I mean, I'll stare at Dave's work for an embarrassing amount of time, whether it's a hippo, a super model, or a door knob. He has that "certain something" in his line-work that just makes my jaw drop and my eyes bug out. I actually love the model stuff because of how ornate the clothing and accessories are, giving him more chance to strut his stuff. But I think it really shines for some reason on animals, especially wrinkly beings like elephants and so forth. <br />Slumbering Agarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926670297818515972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-47998962746844199042012-09-27T08:29:14.786-05:002012-09-27T08:29:14.786-05:00Aw, c'mon Dave, so some people didn't like...Aw, c'mon Dave, so some people didn't like the fashion stuff (personally, I didn't find it all that interesting on the surface, however much I enjoyed the artwork - I made a point of saying so publically on a few occasions - but that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it, eh?) but so what? I'd think you'd be used to the criticism . . . Ah, well. I guess it's difficult not to take it personally.Eric Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092745122835543138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-24948959441015583612012-09-27T00:38:28.275-05:002012-09-27T00:38:28.275-05:00@ Kathy -
it reminds me a little bit of that Char...@ Kathy - <br />it reminds me a little bit of that Charles Bukowski poem, "Genius of the Crowd" if may be so cliche as to post it here -<br /><br />beware those who are quick to censor,<br />they are afraid of what they do not know.<br />beware those who seek constant crowds, for<br />they are nothing alone.<br />beware the average man, the average woman,<br />beware their love, their love is average,<br />seeks average.<br />but there is genius in their hatred.<br />there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you,<br />to kill anybody.<br />not wanting solitude,<br />not understanding solitude,<br />they will attempt to destroy anything<br />that differs from their own.<br />not being able to create art,<br />they will not understand art,<br />they will consider their failure as creators<br />only as a failure of the world.<br />not being able to love fully<br />they will believe your love incomplete,<br />and then they will hate you,<br />and their hatred will be perfect<br />like a shining diamond,<br />like a knife,<br />like a mountain,<br />like a tiger,<br />like Hemlock -<br />their finest art.<br />Slumbering Agarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926670297818515972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-4419878766952703472012-09-26T22:31:37.745-05:002012-09-26T22:31:37.745-05:00I love Dave's comment about how it often seems...I love Dave's comment about how it often seems all people live for is killing other people's things. Amazing if people could be more supportive of one's dreams throughout time.

Such an amazing lineage between those two greats. <br /><br />Dave is either modest out the wazoo, or doesn't realize how amazing his stuff is. I guess that's the mark of a great artist though, that strive to improve and reach new heights, never settling. <br /><br />Awesome stuff here, thanks to whomever maintains this blog for giving the rest of us the opportunity to read this material, it's very appreciated.
