ooh i love it! LOVE it! i like how sometimes, the backgrounds look almost impressionistic, the colors and textures..but then the bright lively shapes in the foreground bring you back down to earth, but then they're totally surrealistic...my favorites are 'down the long dark road,' 'this be the verse' and 'a despairing night'

thanks for bringing this in scott!

That's exactly what I thought when I saw this stuff...how these different styles sort of contradicted yet met each other at the same time. It's such an interesting dynamic. Your favourites are mine as well.

You're both very welcome

ah, finally i can see the images! i tried to look at them for the past few day but they didn't load...

thanks scott, i like them very much. agree with everyone about the use of colour and they also remind me of a 'small faces' take on fairy tales ... a little bit of mushroom-diet included but transported into almost classical paintings, that's nice!

hiroshi sugito comes to mind, too.
