i love the fisheye effect...it adds movement and spontanaity(sp?) to the piece. great job!

Cool work, i love your style!
nice composition, nice character, nice colors

well neat, ive always wondered how people colour drawings in in PS and do it so well

thanks everyone.
Glad you like the details Bill. Thats one part of the pieces that takes a while but i really love doing.

great work matt...love the colors and overall feel of this. what are those red pole thingies leaning against the wall? +9

nice..5/5

havent seen you around for ages matt - its great to see youre still alive and kicking

Fascinating composition! I'm not fond of swimming myself, but nonetheless this makes for a refreshing image and entrance to summer.

see a guy tapping his feet into the water.. nice impression
but why cold ?
the fisheye works imo, since it adds to the summer-vibe here
nice style

Thanks Dean, Encujr, Bakatron, Freiz, and Metapuppet.
Dean- the red thingys on the wall are floating noodles they became real big when i was around this age. They really didnt work to good at making people float but they were great for beating other people with and trying to swim them to the buttum of the pool to watch them fly up.
Bakatron- hey buddy still around just been alittle busy you know how it is. I'll shoot you a PM
Ok back to work thanks again everyone

Although there's no stylistic similarity I always think of Rockwells' work when I look at your pieces...you are the architypal American Illustrator, giving us little snapshots from the life of Joe Everyman...a real joy.

haha funny work! wonderful!

thanks Kaduflyer and Vina it means alot.

The colors, the perspective, the structure. Awsome!
I can really learn from this, by looking at it!

+9/9
