Does that guy have an earring? if it is I'll have to question your motives...and you...as a person.

I give this one an eff minus (toe-tahlly to the extreme). :bootyshak

Nice to see you post on here Ted. This is a nice life drawing. (This is Oskar btw, I attended Ron's workshop at your place a while ago)

What are you plans recently? Sal told me you were moving to Rome in Sep. Thats great man.

I said to the extreme I guess you didn't under stand.

Shaq is fun, Ice Cream is fun, girls naked in sewer tubes titled wet distress is fun, but earrings are for girls, gir-er-irls.

you start jazzin' things up the next thing you know your pants go tight and you start talking about how Patrick Negal was a genius. And that is exactly how it starts.

Look, there is a wonderful piece in the finally finished section called Wet Distress, it may help you.

I have no emoticon.

Issues have you ladies! Just kidding...N-E-Ways TedWorkCom this drawing is tight. It is a personal quest for me to learn that hatching/contour line technique

hey man...you should see puddnhead kevs new stuff...all that stuff that is up is freakin old. his new stuff rocks. He is painting a humongous mural in madonnas (yes that madonna) house right now and concepting the characters from blade 3 last i spoke with him. his fine art has progressed tremendously.

he has spent a tremendous amount of time developing his little world. Where the line is between one persons world and another is often blurry. his goal is to push it until it is his own...so you can instantly recognize it as his world. like doctor seuss perhaps...his world became his own because he pushed his own vision. puddnwood is following a similar path to seuss.

you have very strong skills. I would like to see stuff that looks like it comes from your own take on fine art and your own take on an imaginitive world. kev takes his ideas from his own visions and from his own appreciation of fine artists like ingres and van dyke. his work is a mixture of the art he appreciates. his ideas are his own.

keep pushing...you draw very very well and have very good rendering skills.

did you have marshalls class at laguna?

zing!

I think Android is saying something, it's real subtle so I can't really tell but I think he's saying that Puddn head is a better artist, and that you in no way compare to his abilities. And that in fact you may have traced this piece...maybe you projected it?

SO stay away from graphite, in a sketch book, and try not to draw the figure because that makes you a copy cat.

hey man...im not saying the stuff isnt good...im just saying that your exposure to puddnhead in person and on the web is more than obvious to me. much of it is too close. that is all.

andrew could see it too. Leia saw the pieces on your site and asked..is that kevins? Leia isnt an artist...she just knows kevins work from all the times he would come draw with us while we were hangin at the gypsy den.

that kinda thing will hold you back...youve got good skills...use em for your own vision...your own dreams...beware the land of puddnwood.
