My gallery mainly contains traditional works, but I have submitted the odd digital. Although the digital side is still developing, will work on it a little more but I will never abandon my traditional routes. Take a look see, you may like something.

Testudo Gigantea

"Love the texture and the expression on its face! It looks rather wise doesn't it? The rose is a nice addition, not only because of color but for interpretation's sake. A red rose, symbol of love and beauty, in front of something that looks old and seemingly "ugly". The tortoise is by no means ugly! Just thought I'd clarify".

Enter My Mind

"The detail is amazing - around the edge especially, which gives a nice outline to the drawing. I think the footprints and the eyes add to the whole sense of creepyness. And the rose give a sense of love or maybe abandonment(?). Great job".
By ~herfarewell

Gordon Ramsay

"Gotta love that smooth shading. You say the background is last minute, but I find it very appropriate given the nature of his shows. It's as if he set a new recruit's contract on fire, haha".
By ~Taefaros

Challenges In Wait

"There is nothing to critique, so I apologize for that. BUT, I will say that I don't think I've seen a piece like this in a while that tells such a story. You've got a great gift with your style".

Favourites

I think its safe to state that my interests cover a wide range of styles. Here are many works of art I consider inspirational and thought provoking. Take a step inside and see for yourself, you may like them.

Critiques

by *IT-Hammar

Upon the first glance it becomes evident that a great deal of care and attention has gone into the development of such a complex piece ...

The Death of Beauty



De-forestation: Every year masses of trees are destroyed for profit, much is unnecessary. We know forests will eventually grow back, but the thousands of species wiped out each year will not rise from the dead.
Hunting & Over Fishing: The oceans are becoming bare. Every year millions of sharks are killed for their fins before being dumped back into the water to drown. Only a fraction of the whales that once swam the oceans still remain due to inferior nations incapable of finding alternative ways of making money. Ivory is still finding its way into markets as are tiger skins etc.
Chemical Dumping: This is occurs on land and in oceans, destroying natural habitats, even posing a major threat to our own health and safety. Nuclear power plants, Waste disposal companies...you get the idea, they're all to blame.

We do not have dominance over the world, we do not have the right to destroy what we share with millions of other species. Imagine a world where the sea is empty, the forest silent and the land filled with toxic waste. We are the most intelligent species on earth and its time we use that intelligence to make the world and our lives better.

I have the urge to plaster my walls with creativity so I can start the day with wonderful observation

How did humanity survive with this stupidity?

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 12, 2009, 12:52 AM
I usually don’t use my journals to rant and complain, but I will for the first time since I joined back in 2005. I just want to vent a little bit for a change.

So I was watching Genesis TV (sky ch.592) and Revelation (sky ch.585), both of which are an evolutionists equivalent to comedy central. For anyone who hasn’t seen them they have these little witty programs about creation, all of which are hosted by idiots. That may sound typical of an evolutionist to refer to creationists as idiots, but usually I’m quite tolerant of them. But the ones who host these programs cannot be taken seriously. You have people like Dr. Carl Weiland, Dr. Grady McMurtry, Kirk Cameron and John Mackay talking about how evolution is wrong, the world is just 6,300 years and so on. The problem is, these people don’t have the qualifications to argue most areas. These are the people who follow the bible with firey passion ignoring the fact that it has been re-written dozens of times. They also ignore the fact that each event that suposedly happen wasn't written about until a few centuries later (that includes jesus). Just to name a couple of things. Chinese whispers comes to mind.

Take Dr. Grady McMurtry for example:
Self proclaimed Creation Scientist, which is not actually a science and not recognised by any legitimates body of education or science. He argues passionately against Molecular Biology, Geology, Palaeontology etc despite the fact he has no qualifications in any of these fields. He’s a Doctor alright, a doctor in bullshit. He has an undergraduates degree in agriculture, an honorary degree in environmental science (it came in the post) and a degree in Theology (biblical thinking). He’s not even a real scientist yet he recons he knows more about these fields than those who are qualified (actual scientists). He argues against evolution by manipulating facts and proven scientific methods, yet provides no science of his own. He uses out dated articles and scientific information to attack evolutionists, ignoring modern day corrections and discoveries. He even manipulates text from the bible to support his views, the bible he supports. I mean I’ve heard of reading between the lines but there is such thing as too far, re-writing it himself by the looks of things.

Then you have Kirk Cameron, oh boy:
Former Teen Hollywood actor, Evangelical Creationist. Well, this is the idiot who along with his partner in stupidity Ray Comfort managed to come up with a classic argument entitled: The Atheists worst Nightmare.
Apparently the modern day Domesticated Banana is actually proof that evolution is wrong. Why you may ask, that’s because:

1. Bananas are shaped for human hands and have a non-slip surface.
2. They have outside indicators of inside content (Green-too early, Yellow-just right, Black-too late).
3. They have a tab for removal of wrapper, they’re perforated on wrapper which is also Bio-degradable.
4. Its shaped for human mouths, and has a point at top for ease of entry.
5. Its pleasing to taste buds and is curved towards the face to make eating process easy.
So you see, it must be proof that God exists otherwise why would they be so perfect for us, its the only logical explanation.


Well, its actually not, I did highlight the word Domesticated, that’s because modern bananas are a result of human intervention originating in Jamaica in the 1830‘s. Wild bananas created by nature are virtually inedible. In other words, Man created modern bananas not God……Argument Fail.

Yea these two are just the tip of the iceberg. For any evolutionist who has not seen these programs yet, I suggest you do. Though I do suggest having a stress ball ready as the lies and manipulations will become clear very quickly. Because of these people, I have developed this irrational hatred for studity. I'm just trying not to see every religious person as the same as I'm aware they are not, I know many and they are fine.

Pushed Back:
I spent a few years studying business (general, fashion/retail) and economics while planning to move to London and set up a Clothing Company (Online/High Street) for Urban and High End Fashion. But just as I was about to start, the markets turned into a royal bitch and it would of ruined me (around 80% of a £200,000 debt to pay with no way of doing so). Because of several factors currently looming, it will be a while before this happens. But its not all bad, every cloud has a silver lining……

Brought Forward:
I’m bringing forward what would have been a future plan. I’m currently working my way into Interior Design and Property Development. I am to start with general development projects to hopefully get in the banks good books. I will progress to more complex projects involving really run down properties as I love the idea and welcome the challenge of fixing up something in a real mess (like a phoenix from the ashes). My aim will then be to progress to building properties, let my creativity flourish so to speak. Of course with this I will require professional aid as I’m no architect (got it sorted already).
Then hopefully, along the way the aim at finally moving to London will happen.

Art:
I think its clear I favour traditional methods of art, though I have messed around with other medias. Will try and focus more on them when I have the chance. I still aim to produce works of a surreal nature, but I will also be producing more real world pieces. My environmentalist and evolutionist side has left its mark on paper.

The digital work is just a mess around. The more complex pieces I usually do cannot be submitted yet as I cannot cover them legally at the moment (costs a fair bit).

...I've been staring at your GODFATHER poll for ten minutes and honestly can't decide if I favor one over the other....
I think both are film making at its best and they both have seemingly countless strong points. I simply can't decide!!!
