It's fun to see part of your process (what's going on under the hood). It helps to better understand what goes into creating a work of art. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Joel, interesting creation. Looks like you riffed on the image of a steers skull. I like the contrast of colors and flat vs the shading of the leaf/wing body. Keep up the great work!

Hi Joel! Remind me again of the theory at work here- the triangle of light? So interesting!

I had seen the individual images on your Instagram, it's great to see the whole piece assembled and the decorations on the walls and floor. So cool!
Posted 10 months ago by Greg
I'm so glad you are posting again. And I like the work, along with the bright heart with the hallow, I can see a heart on the back pack and with the braided hair. A nice composition of horizontals, verticals, and diagonals. Keep creating!

I think the contrast is great. The small red splashes and scratches help to keep the eye moving. Hope you are having fun with the oil pastels.

I like the red on gray white and the brush strokes, looks white with a little yellow that brightens it even more. I'm guessing it is a blender or a scale for a super sized soda ?? whatever, it is cool!

Joel, this is SO GOOD! How did you create it? I'm curious about the techniques.

I have to hand it to you Joel, these are good!
Posted 2 years ago by Greg
How wonderful Joel! Especially if this is your first print. I hope you enjoy the whole process of print making ... imaging the the image backwards, the physical element of the art, transferring the ink to paper, and being able to make copies, each a little different. Keep creating!

Great work! I like your use of black.
Posted 3 years ago by Memaw Hollingsworth
This one is mesmerizing. There are so many different patterns to check out. I can't stop checking out the details.
Posted 3 years ago by James (Father)
I can't imagine how you got the stands to line up when it goes under something in the weave. Nice work!
Posted 3 years ago by James (Father)
I like this one. Is it Cubism? That is the only thing I remember about my art class. Or the weave in your shirt, magnetized? I so enjoy seeing your work, keep up the good work.
Posted 3 years ago by Memaw Hollingsworth
I like the complicated shapes in the middle, and green and blue.
Posted 3 years ago by James (Father)
