MY COMMENTS:
Please don't balk at the title, it might poke fun a bit but I mean no harm. It's an ea<br>est title. It's not quite done, I would like the blues and pinks to be electric bright.

MY QUESTIONS FOR THE GROUP:
What do you think of the composition? Does it strike your eye or is it boring...honesty appreciated.

Good but needs some color depth for me and some 3-d ness if you like.

Can't quite decipher this painting. Looks like letters and steps to something or other. And, forgive me but I don't know who Orlando Jones is so because of that, I'm missing something here.

Is it meant to be an abstract, a Dali-esque painting?

I agree with Toraman...needs some work for depth and maybe even a COI.

I'm with Dana...the title means little to me.

Me too...are we dating ourselves? I dont know who Orlando Jones is. My first and continuing impression of it and I cant really say why, is of Groucho Marx, even without the cigar. Composition wise it reminds me of a playing card, but without the color or cohesion of design that a playing card has. Yes I think it needs some re-thinking of what and how it is presented, so we can appreciate the message.

Hehe.. I know I have a lot of work to do on this one... Orlando Jones is an African-American comedian/actor, also notable for his work in 7-Up's "7-Up Yours" campaign... How to explain this one, let's see it is originally an ink drawing in the regular colors of the 7-Up logo (red and green). I then went into a program to get a negative image of that original drawing, yielding the black, pink and pastel blue image. I have attached that comparison here.

Thanks for the remarks at how confused you all are to this work!!! I wholeheartedly agree! I have to fix it because I like the image and don't want to give up on it just yet... hehe.

PS Corv I thought it was cool that this reminded you of Groucho, tho I myself am partial to Harpo ...
