The Art of Philip Straub

[Shan]

The Waiting and Cohabitation don't appeal to me all that much.

I really like The Deaming Tree, Ghost Train and Walking Man though. And in a way I like Winds of Change. The more I look at it the more it grows on me.

I don't care for Celestial Queen, but I do like Voyager 1. The creature is cool Fille, and the colors are good.

[Shan]

I think it is really funny, the one he spent so much time on Celestial Queen is the one I don't like. ;D

Hey, can we do the series of pictures of Freakmore that you provide the link to? I think they are great. I don't mind doing them if you want.

Sure, go ahead.
I'm not sure what you mean by doing these pics, but I'm sure it's OK, in any case. ;D

[LaFille]

I'm not fond of his blue and fushia/pink mixes like in The Waiting and so. I think that Freakmore might have been even better without the pink... maybe with tones more neutral, less saturated like in his [darker?] works.

As for me, it's Walking Man that grew on me. I didn't like it that much in the beginning, but qualities appear slowly as I look at it.

I'm trying to figure out what insect Voyager looks like...

I just looked through the Thread for the first time, and I must say, I like his work.
A lot of dark pictures, if not sad, they are atleast dark and has a feeling to them that I can really enjoy
He seems to be very active with making new pictures to, that's great If I don't comment on new pictures, PM me, would you, please? Especially if there are some new daaaarkish pictures (and even more so if he decides to make close-up sad pictures)

I looove the Waiting, the colors are magnetising to me! I took the liberty to put it on my desktop, it's just too gorgious not to do so! ;D

[Ubereil]

Bravo! I too like the darker ones. Nice colouring, and very detailed .

Kylia, how did I know that we wouldn't agree on that one? ;D

I don't know ;D Feminine insight?

I don't see any reason why I wouldn't like the colouring in that one, I'm a big fan of all shades of purple. But I guess not everyone likes what I like ;D

[LaFille]

Mobbie & Ube; I'm glad you like.

Gal, I'm glad you love it that much as well. ;D Not a huge surprise, but hey, pleasant nonetheless. ;D

Fille, anything with purple has my attention anyway, after I see the colors, I start looking at the picture itself. Did you know that purple stands for wisdom? ;D ahum ahum ;D

[mobbie]

Purple can be ok, if it's dark purple xD (Darker than your text!! YES!)
As for 'wisdom' .. I do not know and I do not comment xD




* For some reason I keep hitting the modify button instead of the quote button. I am really going to have to start watching that closer. Sorry again mobbie. *

Yeah, purple is OK especially some shades of purple. The picture in question has that pinkish purple that I don't care for though. I guess like you I like a darker more purple, purple.

Hehe, good to know if you go to crowded places... people with you only have to get some purple flag with them and if they lose you, they'll have the mean to make you find them back. ;D

Good idea Fille, but wouldn't it be better if I wore some purple so THEY wont loose ME? ;D

[LaFille]

Hah, but the advantage of the flag is that they would have no effort to make to find or stay with you. ;D

Hmm you are very skilled in hitting the 'modify' button Shan, but it seems you only try to modify me Is this some sort of cyber-bullying
Good that you like the 'more purple, purple' too ;D
