    Hmmmm. Interesting colors. Nice and clean vector look…but WHY? Like whats cool about that? Ok. I get it. I’m old. But this is nothing more than why people have a face full of metal now days. It seems the only "meaning" behind this art is to simply say…HAY LOOK AT ME…I"M DIFFERENT. When in actuality, nobody’s different. We all have our own oddities.

    Ok. So, Yes, You did it. THat art is different. How many will you sell? Just wondering. Again, I’m bothereed by people taking the time to do this nice art style and they will only sell a few. U could take your skills and create art that sells over and over again and you get a cut of that.

    well i just got bored. but i did this how i feel at times with my art as does every artist. im making a weekly feeling into something i enjoy doing. this is not my love. fine art, realism is where i spend all my time and take it seriously. this is a way for me to take time out of charcoals and paints and have fun with other media. dont be so serious and just enjoy all the designs on this site theyre all amazing.

    This illustrates what fine artist feel working with natural media there is no undo, often after hours and even days one little fuck up can bring the whole thing down...of course the natural reaction is to kill that asshole pencil.

    I have actually done this before, not threw my hand of course but pencil stabbing. I survived, the pencil did not, ever since I used inks, true story.

    for the doodle try to stab the back of the hand, not the palm.

    I dont think it needs the exit wound or the tip of the pencil- dya know what i mean? When i reinact this with my own hands it seems physically impossible to get the pencil to do that. love it though holmes!

    Is it just me or the perspective of the tip of the pencil looks, weird?

    Great work though.

    i think you should have showed some pencil color on the exit wound area, but besides that, great concept, and great usage of colors.

    yeah i totally agree. i realized it after something was said that realistically the pencil wouldnt exit that way at all so there are some changes coming soon!

    Godmachine was spot on. Take the tip of the pencil out.

    i like it...i think that the pencil isnt right tho...?!

    the pencil isn’t going right through the hand but that doesn’t make it wrong. It looks like its piercing the thumb muscle and I actually like the perspective!! I really enjoy this shirt especially after i heard it was called artist block. Who doesn’t feel like impaling their hand with a #2 during a freakout sesh?

    I’d like to see blood dripping from the pencil and not a red colored in pencil tip.

    GOOD WORK!
