    Im not as bad as I use to be. I slowed down quite a bit actually. Im not posting as much as I use to. Taking it easy. I love it here and everyone in it. I love art and the expressions behind them. This is great outlet for art addicts like me.

    nice, a different style to the one you’ve adopted recently, still got the message behind it though :)

    Thanks Ryan, yeah it’s a useful technique to mix a playful element – in this case marbles, with a hard edged image of death. The message is the same as my AK47 design, kids should be playing with toys not weapons. This applies to child soldiers in African countries as well as our own situation with the endless stream of kids killing kids in London at the moment.

    This is super!

    Actually, I find this one betterer than your first in the series also. Disturbing work Ruby, not nearly as fun as ‘stephaniek’ realises.

    what a terrific idea you’ve had for this one
    your ideas are very refreshing, i like the way you think outside the square!

    Yes, this is definitely my favourite of the two to date. Chilling.

    Yeah thanks sjem, not sure it’s my most ‘fun’ shirt??!!

  • rubyred

    rubyred in reply to Karin Taylor’s comment, 6 months ago

    Thanks very much Karin, sometimes I think I live outside the square!

  • rubyred

    rubyred in reply to Cathie Tranent’s comment, 6 months ago

    Hey Cathie thanks. Yeah it’s disturbing seeing kids stuff mixed with darker elements, effective though I hope.

  • Cathie Tranent

    Absolutely!!

    Helen Bascom, 6 months ago

    Scary work, but important to address an issue most of the world would rather not address. Evil people populate this Big Blue Marble. What can I do to help these children?

  • Magda Beda

    Magda Beda, 6 months ago

    LOVEEEEEEEEE!

  • BlueKnot

    BlueKnot, 6 months ago

    Very cool; nicely done. How’d you think of such a thing?

  • rubyred

    rubyred in reply to BlueKnot’s comment, 6 months ago

    Hey BlueKnot, thanks for the comment. I’ve done a 2 shirt series based on mixing kids elements with a darker harder visual like guns and death. Have a look at my other shirt and read the description. Thanks again
