These pictures are brilliant I really, really love them!

Do you earn a living in a creative environment?

Thank you, I'm glad you like them. I'm having a lot of fun with these.

To answer your question, I do graphic work for an an auction house (billboards, marketing materials, photography, et cetera). I supported myself selling paintings for three or four years after high school but the necessity of making sales really took the fun out of it.

You are quite, quite talented.  In general.  It's really annoying... ;)

This thread is full of win. I'll try to come up with an idea, but sadly creativity eludes me at the moment.

Lol your paintings make me imagine that you are really fit.

Can you do a girl surfing on snow in a rain storm? (Just because I'd want to print it and put it on my wall) Or does it have to be atheistic?
Otherwise maybe Carl Sagan's quote which is in my post signature thingy?

Do you have a website where you sell your art?  If so feel free to post it.

Btw, the HAF fish is the thing in my avatar...if you want to do another haf one that is oriented to fit on a web banner I could incorporate it into the website when I fix up the style.  Inspiration:  see mission statement http://www.happyatheistforum.com/

How about a picture of God smacking an evolutionist so hard, it turns him back into a monkey?

So I'm guessing your not going to paint my idea/request?

Horus vs. Jesus in the style of Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter
An octopus playing piano, having a sword fight, posting on a forum, and sewing
Zombie Gap cashier
Carl Sagen drinking a cup of coffee, reading the Bible, and chuckling to himself smugly
Teenage Mutant Ninja Accountants
A wall separating church and state

You're a really gifted artist. Keep up the amazing work!
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

I'm extremely flattered by the feedback, guys. I have to warn you though, I am ravenous for primary narcissistic supply (seeing that my peers have all become deaf to the frequency of my speech), so I will probably tug this boat until you are all nauseous with boredom.

I have to apologize on behalf of my cat. I don't think he even tastes it anymore. I know the snow looks a lot like water, but I live in South Florida (a peninsula state within walking distance of the equator [if you are an ant that happens to be traversing the surface of a map]) so please don't hesitate to divvy out some slack.

I do, and I appreciate your inviting me to solicit my wares, but I think this will be more fun if I don't exploit it for traffic.

I'd be happy to put something together for the forum. Let me know when you start reworking the layout, and we'll come up with something a bit more specific.

We didn't come from monkeys, buddy; we came from ill-kempt humans with bad posture. Besides, I'm apprehensive to deepen your retrospective embarrassment when you eventually decide to hit the library, because I have feelings for you. *insert emoticonic kissy-face with extra tongue*

That was great. I remembered the quote because it reminded me that I had forgot to wash my cafetiere and was probably going moldy.

What media do you work in, is it mainly digital or do you work in oils/acrylics?

Hey, I really appreciate that. Please, feel free to jump in with your own ideas.

For these I used acrylic on 14 x 17 in (35.6 x 43.2 cm) heavy-weight bristol paper.

Yeah, that idea is gold. I think I'm going to try to do that one tonight.

I love it! She is hideous!

Oh, good. Well, she certainly isn't centerfold material but she has a lot going against her: she is harboring a partially developed marine biologist in an abdomen that appears to be lacking some fundamental components, she was haphazardly rendered with a candid disregard for human proportions, and she is attempting to pull off a yellow outfit out of season (not to mention her misallocated bust would benefit greatly from a brassier).

Methinks I have a new favorite poster on this site. Not often someone comes along in the anonymity of the interwebz and impresses me so much. You got some serious talent.

I'd like to see a procession of religious sheep/people following jesus/moses/allah/mohammed/pope palpatine/etc... off a cliff into the ocean, ala lemmings.

Edit: Also, Einstein/Hawking/Dawkins/etc... in the background facepalming.

You want ridiculous, huh?

Here's some religious-themed nonsense:


The four horsemen of the apocalypse getting a ride in the back of a hillbilly's pickup truck as he hunts out the window with a double barrel shotgun

An anthropomorphic peanut lecturing the Pope on table manners

A Muhammad blimp flying over the streets of London

A demonic pony watching Tron/Transformers/Thor/whatever in 3D, people in white robes getting ready to attack with holy water
