This is really creative, Paola! It looks like something from a movie. #6228173Michelle Alton July 25, 2008

He's a story unto himself. This is not too dark at all. It's haunting but in a fairy tale kind of way. Beautiful. Stunning. #6238229Vladan D. Djordjevic July 30, 2008

:) thank you very much Colleen,Aggie,Deborah,Vladan,Melissa and Jane for your wonderful comments and encourgement :)Laura E. Swan August 19, 2008
Yes! I agree with Michelle! This totally rings bells of a novel cover! MARVELOUS creation Paola!!!Maybe it could be called something like:
"The Paper Boy"
Or as a photograph it could be called:
1) Go Into The Light
2) Away From The Light
or a humorous title like:
2) I'm Baaaack!
Really love this one. What a great job. Wish I knew how you did this! -Laura #6335308
paola A. Jofre August 22, 2008
thank you very much Laura :) !!! Love your titles btw :)...thank you...I wish I could remember how I did this one:)...often when I work on a new image and technique I just go with the flow and don't think about it or write it down...usually on the second image I start writing things down :) I do remember knowing what I where I wanted the boy and how I wantd the house to look...i had to cut up the house a bit and work on the boy.....i get frustrated with myself when I see an image in my mind and have a hard time getting out there...it takes me a bit..but I did achieve what I first saw with this little guy :) #6350920Lisa J. Boulden August 29, 2008
