desolation swamped my useless embrace

Not much hope for this one, but whatever... it's something new.

Leave some love if you like it. If not, I'll take a pity vote. Hah...

Thanks for dropping by.

bumpin!

francobolli on Nov 10 '10 at 12:25am

bumper to bumper.

parallelish on Nov 10 '10 at 12:28am

sooooo good 8)

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 10 '10 at 1:12am

So damned collassal...can't decide if i love the shirt or title of the shirt more....win win!

francobolli on Nov 10 '10 at 2:09am

Thanks so much. Most appreciated.

The title / image spawned from a pretty melancholic place but I'm pleased it's translated into other interpretations. That's the beauty of art... not that I'd be so presumptuous to call this "art" as such (it was just sketchbook doodle really)... but fact remains, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

jeffreyg on Nov 10 '10 at 7:12am

bump

Simon, I am quite glad to see you here and subbing again.

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 10 '10 at 11:38pm

It's art to me, bro.

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 4:22am

coffeecandle on Nov 11 '10 at 4:28am

I love it!

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 8:53am

Jeff & Randy - what would I do without you guys? Thanks for the bumps / support, my bros from other mos.

Jyotsana - I'm glad you're glad. It's just nice to be subbing again, let alone feeling appreciated from lovely comments like yours. Thank you.

Evan - that's kind of you, mate. I always admire your generous critique of people's work, taking it beyond one mere adjective. A critique like yours, even if it is subjective, is a real treat.

Amber - thanks! Btw, the more I've looked at your photo of the two ladies gossiping in Rome, the more I've fallen in love with it. Just terrific!

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 9:18am

you'd be doing a lot more art! haha. less distraction! :P

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 9:36am

haha, damn it. you've got a point there. stop being such good company! :-P

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 9:37am

hahahahaha. YOU stop being good company!

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 9:38am

no wait, don't stop. :)

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 9:40am

what are you talking about? i'm tough mean barstard.

hah.

agrimony on Nov 11 '10 at 9:42am

really beautiful!

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 9:42am

uh huh. you're such the opposite of that. heh

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 9:50am

Cheers agrimony. I noticed you went to Oslo not long ago. Did you get the chance to see the new Norwegian Opera & Ballet precinct? Reason I ask is because I've just completed a submission for architectural design that outlines the significant character of a particular building - I happened to choose that one. It looks fantastic and the concept is brilliant. Would love to see it in person.

Randy, you're not doing any favours in keeping my feeble reputation of being cool and badass. Hah.

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 9:53am

ignore my last post everyone! simon is the biggest badass out there! so much badassery!!!

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 10:01am

*badass booty shake*

badassness... foiled.

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 10:04am

*looks away*

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 10:10am

desolation swamped my useless badass...

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 10:12am

sequel? :P

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 10:16am

perhaps that would be too tragic.

alright buddy, i'm gonna crash. have a good one!

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 10:19am

have a good night!

Steve The Great on Nov 11 '10 at 10:19am

worrrrd

ir0cko on Nov 11 '10 at 5:09pm

come on, folks. you know you want to score this!

blossompossum on Nov 11 '10 at 6:25pm

Badass booty shake... does that have anything to do with the Stone Roses?

francobolli on Nov 11 '10 at 8:16pm

It can if you want it to be. :-D

Admittedly, I had to google Stone Roses...

blossompossum on Nov 11 '10 at 8:19pm

I'm not really sure why I associated the Stone Roses with a particularly badass booty shake. My thought process seems to be entirely non-linear. However, they're still relevant to booty-shaking! Or stoner-swaying, or whatever...
