today i was thinking about GOD, and it overwhelmed me. all of my emotions were at overload and I broke down. I was crying and laughing in agony at the same time . my mind was streached past its limits of understanding.
I drew this to remind me of that moment.

Damn man, this one is right powerful. My new favorite, definately. Damn your colors lately, I love the colors in this one.

God or god, is something to think about......

nice pic as always! and yeah, the whole god issue is weird and overwhelming at the same time. i wonder if its better just to ignore that facet of life like ive been doing or force myself to decide i need something to believe in. id rather just do what ive been doing, but i can see how spirituality can comfort people greatly from all those what if's and why's. but, if i recognize that im believing in it for a reason outside of simply believing, how can i ever fully believe in it? how can i just blind myself from knowing my motivation... ...damn those nagging thoughts...

intense! oie!

Finally an intense expression. I was beginning to worry, knowing that you "play the life of an addicted" (14 hours of drawing) and you are always back in your boots at the time of your portrait (except for some falling teeth nightmares, a rocked night and so on, few exceptions).
I was waiting to see you free in front of your mirror - without thinking forward like "I should look ok for my viewers".
I don’t know if you had the chance to see that short movie made with a camera placed behind the mirror of an elevator.
People are amazing when they are really free.
They say that God is always looking for a place where His angel to land. I've started to learn drawing with one only thought - to become an "airport". It's nice to see your last angel, Andrew. Thank you.

...Radiant!! It`s like when you look at a Gustav Doré illustration and *boom* it just strikes you. very powerful indeed.

I hear ya A.J. ...
Overwhelming experience ain't it?
I like the look (artistically speaking ) of your soul this time 'round. Vibrant colors...striking brush work.
Quite symbolic of what one can go through in a theophany.
Thumbs up.

God cannot be understood. God can only be lived.

I hiked up half-dome in Yosemite this past weekend. It was a very spiritual experience. Why does it take such a harsh trial before a little humanity can freely flow from one person to another?

Just my 2 cents.

Great drawing, Andrew!

congratz davi

and oh my... mr. jones this is one awesome portrait!
a lot of emotions coming through the brushtrokes. what an energy is in this brushwork!
whoah...

it totally remembers me of the feeling i once had when looking in the mirror (i think i was shaving), staring intensively...
and when seeing my eyes, staring into themselves, the thought crossed my mind that somewhere behind those eyes is the "myself". something hidden inside of fleshly matter that defines as my inner self.
the thought about that "myself" and that this "myself" is now thinking about himself and the definition of "myself" made my brain bluescreen.

Oh God...

i love it...its so free. i love that so free look in art... for some reason i just cant embrace it as my own style, im just to determined to have all my art as super tight and clean... i guess i'm afraid of making it any different.. here's the kicker... do you ever wonder why you exist? i mean really, why are you here, how is that you've come to inhabit the body that you can move...and how come you can't answer that question that you ask yourself...what is existence. how come it is? and how can you not exist... if reality is what you feel physically and emotionaly, how can you ever stop being?
....i try not to think these thoughts, when i do i am overcome with a feeling that is only felt when thinking these things..hmmmm
