This is another powerful image with universal reference.

This is a particularly impressive piece of work, despite the lo-fi feeling of it. I'm rather fond of the grid effect and the pixellated way in which the white descends into darker tones; it's rather fitting with the communications wires that run towards it from the focal point of the piece. Good stuff.

This is neat.
I really love the boxes and how they are different transparencies.

I love the simplicity. This is a powerful piece, its clean, organized, and subtle. I like to say, "less is more"- ... Really nice work.

This picture seems full of melancholy and nostalgia to me. Maybe it's caused by the colours. Or by the disappearing wires... Reminded me of Telegraph Road by Dire Straits immediatelly - it probably wasn't your intention, but because that song is among my personal top ten and seems quite complicated to me, I think it proves this picture is very, very good. I love the techinque here, too.

It looks like the jacket of a CD of "mig" called "dhikrayat" a french trip hop group.. I like it, good job !

Thanks! Granted, its not exactly unique subject matter but it's still one of my favourite pieces. I'll check out that group, the last thing I heard out of France was Birdy Nam Nam.

You're welcome!

This is great, the dark detailed lines and pole fading into watercolor pixels exploding. The gloomy colors kick me in the stomach and tell me to like it

Thanks for the wonderfully kind comment, I actually went back and looked at the work again to try and see it the way you did, through fresh eyes. It was a much needed dose of boosting up morale at the moment, one that I am highly appreciative of. Again, thanks so much for that.

This is cool. I like squares. I love cubes but I like squares
Looks like a cool combination of maths and art
Nice work

Really nice work, a nice blend of complex beautiful craftsmenship mixed with a somewhat simple concept(statement not intended to degrade any part of this piece)

Very eye catching. I could see myself hanging this on my wall....which is a very good thing because I am very picky about art.

Very nice, I like the grungy feel.
Not sure I understand the meaning though...?

Lovely work - I don't even know what to say. Great job!

The pole is kind or random if you were concentrating more on the checker like things, but otherwise, very nice.
What did you use?

Like your texture in the water color squares. You could do a piece with just those and it would be good. I like how you have put together 2 different ideas; Geometric and silhouette of the telephone pole but feels like they need to be incorperated into each other more?
*side note* Ek! evil telephone pole!!----> /omg Kill it before it multiplies and overruns our nation more!!

I hadn't put much thought into the piece, I'll say that much. The fact that it's gotten such great feedback from people is immensely gratifying, though I don't know how well deserved. I think I will revisit this theme/stylistic treatment some time in the future, and so I'm grateful for your thoughts and advice. Definately more incorporation next time.

nice, very nice !, u have managed to depict the mood well in this, balance is good but could be improved, (perhaps a second pole faded in the distance cud be added to give more balance and a bit more of a meaning to it),the poles wires are a bit too straight an alligned. overall, this is an excellent peice of work.

Yeah, there wasn't much thought put into it when I made it, so a lot could have been done to enhance or improve it. It just turned out to be one of those happy accidents. Thanks for the comment.

I find it difficult to give words to this piece, my attention was continualy drawn to it whilst browsing your gallery yet even in fullview i cant find what attracts me about this piece, if i attempted you would probably end up with quite a few misnomers, very interesting piece.
