No more violence! This work is dedicated to the 5 killed and
125 wounded people in the recent gun and grenade attack in
Liège (Belgium). Weapons are useless. I ripped the paper and
held it in a different way so that it works with my drawing...

If you wish, you can view the work in progress (part of it)
and some random detail here.

My Pencil Vs Camera works are now featured on CBS News.

A number of things about this:
First off, I have no idea how you got that to line up like it does. Of course, it's difficult for me to do that stuff because I have some shaky hand syndrome, but still.
Second, this is relevant to far more than just those Belgium shootings, this is relevant to every single man, woman and child in the world today, because everyone is at some point in their lives effected by violence. Not necessarily lethal violence, even verbal violence, video game violence, etcetra.
Third, One thousand three hundred thirty seven thumbs up for the little dude with the rope. The world would be such a better place if there were little dudes like him stopping the guns from firing.
Fourth, the shading is wonderful, and I like how you managed to texture the gun handle. And I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there is a little sad face in the small circle above the thumb joint.
Fifth, are those white things in the windows security cameras?
Sixth, you are now on my watch list.
What do you think?

An excellent work. I have seen some of your artwork and I am astonished by every new one.
You are a really creative artist and I barely know anyone who would be able to do better than you, at least in the kind of style of you.
The only thing that really didn't please me was the edge of the paper.
For some reason it makes the picture look sort of "oddish" and also in the preview image it didn't look too well.
I'm still looking forward to more by you and I love the way how you express your creativity. My eyes shout "GIVE ME MOREEEEE!"


(By the way, please don't judge about my lacking "professionall" language or anything, I'm a german and my english is not too good..)

"Weapons are useless."

What about using weapons in self-defense?

Really great work, in many levels, but "Weapons are useless" ?

As clearly illustrated in the above piece of art -although perhaps not as intended - the monochrome naivety of notions such as "no more violence" is restricted to a layer of fantasy that, no matter how well presented, will always contrast with the polychrome that is the real world.
