@@rubo1964 Theres a reason after all that portraits began to fall off once we had the first camera. I think it's important to try and find the middle ground. I get that people think certain art pieces are easy to make or silly and others that think its an ignorant position to hold because of xyc. I think its too easy to just see it in black/white. The readymade art of Duchamp is a good example. You could argue that its either just lazy and uncreative or you could say that it challenged the way we look at art and made maybe millions of people think about what it really is that makes it "art". I personally dont have that answered for me quite yet. We can all agree on the fact that those "dentist paintings" that are mostly abstract acryl or oil paintings are definitely not as easy to make as the majority of people say.

The hardship you endured to do the piece is so relatable to me I have Asperger’s syndrome and every drawing I start I just lose my mojo and never finish it. You have created a thing of beauty. Thank you for sharing your art and you journey.

[@jensingerlady]

Jono, you succeed in zooming in closer than a magnifying glass for your detail, and the result is absolutely poetic. I have never seen anything more intriguing.

[@leonaystudios9809]

When I'm just starting to feel good about my own art skills I watch your videos and see I'm leagues behind. You're an absolute legend mate

[@racoon_in_ankhmorpork]

I love that this drawing has so many layers to it. You have the stunning hyper realistic image it portrays, the meaning it carries (which most probably varies from person to person), the incredible amount of work it took, and the immense emotional and mental toll it took to make this. Your patience is admirable, if I had to stare at my own art for any more than a few days I’d go crazy, and I make geometric shit that isn’t even that artsy, not realistic stuff. Congratulations for making such an eye catching piece (sorry for the word play), with such an enormous input that you can see not only from the precision, but also just the general feel of it. It is unimaginably beautiful, I applaud you for your skill and care in all the art I’ve seen by you, especially this one.

I'm working on a drawing from a picture I took of my dogs eye with the reflection of my other dog in it. I lost them both and while challenging for me emotionally I hope by the end to find it cathartic in helping me make peace with my grief. People don't understand how much of ourselves we truly put into our work, they are literally reflections of our souls. Don't let ANYONE that's incapable of doing what you do tell you how to do it! You will ALWAYS find success in staying true to yourself! This piece and your story behind it has inspired me even more to see it thru, thank you 🙏💚

Just a beautiful piece of work, and I recognise your frustration and despair over finishing your work. Many times I have to give up and then go back when refreshed and inspired to carry on with a different perspective. It must be very frustrating if you are totally financially dependent on your work. I wish you well and try not to get too frustrated, have complete breaks, walk in the countryside and refresh your mind!

I cannot put into the right words to describe this MASTERPIECE. Like other comments made, people have paid millions for so called works of art that look like a child did it. I’ve seen a piece of artwork that sold for millions and it was basically a red circle on a canvas! This piece is truly priceless. I don’t know if I could have parted with it if I was the artist! Just magnificent artwork!!
