"And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes."
-Senator Ted Stevens

this is a painting that turned into a painting about the internet. for better or for worse, this cultural phenomena has created far-reaching sociological and psychological consequences. a technological wave that no one saw coming, we witnessed the birth of the new great media which will doubtlessly become increasingly prevalent as we progress further into this new century. in turn, it will shape our society and blur the line between reality and virtual reality.

its like 3 feet by 2 and half i think, oil on canvas.

I love how this painting brings together the awsome look of your grafitti, the black and white detailed sketch like aspect of your drawings, and your blending of oil paints into one cool, and thoughtful painting. However, I feel more tubes, and less circles would be more representative of the title. However, I love this, as I do many of your other paintings.

Wicked stuff, can't wait to see it in person.

I don't think I've ever seen a painting about the internet. I've thought there must be some but this is the first I've seen : D (maybe I just havent noticed : P) The contents of the internet seem to be spilling out into the real world like the junk food that so much of it is. I like it!

I like your concept, and your painting style is very energetic and pleasing, perhaps you would like to expand this idea a little bit by incorporating figures into it. I don't know if you do figures, I haven't seen much of you gallery yet, but I think it'd be worth exploring. That is, if you want to ^____^

I adore the swirls around the structured architectural lines.
