eta - i thing there's some great stuff here, btw. I like sinister sexuality in art.

thats how i was going to put it- sinister and sexual

 

[cesare]

Can you expand on that one? I am interested as to what makes you say so...

He doesn't agree btw.

The reason for my observation (and it was just imo, how they struck me) was the linking of sexuality with rats and serpents, together with the invasive/oppressive nature of what the rats and serpents are doing. Also the positioning of the figures where there's more than one, generally with a theme of domination. The 'normal' male + female one, has him standing on the edge of a precipice. And fragmentation. Just a few impressions.

i was interested in snakes being symbols of predeterminism (as claimed on egodeath.com)

Dear lord woman, you've been hiding a real talent!

thanks!

 

[Dillinger4]

I agree.

These rats. They may be small dogs though which is no reflection on your draughtsmanship

Other themes are scary eyes (was that why you got upset with me on the other thread re the eyes thing, btw?)

 

[i-am-your-idea]

some of the creatures arent meant to be any particular animal, im not sure what they are either!

 

[Dillinger4]

One of the more sinsister themes for me was the all the disconnected body parts.

That's the fragmentation thing I was referring to.

That's the fragmentation thing I was referring to.

fragmentation of the self, innit.

Yes, that's what I assumed.

thanks for the link. theres some interesting stuff on there, but dont like it that much. although i love the person with trees for hands, they clearly stole my idea!!

the people are too impersonal for me, but i like the design of the site with the little ladybirds and moths. also liked the suprise that some of the images have parts of the animated!

Why don't you like it?

it looks he is scared to use anything but grey pencil? its very neat, and the detail is painful! i like images that look like people have really enjoyed making them. the subject matter is very emotional, but the mark making seems cold to me. the faces are very impersonal.

i prefer more folky stuff.

this is the image that has stayed in my head:

 

[i-am-your-idea]

[idioteque]

Some of them remind me of the artwork in Damien Rice's album sleeves...
