Nice Ryan. She's got a certain uh "sex" appeal to her which means you did a great job. Not trying to be a pig or anything, but look at those eyes!

This is great, Ryan. I love that heart-shaped hat thing on her head. I don't know what to call that. And the colors are perfect, as is always the case with your work. When the whole card deck's done, I'll buy one.

Hey Ryan... This is great... I dig the colours and the added cracks... really nice piece... oh... and PEACE!

This is a great one. I love the palette and repeated shape themes. She's got a great face. Real personality in there. Dunno why I keep seeing celebrities in your work, but I feel a touch of Natalie Portman in there.

I'm hanging her up on my wall next to the Queen of Diamonds.

Tim Bye said...

Seriously Ryan, a whole deck of these would be marketable. Card players and artists would collect them. This is so beautiful.
