Nope, not for sale. You couldn't afford them anyway...
Sorry, only frappe. I never went to art class, you see. I am self tought and this is all I have bothered to teach myself. Perhaps I should add a straw, though. I'll make a mental note of that.
I am by no means qualified to speak as an "art critic" (and thank god for that!), so it's going to be my honest personal reaction: I like this stuff. I can't tell how big these really are but I do hope they are small, not larger than say A3 size. I like the geometric stuff better, I guess they're easier to paint for a beginner, but don't stick there, keep painting so your style evolves. Between a Rousseau and a Rothko, I'll take the latter.
Btw, is the onion a present for your friend "zak"?
Thanks for the honest opinion, they're good to have (and rare, at least for me). Unfortunately I have minimal free time, so I paint something like one of these every six months lately... So the progress would require an electron microscope to be detected.
As for the onion, I can take this question in two ways: a) Just a witty comment, in which case the answer is "no, I was just looking for something to paint, and it was the most interesting thing I could find that would not move all the time (e.g. a cat), melt (e.g. something from the fridge), or hit me on the head after seeing the result (e.g. a friend, or zak)."
b) As a deep comment touching on the anecdotal metaphore of the human soul as an onion, with various layers that reveal themselves one after the other, often contradicting each other, and a comparison of this with "zak", in which case my answer is "Huh?"
By the way I have promised yk I would paint him something, but so far nothing... When it will be ready we'll have a whole blog critique session on it.
An easy 'deep' comment it was meant to be (like I am entitled to make any such comments or even able to). I'll look forward to that artistic discussion post, whenever it happens.

So, are these for sale or what? Can you make one with an espresso-cup (a double espresso to be precise) instead of the frappe?

Are you the Edw Lilipoupoli guy?
If you mean where the nick comes from, yes. Btw, take the musical 'poll' one rainy, cold day.
