imagination of it! I tried to be as minimalist as possible for this piece to see what I can accomplish. I'm pretty happy with it I think.Full View for full happiness!

Now THIS is the kind of art I don't see too often. And what a shame! I mean, I love this kind of poster-like art! Pictures like these make me imagine a jazzy abstract atmosphere, (which is really cool) and making people feel something in a piece of art is something to be proud of! Plus, you made everything very fluent, color-wise. You, my friend, have an ingenious mind in that creative head of yours. ^^

I very much like how you captured the 1920's/30s wartime 40's jazz feel. And the long legs just make it so cool

Gotta love women with long legs too

Here's the best part, or at least for me it's the best part, but you've stylized it with a sort of "mod", 1930s/40s ad throwback! I love the period piece feel it holds, i swear it's oozing with it. Doesn't help that I'm a fan of the throwback style, either. Wonderful piece and congrats on the feature

By the way...i forgot to ask..how does it feel to have a DD posted? I wanna get in on some of the limelight. LOL.

lol.. oh dear.. well... aside from the tremendous growth of watcheres and all that, sifting through the inbox was.. well... it brought tears to my eyes, not necessarily from joy, but from staring at the screen for so long and responding to all the messages! Technically, responding to ALL of them would currently be impossible due to time, but I try to thank those who have left really meaningful comments and thoughts such as yourself

'it brough tears to my eyes, not neccessarily from joy...'
LOL!! That's hilarious! ahahhaha. 
Anyways, well...that's great you're getting all those 'publicity' as I'd like to call it.

Hehe, funny thing is that most of us are starving artists who wish they'd have the money to support the work of other starving artists! But no worries, at least one of those starving artists will eventually get discovered in the professional world and actually make some cash

Yes..i was told this wonderfuly saying once. "Find a job that is something which you like to do on an ordinary basis...therefore, it wouldn't be called JOB or WORK...it would be called fun!"
