**Stark** · November 14th, 2008, 03:47 PM

You were in fuckin LA Tom? And you didn't let me know? Well, maybe I should update my 'Location'...BUT DUDE! I'm like 1.5 hours from there! How long will you be there? You need to bring your happy ass down to 29 palms and chill with us Marines!!!

Oh, nice art btw.

**Idiot Apathy** · November 14th, 2008, 04:05 PM

I'm back in Utah, was only there for an extended weekend. How's the Corp?

**MattGamer** · November 14th, 2008, 04:47 PM

welcome back! i'm gonna read and find out
why you were in cali. hmm

i like your cute airport sketches. so cute!

**Stark** · November 15th, 2008, 01:51 AM

It's not bad. Bought 3 new sketchbooks over the weekend and they're here. So, I plan on doing a lot more art than usual to try and get back to where I was...or wasn't. I'm just really bored in the Corps right now, learning electronics and all that shit. But since I have so much time, I'm gonna try to squeeze in a lot of art....We'll see how that goes right?

**kaktuzlime** · November 17th, 2008, 07:46 PM

You rock my world.

**Blue Severin** · November 18th, 2008, 02:03 AM

Heh Tom, 40-60 hours a week of art might have done it, but I know if you visit SF, you can trade your sweet sweet

in the Castro for just about anything. Gooder arts all the time man.

**Clochette** · November 22nd, 2008, 07:53 PM

Those enviro vignettes are ace! Totally great!

adding my voice for an update!!

want to see new stuff from you!

**Kristo Novo** · February 5th, 2009, 07:44 PM

damn cool stuff... interesting worlds in a cool style

**George Abraham** · February 6th, 2009, 06:43 AM

Love your stuff and your clear direction of development is an inspiration.

I like this one, It would be a great painting for the dining room wall.

There where an artistically painted Homer Simpson doing's Van Gog's "scared shitless on a bridge" scene on a local bidding site once for like R50.
I thought, no one was going to go for it but I was outbid, I think it went to about R200 or R300.

Artistic toilet humor... Turned out there's a market for it. I think the trick is to find a balance between classic aesthetic mural decoration paintings and the comical or familiar cartoon or toilet humor.

And if you disguise it well enough folk might not notice, It would look like a pretty serious painting, that happens to match in with the color scheme of the room.

**Royzy** · February 23rd, 2009, 05:08 PM
