Bonjour! This is my first time dumping my stuff here, and I suppose I could use an honest brutal critiquing. Without further ado, I present some of my more recent works for you to hate, love, or feel indifferent towards. Enjoy!

Fancy meeting you here...

haha I like the Aesop Rock reference. My favorite is the Road to East Shooshire. A bit low brow, but scrotums are always funny. You're first piece is technically good but kinda bland. Especially next to a scrotum. Mobile Acoustic Brigade Alpha is also really nice. But it's too reminiscent of Mucha. You definitely have a more practiced digital hand than traditional. They're both good, but your digital has a lot more polish. Awesome stuff here.

Lovely! My favourite is 'Mr. Wumple Cannot Play Tennis'

Haha, awesome!

Elwell – I miss you! Sometimes I cry myself to sleep at night because you're gone

Contraomnes – Thanks for the complements! I agree that my traditional skills are definitely lacking; I attribute that to my high school's ban on oil paints (something about the fumes scared them), so I only first picked up a brush in college a year and a half ago. I love oils and I'm still working hard to learn as much as I can, but my old battered tablet will always hold a dear place in my heart. And of course, I'll stick a scrotum anywhere I can if the situation presents itself.

Gildorek – I have giant, exorbitantly expensive prints available if you've got nothing else to do with your money haha.

Those are just sweet. If it wasn't for the levitating fish the first would be my favourite. As it is, the Road to East Shooshire is my No. 1, you've captured the essence of what looks like an awkward situation brilliantly. Don't like the nun, though, it doesn't work for me on a number of levels and it looks like the odd one out of what's otherwise a totally refreshing and accomplished bunch.
