Description Never again! Never again! Two weeks in Moscow, -35C, four root canals, two crowns, first solo exhibition and a heartbreaking farewell at the airport.

I'm now back to comatose sunny LA. Homesick and jetlagged.

Ta-ta.

PS. I've explained myself in my later pieces. Feel free to ignore those. However, if youโ€™d like to buy this print or something from here [link] , please, let me know, myownself@gmail.com.

Are you some kind of liberal pussy ? do you vomit at the sight of blood ?
She makes Moscow ( the greatest capitol in the world ) look like a bad place just becuase she is a fucking weakling and cant take the pain for a few days. Dude , i am from russia myself. And i dont thinck that having blood on my face is "displeasent". i find it an exuse to go kick somebodys ass. anyway you need to shut the fuck up , grow a dick and get a life. peace.

A definate favourite! I love the silhuettes in your eye, and the look on your face.

io really understand within myself all the different things that this oculd mean, all the places this could come from. That fact that it speaks to everyone differentlymeans it's a truly great piece of artwork!

But why did you have to get the dental work there? Only two weeks, right? or do I just not understand dentistry at all? root canals are mean. T^T and in Russia....maybe very scary (. _.)

mediocremind In reply to ??? [2006-03-03 18:35:14 +0000 UTC]

The thing that caught my eye first from this image, as it was poped up in the Deviation of the day box were the eyes. And upon closer inspection, i was right.

Those eyes hold so mych sadness, so much fear, that it just oozes from the image and into the heart of those who view it. The blood around the finger nails was an amazing touch...it's like the person in the image was trying to break free, then gave up, their sense of getting home leaving them, knowing that they are truly trapped where they are.

The model theirself is very beautiful , and is so enrapt in this pose that i don't think any other model could have done it as well as they could. Whoever they are, you picked the right person.

I am defintaly this, for the sheer beauty of the person in front of the camera, and the way the person behind the camera caught their power.

Much love
--Chris

I don't know how you took a photograph like that. The texture on the face seems painted, i was expecting to see this under 'traditional art'. I still love it
