Geezus, Another one...This is getting really Stupid now!!!

What a shame.I didn't always understand his comments ,but I appreciated his intellect,insightfulness and knife-sharp wit.He's a 'rare' one and it's a great loss for this community. I wish him all the best and hope he ultimately finds whatever he is looking for.Poignant imagery,Eric,and well done.I am sure 'Hoppy' will appreciate it.My best to you both.-M :^)

I'm afraid I haven't been following this stuff much, why exactly is the good professor leaving?

so long to the Hopster, happy trails!!! we hope see him on the other side of the great sunset.... here's to new horizons of freedom, boundless intellectual and visual creativity.... cheers!!!!

It's really good this one, you have a lot of imagination my friend!!! Excellent realisation!!! Good day and hugs ;)

Margana said it all ! and better than I could have. Art for art's sake...not big brother curbing your enthusiasm and style...he's one artist that thinks outside the square, the Grand Master of metaphors and history ! time to send in the "clone army" or was that the clowns ? Nice dedi Eric. Cheers

Ouch--big bummer --we shall all miss greatly,unique personality like hopalong are always a majior loss ,,places to go and see ,Hop-A-long shall be at the helm and doing what he does best,breaking the boring and opening new adventures.REGARDLESS of the price ,--big bummer------

I have no idea what any of this is about, so I'll just shut up.

Im with Russ, have no idea what this is about,but so sad to see so many artist leaving this site!!!

what did he do that was so life threatening!!! who is next? ... the question is not "to be or not to be?:::" but to conform or not to conform; artists are, by nature (obligation),non-conformists or even anarchists... and some weak souls are afraid of that... I'll miss the big guy...

Thoughtful dedication Eric.

If is about leaving this site I am so sorry...But sure they will be back! Super done!!!

I did not know the Artist, but yes, so sad to see many leaving "R". You put your feelings in the image.

It is like a painting of Magritte.. i love it!!

Nice exit piece. The message is clear and precise. Good work! KP

Yep, like said above, very Magritte-ish, imo. Creatively superb Eric !!! And yes, on my latest, it was The lovely Elvira ... hugs

Every artist leaving is a disaster, regardless...

WHAT is going on at this site?????? .... SO many artists and personalities leaving .... WAKE UP RENDEROSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicely done image, sums up a lot with proper mood. Seems like there have been a lot of departures lately, and can't say I'm completely surprised unforunately; however I won't go into it here. Best of luck to him though.

Great image, Eric. And thanks for heads up on another one gone. I don't know the why's but it will still leave a hole in the community.

Oh no. So long, hopalong. Don't forget us.

Will the last one here please turn out the light and lock the door?

That's a shocker...Hopalong is at the very top of my favorites...I wish i knew more on the details...but I'll suffice it to say that he is one of a kind..and if he's found a more comfortable place to show his art...I hope he'll leave calling cards..so we might follow and continue to see his art...Eric,thanks for this nice image...it is very evocative and beautifully composed !

Hoppy's choice, long in coming but sad nonetheless. I will miss his humor, intellect, and gratuitous nudity. :) Wonderful tribute Eric. A loving farewell to the hero who wore black. ------ Links for Hoppy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopalong_Cassidy http://www.hopalong.com/

That's very sad. Your image is bittersweet, and very effective. I don't know why he is leaving, but I respect his decision. I wish him well.

You are right of course Kort. He chose freedom, he chose honesty, he chose defiance and ultimately, he chose to leave... Here is a link to our comrade: http://artzone.daz3d.com/index.php?mode=people_card&p_id=13223

A real loss! I know he was a great influence to you. His loss will be felt! To be continued!

I had no idea that something sinister was going on in the shadows. I do not understand it what so ever. his art and opinions never crossed the line as far as I remember.always to a different drummer but never harrassing, or mean to anyone. definetly sucks

Sad news... and the image tells all.

Ditto TwoPynts... a tasteful and timely tribute.
