You know, I actually prefer the cropping in your sketchbook images. The detailing is amazing! I really don't like the pink circle, I think it reminds me of ps lens flare. I wanna see a cropping like long and skinny or short and wide...I think that would be fabulous. But yeah, your detailing is lovely :]

meredith i like the sketchbook more-so also. you know the original was wider, at a 1.5 ratio... maybe you'd like that one better. http://adorablecreature.com/images/DayMaker_1000px.jpg - but yeah i don't know why at the last moment i felt that the extra bits on the edge were too much, but now i see for balance purposes shouldve left them there. thanks for noticing the details too :]
about the pink at the top, i wanted to expand more so on it but i just wasn't feeling it. i think i might... only turn the perspective around and focus from that area with daymaker far off in the background.. but hmmm... thats just an idea and those things are fleeting lately :b
Such an amazing piece. I really don't know what else to say about this, as you already know how much I think of this piece.
My only suggestion? Crop off the sides.

meredith Thanks Sean, i do like the blank sides, it adds to the vastness that i wanted to incorporate to the overall concept, but i also like it cropped as well.
This is incredible. The quality is astounding. I'm sitting here thinking, \"shit, now that's art!\"
I also love how you use yourself in your photos. You either a) must enjoy your exotic beauty or b) don't know anyone to model for you. Still very cool. I wish I could use myself more in art. :) Very inspiring.

meredith Thanks so much for your kind words. I just like to express myself, my thoughts and how i feel. and who better to do than through me (& no copyright/legal issues). I simply use myself as the \"figure\" or the \"symbol\" or the \"object\". I am there to take the shot i need for whatever concept/emotion i want to express. Since unfortunately my thoughts are fleeting.
The focus isn't me but rather just a \"human\" figure. I live to create thought provoking pieces that are open to much interpretation. get peoples head gears spinning :]
You'd be surprised how different i actually look, Photoshop can do wonders ;]
Making the days.
