Description
John (Killerpumpkins) is a very talented, and unique artist here at Osity!
His bold. clean graphic style is one I admire greatly!
If you haven't seen his fabulous work, take a look for yourself:
"Killerpumpkins"
He's also a really nice guy!
I tried to make an image that suits his style (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?), but I didn't come as close as I would have liked. Still, I had fun working on it.
This is a tree that eats kids kites! It is a legend in the community, and this young man is realizing that retrieval is not an option.

I know that tree. I ate my kites too.
Nicely done --a fun almost halloween greeting card feel..the humor is in the stance-setting and art !! very cool !
Evil brother to the Hogwarts Whomping Tree? This poor kid better find something else to do today because he can't go fly a kite. What a fun pic and you did a great job with it. I can't help laughing. Mine usually end up in the live electrical wires. I still have that uncontrollable twitch :)
I had one like that too, every darned April there went the kite. I think it was related to the phone lines and there was a conspiracy to eat every kite in the neighborhood. Wonderful creation and I like this style.
LOL How cute.A wonderful tribute for your friend and 'muse'...if muses are ever men...which I think they are not...hmmm...but you know what I mean,lol...I shall check his gallery now.-M :^) PS-I really like this style.It would be wonderful to illustrate children's literature...Just a thought. EDIT-Just thought you should know the linky-doo is not working. :(
-i HAD A TREE LIKE THAT !! A closeline that love to swipe ya right off a ponies back too ---AND then steal my strawberry pop when I wasn't looking.. cool image --Im going to follow the link too..
This is really funny as hell. The kite eating tree. I have evil trees in my backyard that deposit mountains of rotting fruit and nuts on my lawn. What a pain. I really like the artistic style here. I see a few different mediums suggested and they all work together well. The sky looks watercolor. The boy looks 3d (Poser maybe), and the leaves, tree and grass I'm not sure about. It does make for a rather delightful and whimsical image. In the interest of being demented I may have added a kitten skeleton to one of the branches, but that would have taken alot from the whimsy.
Oops! Thanks Marlene! I fixed the bad link....really!
Young Ben Franklin vows revenge.....fifty years later the wire was grounded on this exact same TREE---CWACK ZAK ZIZZLE BAMB-BA-BOOM....firewood, hehe.
Ha! excellent. The little detail that makes it for me is the kids arms that are slightly thrown backward - the perfect gesture of fear and reluctance. Thanks for the link, too, cool art there as well.
I have seen his work and I agree,but yours takes no slack at all. always top notch
we just saw monster house, now monster tree!! he,he.... kp is great!
Evil, Evil tree!!! Ace image :)
those trees is around just to eat kites what to do??? super looking
LOL!!! John P. would never do a gentle sky like that (unless he was doing it for a commision) but you got the gradient style in the eyes and mouth of the kite eating tree quite well. I too have know a tree like that in my youth...I'm lucky I lived to tell the tale. A great tribute to a terrific artist and feller!
I forsee the axe falling. Great idea!
a killer tree for killer pumpy dude, is the kid next ? time for the chain saw gang to visit them woods, not James Woods though ! Cheers
I see your inspiration! Superb concept and image! Bravo! You ain't kiddin' about John's artwork! A tad dark, but magnificent!
Wow.......Fantastic idea....Very well done !!!!!! Excellent postwork !!!
How do you reason with a tree like that? I knew a kite eating roof once. It also ate boomerangs and footballs. You can't be too careful in the countryside..
Nice. I'm going to go check out that gallery now.
ROFLMAO !!!! Very cute and very creative work !!! Love it !! The Title is priceless too !!! I didnt know there was a person on here with the name killerpumpkins. Great name. Will have to look at his gallery. Thanks. Excellent !!!
Lol!! I know that tree's relatives! hehe! This is not only funny and clever, but Very well done! The leaves and grass are shining examples of fancy brush work, and those clouds are magnificent! Plus the tree and little boy are top notch as well. I agree with Marlene, this would be a great style of illustration!
This is so cute. I love to fly kites, I don't know if it's the control, or the freedom it takes. Thank you for the laugh.
Well, lot's has gone on since I've been out. Sorry I missed your honorable tribute to my work and personal project, KillerPumpkins. I was on vacation. Unlike a business trip, when I'm on vacation I cut myself off from everything, including phone and email messages. I am very impressed with this piece. It certainly captures the essence of "mystery solved" as to where all the kites have gone. The lone tree atop a grassy knoll with it's claw-like outer branches and ominouse posture is sure to make one ponder the obviouse outcome. Well done! I am truely honored to be amongst the very fine artists you have tributed already. My thanks to you and Congrats on a job well done. KP
