Rabbit, --
Im absolutely fucking speechless. #&$%&##^$&!!!!!!
And on art reviews, Ive seen and interviewed so many posers,
that its REALLY rare to stop me cold.

Youve shut me down...completely.

As shallow as it is to say..i have a weakness for your level of talent.
This changes everything.//i dont know why, and i know thats sorta shallow..sry.
But to see work like this puts you in a completely different category altogether.
(again, i'm sorry im this way, its a true weakness of mine-
until i can see what someone can do, i dont know who they really are..ya know?)
I worked HARD to learn what i do, so Im an art snob of the first order..

Accept my open and sincere apologies across all fronts.
Lets start over, using this as our common ground.
I am truly humbled.
I dont humble easily.

now for me:

Adopted
Dyslexic
38 yrs old
sept 30th
illustrator junkie
recently responded to a similar thread, found FOUR members, same profile as above WITH exact birthdates(its why i included mine). It s a profile we all share to a degree.
The only reason i feel comfortable saying I understand some of you...

Heres my contribution to the Illustrator CS3 orgy. (photoshop detailing)
No photographic elements whatsoever ..all illustrator /photoshop.

Lol damn Rabbit, im smashed by your work.. :clapper:

I designed in a total vaccum, so im not overly influenced or subconsciously hack others.
I dont show my work at all, other than potential clients.

again, Rabbit..im humbled beyond words..
I cant say enough about the quality of your aesthetic..
completed and mature and deliciously complex detailing protocol...
I could not bear to see much more of your wrork..lol

thanks for your kind words,
but recognize fully...
you fuckin own me.
I try not to have to say that to many people...
i must, here tho..

Another weird detail..ive lost my art too..somehow.
Struggling daily with the trauma of that..
I mean the ability is still there..
however inspiration has completely escaped me.

Ive been an AD in several places and would have
absolutely been honored to feature your work...
Im good, but ive never been so complete like you are.
I bow in submission.

I wouldnt doubt the possibility that you influenced Shepard Fairey if he ever saw your work early in his career..

I have exactly one Band under my belt. 2005.
Grammy winner....for his 'sports drink line'.
Tasted like chemicals from a fuel tanker...

Funny because i bluffed my way through the whole bid process...
Because I didnt want them to know who i was..
I refused to come to any of the bid meetings, and meet and greet.

I made a fake mythology for myself, somewhat as a joke, bc I didnt think Id win the bid..
and this feller aint too fond of white redneck types..so i thought what the fuck..
Ill pretend Im too cool for this fool
Stood them up every time they set meetings,
refused to talk to him on the phone..jacked the price everytime they complained about ANYTHING..colors, images, presentation...
Pretended my traffic manager at an agency job was my agent..let her do all the talking.
Refused more meetings, stood up an entourage of 10 Decked out Escalades..
Yelled at him on the phone for killing ideas..
Never had more fun in my life.
Got the job, completed it and
Blew off the the Rollout.

laughed the entire time..

I have more pickup work than professional masterpieces..
The process of getting paid killed me and killed my love.
Had my heart borken over all of it..perhaps totally.
Went into publishing.
Im pretty much over selling air..on a philosophical level.
Thats probably what killed my spirit and endangered my health.
Got my stuff out on a professional level, but dont participate in much peer stuff..

I may just be over it..we'll see.

Getting paid as an Indie was a health battering beatdown,
and Im not anxious to go there again.

I think Im retiring.

HA HA - LOW6 That's either an Ibanez or a PRS guitar! - I have 2 PRSs and 1 Ibanez.
I'm wiggin' out on the similarities here - we may have found something big.
Here's my equipment...

By the way - you're a beast in Illustrator too - that drawing is wicked! Looks like theirs some Kai's Power Tools Photoshop layers in there too.
