I can't decide which piece I like the best, I love them all, I really dig the back outlines in them and the movement they have.The color is amazing too. Keep up the good work.

I think those pieces look fantastic .. not sure if it was part of your thought process in their creation , but, they make me think of societys current obsession with plastic surgery and the importance put upon maintaining the facade at all cost . what sort of size are these?

these particular ones are 24 x 48 and yes your not off my work is all about the beautiful and grotesque i believe that there is no line between the two that they exisit together as one and plastic surgery falls into that category.... this particular series is called "kissey fishey face" lol sexy isnt it xo

Those are great. They would be wonderful in big gold ornate frames.
