Very powerful picture david. I think it say's a lot more than most of your fantasy pieces.

I wouldn't call it a total failure, maybe a partial failure. But you are right, there is something wrong with us still.

Wow, great idea to play on the yin and yang thing, simple and direct yet draws you into the details, well painted.

Celui-là fait partie de mes préférés, il est dérangeant et beau à la fois. Plein de finesse et de rondeur. Un petit chef-d'oeuvre !

En tout cas j'espére que cela permet de voir les inégalités face a la faim dans le monde ;-)

Bonjour,
Tout d'abord, félicitations bien sûr.
J'essaie de vous suivre dans la voie de l'open source, et si tout me convainc (softs, pipeline, etc.), je bloque sur un truc :
Comment obtenir l'interface de Gimp telle qu'elle apparait dans ce tutoriel?
Merci et à bientôt

Hello Deevad, never realized you work with MyPaint and GIMP though I've seen your works in other places, including CG society.

This piece in particular is extremely powerful.

Really though, all your stuff's amazing, thanks for sharing with us.

I was only recently told about MyPaint and experimented with it briefly before having to upgrade to windows 7 on my main workstation which wiped out linux. I'm still setting it up and going to do a backup before re-installing linux for a dual boot. I really didn't know my way around MyPaint though the brush engine impressed me very much.

I need to figure out a way to configure my wacom better in linux.

The GIMP-paint I've not tried, the only thing I heard was that it isn't supported anymore which is a big turnoff to me to the point that I don't even want to try it. I'm assuming it's some skinned version of GIMP with stuff laid out slightly differently. Maybe you know better as a user.

Wow that looks great. I'd really like to flattr it but sadly it doesn't have a button.

hello david,
i am a student in college, and my professor recently asked us to choose a visual rhetorical image to help us (students) give a speech on world hunger. i am also an art major and really love all of your work, though i am not nearly as talented in photoshop and GIMP. I am quite talented with acrylics, and my art studies are helping me to become much better. I found this piece to be very compelling (aesthetically as well as the message you convey) and would love to use it in my world hunger speech. Is there in additional information I could obtain form you on this piece? Like, how exactly you came about this particular subject matter? Was there a particular situation in the world that compelled you? Please, if you could help me, that would be absolutely fantastic!

Incredible picture. Thank you for being one artist that does more than just art, but gives a deeper sense to it.
Bonne continuation et encore merci,
Johannes

Hello. I stumbled upon this painting on a friend's blog. I instantly fell in love with it. The idea is so simple yet portrays such a strong message. Because of this, I am getting this as a tattoo on my rib cage this saturday. I really enjoy this work of art.

Although this is a very nice piece of work, I feel that you miss use the yin and yang ideals. Research Tao and you will see that your art doesn't flow with it. For instance the main idea is that yin cannot live without yang. Everything is made of yin and yang. Some have more yin and some have more yang. That is why this look different. This suggests too much yang is bad but according to Toaism that is just how things are made. Nice work though.

This is dead on. Seriously, great job on this! I couldn't picture a more perfect way to describe the world hunger today, and this is amazing and it's great! I seriously had a loss of words when I saw this!

sunday 09 september 2012, 15:48

Wow.. Really good, and so real !

This is just racism. Why is that fat dude white? Do you know how many black fat asses there is in USA?

Hi David

I would please like to use this as a front cover for a book I intend to publish soon. I am a Bantu man from "South Africa" and my book is about certain unsavoury trends in the thinking of my fellow Bantu. This image help to capture the sad posture taken by so many people here in Africa. They have become accustomed to victimhood. My book will seek to address this penchant for victimhood.

I would explicitly credit you as the original artist on the back cover.

So.
May I?
