ohh! amazing , great sense of space and perspective! love the composition and the emotion in this pic..

Wallace  04/21/06 @588

Another great piece. The distorted perspective works really well. quite emotional too. One minor crit would be that there are too many flying toys in the air for my taste. Excellent + 9

40x50?!?!? good lord dude.....I wish I had time to work on pieces that big! +10

bigkate  04/21/06 @596

Awww! Way to through all of the nostalgia toys out the window! (is that bodyglove he's wearing???) Very cute one Matty.

astemu  04/21/06 @661

very nice

Diane  04/21/06 @753

Excellent perspective! Very good one +10

LolaRisinghorn  04/21/06 @764

Gosh, you seem to have this great feel for perspectives. I think this is a good dynamic piece with lots left to discover. How about throwing us a WIP some time, would love to see how your work eveluates into the final result.

trevorm  04/21/06 @798

What a great painting. I'm with Wallace about the number of distractions--especially the three large leaves near the top-left. Fun. And great perspective!

Madanapale  04/21/06 @857

Beautiful work Matthew....Great perspective!! Carlos

FakeAccount  04/21/06 @859

Wow...great perspective and lots of depth to this piece. I like the concept too. But while I like the orangy lighting on the leaves, I feel their angle between their stems and their surface is too sharp so they don't seem to be floating or flying.

ARZILLIER66  04/21/06 @890

super! 8/8

PJClapp  04/22/06 @970

Thanks everyone going to look into taking some of the leaves out. Also a WIP. Thanks again.

I have never been able to give 10 until today and what a fiting person to give it to. you hit home with the memories, and the want to be a little bit more like you.

slaphapy5  04/22/06 @127

love all of your drawings. they bring back great memories ... thats what makes them so amazing. and your style gives it so much more as well. +10 Mark

coladelight  04/22/06 @197

Parachuters away! LOL I agree with  slaphapy5 about bringing memories...Ah, the joys years gone by Good work on the bird's eyeview perspective and yeah...just too many "floaters" but still very good composition! Maridol

minion-md  04/22/06 @283

Very awsome perspective here. Well done. I remember my parachute fascination when I was a child.. Great job!

Jane  04/22/06 @320

Wow, I think this is really well done. The combination of small details (the textured grass, for example) and simply coloured faces (the cloth over the toys for example) is cool. The colours are bright and fits with my imagination of this your childhood memory. Good idea to make a series like this!

WarrenLouw  04/22/06 @380

very cool illustration style!

Gianna23  04/22/06 @655

I LOVE it! The concept is really sweet. Makes you just want to go up to those boys and say REMEMBER THIS it will make you smile 20 years from now! Full marks!

Fyralath  04/22/06 @690

Awesome!

PJClapp  04/22/06 @707

Thanks everyone im glad this one has gone over so well. I did some fixing to it by request. I took out the leaves in the upper left i think it opened it up alot more. Hopefully it looks better, thanks again.

ThruMyEyez  04/22/06 @734

Wonderful perspective!! A great childhood series!

Valera  04/22/06 @771

bluewaterkidd  04/22/06 @845

Wow! This is so awesome! I think I will do this today!

patrickdeza  04/23/06 @115

well done man, i also like the memories of childhood =) just a question: why are the lines of the house (which are curves in this 5 point perspective) like this. i mean the vanishing point is in the center of this artwork. shouldnt they be the other way around? whatever +10

teseracto  04/23/06 @199

great again! i use to do that, and now im going to trow one to the window (really).

Kuewa  04/23/06 @430

really nice camera angle, theres nothing specifically that sticks out to me as exceptional or crappy, it just all works together very well

billygoat3000  04/23/06 @471

hahaha....The Berenstien Bears, that's cool.

OnPix-Artist  04/23/06 @660

WONDERFUL !!!! (max vote)

piciART  04/24/06 @974

Cool.... Very like the angle..and you style...very unique!!! Nice work!!

patrix77  04/24/06 @238

Beautiful

PJClapp  04/24/06 @659

Thanks everyone. Panda89, To answer your question im not sure, hehe. Alot of times when im distorting the perspectives I really just eye ball it and go for what looks good to me at the time. Thanks for asking hopefully it looks ok the way it is.

kittyKat  04/24/06 @683

GuillaumeLeTual  04/24/06 @794

Squeaky  04/27/06 @011

Here you are, taking off, becoming elite, immediately getting your art to the #1 Elite spot.... dont let it get to your head! OK jk you deserve it. Your pictures are so engaging, you get sucked into them.

Loakers  04/29/06 @170

Very VERY nice piece, this put a smile on my face! I love it, brings back some great memories! heck! i might go chuck one out my window now! The colour, solidity and perspective in this really add that sense of adventure to it, very striking and warm! nice one man.

davidious  05/02/06 @404

This is a great perspective here. Reminds me of my childhood too...nice work.

vagrantsoul  05/03/06 @787

We all have childhood memories like these and they are priceless. Speaking of priceless, the look on the brown toy's face is glaring back at them as if to say "I hate you! Why me?!" is hilarious. Loving the toy dog in the dress too. It all reminds me of how cruel I was to my toys when I was younger. Great work!

billmund  05/08/06 @204

awesome man, i was always look at your stuff and wonder how the hell u do that on photoshop, the details are awesome too +9

PJClapp  05/09/06 @210
