More from my new series of paintings...this one alittle more involved. It IS A WORK IN PROGRESS...all the words at the bottom are to be rearranged and more to be added. COMMENTS wanted.
Does it need to say more? less?

Commie is not a race and this is not a painting.
Response for the thinking man.

Deep subject, but I like the way you've presented it. Very thought provoking, I mean it's a very nasty (for lack of a better description at present) word. Looking at the bottom 2 rows where all are the same I felt comfortable, but the top row sort of has you in a muddle as to which figure to look at.
That's what I found.
It's a real subtle way to put questions in my head, you playing with my mind man!!!!!
I don't know what response you were looking for but you have nailed the provoking emotion/thought part very well.
(I didn't initally look at the bottom words much, perhaps it they were bigger this would bring more, then again if you dropped them would that emphasise the impact of your images?)
Either way I like it, show it with pride!

Commie can be a slur for russians. Good enough for me.
This isn't a paiting? please define your definition of painting.
I agree that it is not your typical painting or your typical art...but to me...that is what makes it art...that is what makes it a great painting. Personally.
I used photoshop and actually painted quite alot. |

Very nicely done!.. I understand completely the message you are displaying here. Nature isn;t racist, but what human minds have created can be racist. Nice rendering too!

Why not vary how the little guys look instead of just changing their colors? Give them more detail (some pubic hair for synj), but similar body types. Then show their skeletons, still different, but not quite as radically different as their bodies. Then show the identical brains. I think this would help emphasize that though we are different on the outside, that on the inside, where it counts, we are very much the same.
Just a suggestion.

I fear the end is near for fish with no hip burrito.
