That last pic is pretty intense. Very thought provoking
It's title is "The Priests of Preoccupation"Senôr Lopez said:
this is the one that got me interested in his work....
"Mope Rock 1"
and now I like all of his pieces
the colors are pretty neat, but to me it's bordering on comic book art.
man that's a little harsh huh.... oh well, it's my opinion.

ya know what Skook?
I thought the same thing.
And I started wondering why that was a 'bad' thing.
But I also thought that the composition, technique, colors.... everything just fit... and a lot of the paintings bring out an emotion in me.
They definitely are 'dated' pieces. That is, they are very indicative of a specific time period (now)... but I don't think they are trendy.
I don't believe that the artist made these pieces in an effort to fit in with current fads. I truly believe that the artist put a lot of himself into it.
That's why I like them.

I really dig the one of the singer and the one of the girl looking at the sun flowers
The art looks a lot like the animation for the Gorillaz. Props.
This one rocks. Just where do all the Dead Kenny's go? Clever.MudGrrl said:
Very cool stuff, I really like his style. I also love the website, that is an awesome interface that is really appealing visually
Interesting paintings. As others have said, I like that you can see the artist's thoughts so clearly in every piece (after all, is that not the point of art?); with, in my opinion, underlying themes of disillusionment with our society and deep empathy for those damaged by it, creating a sort of justification, as it were, for some rather cliché situations.
I can't say it does (as) much (as his paintings) for me, but his music is also pretty interesting. I get a bit of a Radiohead vibe from some of it.

good colors. Guy has a thing for brunette people. Nothing wrong with it though.
He seems to have an preoccupation with omnicience. That doesn't speak for all of his paintings, (that I see here) but the ones he seems to put the most detail (painstaking in some spots) are ones that have people gathering in front of a demigod or gathering in large masses in front of their deity. Priests of Preoccupation gives me the idea that you are their messiah and that YOU are judging them. They present their choice of personal poison on display for you to draw your own conclusion. Interesting. The other indication of omnicience is that he is giving you instant insight of the characters emotions through direct images rather than using facial expressions alone.
