Yeah Nick. It's very sad, but unfortunately preprogrammed if someone marked down their life just on the physical beauty...

i love the raw tension in this one! you really have a talent for creating a story, that can be interpreted differently through many different eyes of your audience. thats what art is to me, is i have my meaning to this piece, but others can find an element they confide in with it! your expresions are uncanny nick, very skillfully done.

NickYoungArt ::

May 23, 2010

That's very kind of you to say, Michael. I'm finding the process of conceiving an idea to its final refinement deeply fascinating.

I was actually trying to tell you that I've been looking for something to express frustration and your teeth did it :-) I don't know what was wrong, but I couldn't type any text in the send message box a couple of hours ago. Take care, Joyce
