Hi Moonsman, sorry for this late reply, I wasn't able to visit my own site for quite sometime. Thanks for your comments in my works and saying you liked my abstract and mixed media works. However you found my other works not at par with my previous two sets. I would just like to explain that those still life and nude sets are my regular sketching and drawing exercises so as not to forget my basics in doing art. Thanks for the visit.

That's some wild ideas, I love them. Even like the black and white works, not always easy working in monotones, traditional scrimshaw is like that. I wish more of my clients could expand their likes in subjects outside of realism. I may try doing some surrealism on pendants, see how many folks would like them. Best wishes to you.
