Starving Artist Sale pictures - Stoned and starving. / I like this very much. Brillant technique match. / I second Newsy.. excellent attention to artistic detail and style.

Artistic Freedom pictures - Ansel Adam's School of Painterization / Solid premise, but those colours aren't very surreal. / Sorry Chris, Ansel Adams wasn't a surrealist. / Granted, but the theme of the contest is to create surreal images, by changing something's colour to something unusual
Street Artist pictures - / I love this one, it is very clever. the expression is great. / Nice chop. Wish I could see the utensil he's using to draw with would be my small quibble. / UB I guess you're not an artist. It's a piece of charcoal. Awesome work.
Dog Artist pictures - "Don't tell him, but I actually made a portrait of his sister..." source

Da VinciTattoo Artist pictures - Leon "Inky" DaVinci opened a shop in NYC. Now The Learning Channel wants to do a reality show based on his inkwork. / Real nice work. Sunglasses are a great touch. / The head looks well integrated with other parts of the head, but seems to stand apart from the body
Artist on Strike pictures - I'm gonna be here forever, what was I thinking. / I know how you feel. BUT, I think this may be a very, long, long, strike. If it is any consolation, this is one of your best works. / Thanks c00p. I figure if I want a sweep, I'll make the first 3 entries and stare at my stats with a smile. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3. That will last until there are more entries and voting starts. / I'd go on strike to, but it to much fun watching us choppers try and out do the Rainman. I plan on staying here until I get a brain. / , you got me laughing even without having my first cup of coffee. / I'm still trying to find my mojo..I lost somewhere...
Mime Artist pictures - / Not bad, but the intensity of colors may need slight decrease. / Very good idea and I liked the colours intensity toobut not in the blue color in the coat. The dark areas deserved better treatment in the shadows of the coat's sewings must have a darker tone. / Too vivid...the frame is also too large..
