Fink, photography is not really my kind of thing, but I think your line art is just so beautiful and elegant. I really love your drawings. I know you wanted criticism, but all that really comes to mind, is that your lines are so nice and expressive, that I would leave out the pointilism element, and maybe some of the hatching. Otherwise, I'm charmed.

i think that you are in a good direction i absolutely love the gritty gareotype <spell check on line 2 please> effect that youve pulled off in the black and whites. perhaps if you could accentuate that a bit, maby by fucking up the edges or something. the shoestring boustiatdjgfhzxfjd um...bra thing....is so comical and clever. the subject matter of some of the photography is missing something however, i think. it feels a little forced, and a little to........um......goth. I apreciate the asthetic, infact i love the asthetic, but like any medium of creativity the truely great work, though coming from someone in a subculture should grip any audience in some way or another, granted that grip might border on (or be fully in the relm of) repulsion. it should still demand an effect. it should hold in it somewhere a universal truth that connects everyone. I have a hard time with this whole thing myself only kind of oppisate. my work is maily about my external feelings about the condition of the world...about the universal truth itself. but I have an EXTREAMLY hard time personalizing it, or dealing with my internal self through my art. when ever i try it seems like decadant catharsis...and catharsis alone, no matter what anyone says, makes for bad art.

of course all of this is solely my own opinion and an artists should not ever give more than two fucks about what anyone else things about their work...but if what i said helps or sounds good..cool...and if you think im full of shit...also cool. its ultimatly you

Gorgeous work, thanks for sharing it with us...

The chiaroscuro rocks, as do all of the gorgeous goths.

I would like to see more details in the pieces that have a lot of contrast like Peek a Boo, check out some of Mapplethorpes pictures for an example of what I'm talking about.

If you could get some goose bumps to show up in that white light, it would send a shiver right down to my toes.

I would find it interesting if you combined the drawing and the photographs, but it would be an experimental aside.

My hip or your hip as it is, is beatiful, I would prefer a bit more contrast, I can imagine a version of this with some Noveau metal work in the back ground slightly out of focus mimicing the tattoo, I can also imagine a flower doing the same a lily perhaps.

I like the sutle colering you have in the images and I think that is a strong point for you as well as your attention to the lines in the pieces you have a good eye for the lines.

great photographs Thanks
