Lisadee, 7 months ago

I am currently working on a large project, it is to protect a bio diverse hot spot in Manila that is being decimated…..... for logging purposes, the rate of on going animal extinction in the small region alone is mind boggling.

That is precisely what it means to me. x bless.

Great concept : a very meaningful image

Jaybe, 7 months ago

Steven Sandner in reply to Lisadee’s comment, 7 months ago

Beautiful blend of city and nature… Love the perspective and colour tones… How come you don’t respond to your commenter’s? Is it more Artistic to be all quiet and reclusive? Just wondered, because I’m new to redbubble and I have a lot to learn about etiquette here… :-)

Steven Sandner in reply to JenniferB’s comment, 7 months ago

Bradley Hartman, about 1 month ago

So this is the best they can do?
Build giant monoliths to inflate their egos,
Just to erase it from view by polluting it so.

This is why I lost my home?
So man could destroy the land?
To be among many and still be alone?
And to think they say monkeys became man,
I think they’re likely descended from Loons.

Love this, the monkey looking out over man’s creations is so sad and profound. You can’t help but wonder what he sees and what he thinks of what we’ve done. The colors are stark and make a bold statement as they rise from a dark bronze almost to to a stormy gray. I also love the way the two taller buildings disappear into a sky that seems a bit upset to have them poking there. Keep this up, your work is very original.
