Very interesting. Beautiful washes...expressive use of media. The 'breaking off' of the figures reminds me of Goodwin's work. The combination of imagery is intriguing. Do I detect justoposition? I really get a sense of a relationship being established between..I dunno...the urban and the rural? Dreams colliding with the grit of reality? Whatever it is...I could look at it for a long time. Keep 'em coming!

Ha!, wow good suprise finding this.. I do have more work @ www.johnbreiner.blogspot.com (these images are 4 plus years old)..

As for the surface space Salinger53,(michael?) i don't work on canvas specifically because i don't feel it. i really can only work on surfaces that have some life to em, thus is why i feel like sometimes leaving blank space is working with it more then filling it in..and at times tougher too..

and i do have prints available for anyone thats interested.. johnbreiner1@gmail.com

I think John's Illustrations are stronger than his paintings. I like the reoccuring themes, very creative. I would like to see more canvas taken up... there seems to be a lot of open and unfilled space.

Keep painting those book covers. that's a good gimmick. Makes your work unique.
Take lessons or get a better artist to tutor you. You need to take some classes in art. You have talent; you just need some more training.

Congratulations on making it this far. Keep going.
