THANKS EVERYONE SUPPORTING ME IN MY ENDEAVORS IT IS GREAT BEING HERE TO ACCEPT THIS GREAT AWARD ALL OF YOU GREAT PEOPLE MAKE ME HAPPY MAKE ME WANT COME BACK DEVIANTART SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMESDELUXE!
This is an astounding image and very worthy of a DD, despite what some very rude individuals might think. There is such an remarkable level of absurdity present in this image, it represents everything that is going wrong with us from the blatant vandalism of the phone booth to the bizarre and rather comic Sponge Bob memorabilia behind, the epitome of American capitalism.
It saddens me how immune to vandalism we have become for people to look at this image and say "So what? I see broken phone booths etc. all the time." What a reflection of our times that society has become so blase and complacent about the destruction of public property. And it is certainly in poor taste to take up their issue with the selection of this piece as a daily deviation in this forum when you had no control over that - it is disturbingly savage in fact.
While I'm not so keen on the technical aspects of it (I blame the age of digital art viewing!), I can only assume that this looks much better in print on a larger scale and it is a shame that I, or the skeptics, cannot see it in that form.
I love the picture, the concept, as well as the fact that its causing so much discussion!
something that drew my attention: your drawn to this colorful/cheerful area in the back.. but then your eye flows back to the main focus, the phone booth, the sign ripped off the shattered glass maybe? It makes you wonder what took place there, or how it managed to get to that condition.

I think this picture is pretty awesome, Derrick. Nice one.
Have you checked out Daniel Shea's work at all? You might like his "Baltimore" stuff.
