This piece of Ho-man art went from a straight 8 down to a 2. This picture was nice at a first glimpse but those pixels, and that spiral did not cut it and really made me rethink my vote. I have a real hard time to actually make up my mind about it.

Sander, that comparison was too much for my taste :P and besides the wrath guys or electric, or ptoing, or (the list goes on and on) got much closer....

@Twoflower, just by merely looking at the image, it's a matter of taste. But you cannot leave out the social context or the concept of this serie to judge it. I mean, when the creativity is in the vision/concept, it does not neccesarily have be in the execution...
Anyway, don't get me wrong - i think this picture feels fresh, i consider it a stylized collage, highly acceptable for that matter :)

And on top of all; Hollowman is probably the closest the scene has gotten to an icon like Andy Warhol :)

Warhol worked in a completely different context than compaired to what we guys are doing in our scene. Besides, things where different back then. If you really are going to do some matches, please do focus on the differences as well.

Andy Warhol was quite a creative guy. His sculptures with the lined-up Brillo-boxes and his less known paintings are really brill, as well as the concept of pop-art which he explored a bit too much of. As an image, though, I find it A) more creative to take a photo, pixel it into a semi-abstract pattern and add a kind of vortex to it than to B) take a photo, make a screen-print out of it and add a kitchy background-color.

It's about the message behind Hollowmans productions. I am for sure a disciple of hollowm. Dude, I believe in you! Seeing is Believing! Even if everything I "SEE" is related to GHEY STUFF muhahaha

I'd say it's quite a bit more creative than f.ex -> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/roadshow/series/highlights/2007/h.. - especially since it's in hires (nice craftsmanship!) and features a nice swirl. He-Man och blommorna remains my favourite Hollowman-piece though

I just don't get the point, really.
Just taking a photo of a part of a Gaudi building and tracing over it and adding a silly swirl. WHY? It's about as uncreative as it gets in my opinion.

When Hollowman decides to release shit in the gfx compo, you know it's going to be ace. I didn't know he was doing this, and when I saw his name on the screen, I immediately started thinking of He-Man and Carl-Philip. This one was no disappointment.

I'm a sucker for hi-res. Gives me an Arkanoid vibe! (as bizarre as that sounds!) Nice.
