This is a refreshing bonus on ArtWanted...And you're right, of course; Bush, Dick and Co.LTD , should be answering to such a lot! I'm amazed at their impunity and they way they still prance about speewing their " views" and being so "born again": they are creeps! Anyway, great painting, XXXXX Ana

Artist Reply: Yes, but they will be allowed to live their lives as if they were not criminal murderers. Thanks for looking.

YOU ARE SO INSIGHTFUL AND CORRECT I LOVE THE THOUGHT BEHIND YOUR EXCELLENT WORK

Artist Reply: Thank you Margaret, the law must be observed and justice must be seen to be done. But I think Bush has been hiding behind a shrub in this matter. Thank for your kindly input.

I like the political themes. They are uncommon on artwanted, or perhaps I'm not looking too hard. My only suggestion might be to concentrate on one particular prisoner. As Stalin said, "One man's death is a tragedy, 1000 deaths are just a statistic."

Artist Reply: Thank you David, my difficulty there is that I have no sympathy for any particular terrorist, in many ways they deserve what they get. My point is that we are letting ourselves down by our treatment of them, becoming just like them when we in turn break our own laws to punish them. Thanks for your comment.

this one is great.

Artist Reply: Thank you Babis, I appreciate you comments.

Deep, powerful work!

Artist Reply: Thank you Ron, some people thought I was for being nice to the terrorists but my thought was and is that you must stick to the law and that law must apply to everyone. Even those who do not recognise your laws. Otherwise you are decending to their level.

Strong statement Frank. Great work

Artist Reply: Thank you Donald.

Alex Preiss 15 Apr 2008

Powerful artwork. I wish the image could be larger so I will be able to understand it better.

Artist Reply: Thank you Alex., it has to do with the souls of the prisoners being put through the hell of Guantanamo by bush, who, if there was justice, should be in there with Cheney.

Interesting representation. Be nice to terrorists? Please, tell some war widow that.

Artist Reply: I dont say be nice to terrorists Minnie, I say give them justice according to the law. If we descend to their level than they win because they have succeeded in making us worse. We are supposed to know better and to be democratic. If it was up to me then I would bar all Muslims from the west and tie up their money, but we buy their oil and cant really go too far.

annette steens 11 Jul 2007

Excellent work indeed! You are so right what you have been written to it Frank!

Artist Reply: Thank you Annette, I get so riled up over the doing of the shrub.

Artist Reply: Thank you Arevik. I feel strongly that America under Bush is worse than the Nazis were.

Olga van Dijk 23 Mar 2007

P O W E R F U L well said and -painted Frank!--

Artist Reply: Thank you Olga, that sort of thing was done to my relative by the Brits and it is sad to see it being done in America. But what can you expect of a moron?

Joanna Jungjohann 20 Feb 2007

Frank, this is super potent, dynamic very heart-felt wow amazing, thank you Frank.

Artist Reply: In this era of Bush-law it behoves us to stand against tyranny.

Tabitha Borges 26 Jan 2007

Alberto D'Assumpcao 26 Jan 2007

Wonderful imagery and painting, Frank!

Artist Reply: Thank you Alberto, I must be some kind of evangelist and maybe I'm losing my tracks.

Carrie Ann Watson 25 Jan 2007

Artist Reply: Thank you Carrie Ann.

Jerry 25 Jan 2007

LOvely or most interesting style!

Artist Reply: Yes. Well I just experiment with ideas and the material, but the sentiment is heart felt.

Nelly van Nieuwenhuijzen 25 Jan 2007

powerful and touching work, Frank!!! GREAT!

Artist Reply: I dont like Muslims Nelly, To my mind, more than most religions it is negative and life denying and it seems to develop a great capacity for hate in it's believers. But everyone should have justice. Thanks for looking.

bianca 24 Jan 2007

HMMMMMMMMMM.....great colours...

Artist Reply: Hey Bianca, You should speak out if you dont like it. I'm a big boy and I wont cry if you say hard things about my picture. That is why I put them up. Thanks for looking.
