Yesterday I saw the movie by Gadeon and Jules Naudet, which was meant to become a documentary about a probie and ended as a documentary about September 11th. Well, it's a breathtaing movie which stirred up many emotions..

nice work android, really interesting how you've woven the september 11th into your portait.

uh, yeah. most powerful and broad I have seen yet. beautiful.

[Ochre Face]

last year, when the videos of the planes hitting the towers were streamed over the internet, there was an illusion of a large face being puffed out into the smoke. (dubbed the face of evil) your portrait reminds me of this eerie vision...

you gotta leave more then a comment then "." for a piece of this manner.
A picture can speak for itself, but never tells the whole story.

great piece though.

[killing.people]

mine was silence in respect.
i think that is what android ment as well, not certain.

Hi Andrew, I don't know how you are able to make so much great work and so frequently but I am in awe of you. And this latest painting has such force and emotion and I think sincerity, I am just surprised you do not need a break. You have stamina and talent way beyond most and that includes me.

-Joshua

btw...reminds me a bit of cubism ...u know its funny ive always liked the idea of cubism but ive yet to see a piece i like...weird

[JoshuaTheJames]

you know....and i dont mean to boost your ego like this ;) buuut this ones going in the history books!!!!

[Smeagol71]

Here's one time where an old cliche fits the bill...a picture IS worth a thousand words. Good job Andrew, this sums up what a lot of us were feeling the other day.

[gypcc]

Brokencow - thanks, did you make a portrait today? I look forward to seeing your progress.

nacho, pure thanks

gekitsu- there was alot of chaos going on inside my hear and around the world.

motorowl- thank you very much

taff - thank you, I had been thinking about how i was going to one for a few days now, I wish i would have made one last year :( so I could compare it to this one. It feels like yesterday but my emotions about it have changed so much that I can feel the time. I decided not to persue any premeditated idea and just concentrated on how I felt at that moment as an extention of how I saw myself in the mirror.

killing.people I appreciate your interpitation of the "." thank you for your respect.

AfroLaxMan- Im sure Kevin had a very powerfull day.his courage and comitment to his decisions are inspiring.

jeremy I saw that face of evil too. that was a bad photoshop job, this was a bad painter job. the face I saw last night was not one of evil but one twisted by evils actions. I belive the whole event unleashed an overwhelming amount of evil into our world.

Davi - I made this becaues I couldant put my emotions into words, too many emotions too many memories. and they all seemed to be conflicting, it makes a better painting than a paragraph. I like to leave you free sometimes for the painting to spreak to you without the infringment of my interpitation.

bytemap - we remember, some celebrate, some try to forget. Im afraid it consquences will be imposible to ignore.

Parasite7 - neither did I.

Jon - Thank you. We share mutual respect of eachother.
Ill tell you one of my secrets, Its all in how you percive time and its relationship to the world around you. in meditation one tries to place oneself in the moment, when that point is reached the past and the future become irrellivant, it has not been my focus. This is my meditation and I try not to concentrate one how many I have made or will make, only on one, one every day.
hands are a temporary attachment to our soul. they will break, someday I will break, a break is inevitable. I make no promises for the future, but I can gaurentee thet my hands are not going to break tonight, and neither am I.
However i am concerned with one thing, I notice myself getting uglier and older every day, maby someday I will look in the mirror and it will break. when the time comes I hope I will know when the trip is done.
I know that you have it in you if you put your mind to it, everyone does,
honestly without this comunity and everyones feedback at intrest there are days that I would have probably given up. my thank goes out to everyone. besides Oblio would never forgive my and Keyth would probably wrap his headphone coards around me neck.:)

Joshua- that depends on who writes the history book when this is all over. but thank you. It will definately go in my scrapbook,
cubism? interesting interpitation, Picasos Cubism was about simultanelouly representing multiple planes of space on one image from many diferent perspectives,
this piece was comprised from multiple emotions from many diferent perspectives simultaneasouly represented in one image. so in essence it is a mental derivitive of cubism. cool huh art school retoric pays off agian. you just made my next student loan
payment feel meanigfull.

Smeagol71 - I was very concerned about the cliche issue, I knew that was a risk when I started but it is was imposiable for me to avoid, If I avoided it I would have been ignoring it, ignorance is very dangerous. especialy with a subject matter of this magnitude.

gypcc I can feel your hurt and it means so much to me. you were in my mind while I was making this, your in my heart and my prayres. thank you so much for your response ,

rubygenesis - thank you, I did not expect such a powerfull sesponce


closing.

If I can find one piece of blue sky behind the clouds it is this. spet 11 has made me take a much harder and deeper look at myself and the world around me. the more I look at it with eyes unclouded the less I like what i see. pain carries more curancy than ignorance. I took too much for granted before for too long. it changed my mentality on my mortality. if that change hadent occoured you wouldant be reading this.

[xnku]

i was afraid you were going to do something like this for the 11th... :/

[Android]

xnku - I do apoligize, and understand your dissipointment, I would be very interested in seeing the effect this event has on your work, your images are amazing you can take color shape and beautifuly ambiguious forms to evoke emotions, I am prone to relying on tangiable symbols, I could learn alot from seeing more of your work, thank you for your honesty.

[xnku]

no need to apologize at all.
just brought back the memories, sights, sounds, and smell. very powerful piece.

thanks so much for the compliments too. i've learned a lot from your work as well, i finally will have some free time to dig deep into painter, your work definitely will be an inspiration to whatever it is i create.

i've been working on client work only for a long time, will be nice to work on some personal stuff. i'll keep you posted.
