I would like to say here that through my years of looking and
collecting art that there are many different levels and aspects that
each artist has that they put into their work and the best ones to me
has been the ones that gives that efort to bring their creation to be
as lifelike as possible....
It may sound corney but like with jim's art he to me is on a level
of what Davinchi has done with his creations. And Scrapper don't put
yourself down because trust me you do have talent in your own right
and never tell yourself otherwise... Art is never bad because one
person may not like it another might...
