Posted by gomodernart on October 01, 2012

you're work(s) are really awesome. i find them to be pensive, beautiful, with a strange sense of foreboding. a genuinely odd pairing of emotions. in other words: Well Done.

Saw your artwork in the new issue yesterday, was blown away. Such a warm and calming feeling in your work. Awesome.

Posted by brianmartin on March 17, 2011

Thank! It's a funny thing, I always seem to get that 'warm' reaction even when I want the piece to feel cold. Not sure exactly why that is, but it's always been that way. Glad to hear you like the work!
