Wow, this is excellent.

Pantera (Jul 1, 2004)

Very very nice, you do great work :)

Aubrey (Aug 2, 2004)

I dunno why I never saw this but I wish I had. This is really cool Axil and I love how consumed in his music he looks.

shell (Mar 1, 2011)

This would've been great for the music poster competition.

It looks more like a bicycle if you ignore the wings and the barbecue grill.

Aubrey (Jun 29, 2004)

lol I'm so not seein the bike either. You guys are funny though. Nice eye Axil!

LovelyLori (Jun 30, 2004)

I read "bicycle" and started studying the picture looking for traces of something that could be interpreted as .. Oh I'm so naive.

Green eggs and ham

It would be harder to rhyme.

concannon (Jun 27, 2004)

You could think of the ham as Canadian bacon. Then you could have bacon and ham in one.

emmamommalag (Jun 27, 2004)

That green egg looks unappetizing. No wonder Sam doesn't like green eggs and ham. Here you go, xwind: We do not like green eggs and bacon.. let us see what Sam is makin'.

shell (Mar 1, 2011)

I do not like them Sam-I-Am.

Motion

Axil62 (Jun 25, 2004)

I don't know if I want to paint/color this or not. I'll probably have to if I don't want it moved.

I liked V1 better...the figure was the center of interest, the bg kinda camouflages it some..

davincipoppalag (Jun 27, 2004)

Fin_beast (Jun 27, 2004)

drawn in 6 min

Couldn't stand it, just had to fuck around.

Anna (Jun 23, 2004)

Excellent! Very nicely done! :D I love the colors!

Aubrey (Jun 24, 2004)

Ahhh I knew who it was from the pic, great job on getting it done in such a short amount of time! Looks just like an oil painting.

shell (Mar 1, 2011)

What is this? Fast drawing, painterly style, spot on colors? I think Dan04 just slipped into Dan11.

Calvin

Axil62 (Jun 20, 2004)

I know he's overdone, but I don't care. He's the best.

xwindflyer (Jun 21, 2004)

Dan, these look great! They look like there fresh from the produce stand. Makes me hungry for tomatos stuffed with tuna salad. yum.I love to eat tomatos like i like to eat apples with a little salt.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 21, 2004)

I just had to come back and look at these again. May I please purchase a large oil on canvas of this to hang in my kitchen? I just ate twenty cherry tomatoes for supper. I couldn't hold anything else after that.

shell (Mar 1, 2011)

Are these the horny tomatos you grew in your basement?

Nice.
Can we see a reference?

Axil62 (edited Jun 19, 2004)

http://www.geocities.com/inky1_2000/redb.html

I jazzed up the colors a bit in 2draw but that was my reference.

davincipoppalag (Jun 20, 2004)

They look a bit too close to the ground, but the colors are nice. Cindy you rarely see these in color. Mostly they are a greenish bluish sort of color. They are beautiful to see, nonetheless. Fin did a couple too, that were pretty much right on.

shell (Mar 1, 2011)

Aw none of the refs work anymore. Nice work, regardless.

The day started out good. My friend came home from Iraq. We drank champagne and smoked cigars. Not much was said about Iraq but we spoke of other things and laughed and enjoyed the morning. The day grew long for him as his internal clock was still set to Iraq time and the mood slowly changed to one of somber thoughts. I took him home and we shook hands and did that half shoulder guy type hug. I came home and felt melancholy and a little sad. I fell asleep and had dreams I can't remember now. So here I am again describing some meaningless image I've wasted more time doing. I don't know if it was a fair description or not and at this point I don't really care. Matt made it home.

phew thanks i was going through symbolism withdrawl. well i would name them all but... there are just so many. so i'll do 3
1) B&W is always a symbol of melancholy, and or depression
2)land with no sun, also pointing toward depression
3) no trees and a bare horizon usually symbol an emptiness or something similar...
well i think i got those right....

Axil62 (Jun 20, 2004)

I think so too. The figure is also almost over the hill and is facing what looks like a marker of some sort. Beyond that the image becomes hazy and uncertain.

davincipoppalag (Jun 20, 2004)

This is very evocative. It conveys the lonely helplessness of having someone we care about in an uncertain situation we can do nothing to change. This one is very good.

shell (Mar 1, 2011)

Good story. Good mono.
