Just read the comments on Bob and thought I would offer my impression of him. To me he comes across as a mix of Johnny Depp and Stephen King! Hope this does not offend Bob. :-)
Carla Carson replied:
LOL! I don't think BOB would mind the men we are all comparing him to? Let's see here, he is a poet, a kind person with a huge heart, a talented artist, & if he looks anything like Johnny, he had better start boarding up his doors & windows!!! HAAAAAA!!!! "They're coming to get you Bobby" (Night of the Living Dead) lol! Thank You Susan, your fun & your welcome here any ol time! :D Carla

This is great work Carla, I love the feel of energy coming through this, it really makes me "Wanna Dance" even though I was definately not a disco lover!!! Your representation of the different music styles is excellent and the circle format really pulls it all together! v/f
Carla Carson replied:

I thought it was pretty funny. I had to to stop using the word shot because the i is next to o and most times the i got typed ....
Carla Carson replied:
Shiznit! my new favorite word! Bob, your the shiznit! It is Snoop Doggs word for your "shot" that you unfortunately mispell sometimes... :O Your funny, you come across to me to look like & act like Richard Dreyfuss??!! I told someone that as we were "talking" about you..

I have to admit there was a lot of great dancing, fast and slow. Yes Donna Summer was awesome. You changed my name back LOL
Carla Carson replied:
I tend to go a bit far sometimes with comments. I never want to offend anyone or someone take something the wrong way. It's hard to read people over the computer. Some are too uptight, I aleways have to go back & edit myself! always!!! Thanks "BOB" I was actually hoping you wouldnt notice the change.... :( .... :)

Awesome concept and the face/ expressions on each person is perfect for the style of music. Are you longing for those disco days :)) Just kidding about the disco day -- V/F
Carla Carson replied:
I Like disco!!! Donna Summer Rocks! Beside me, to guide me, To hold me, to scold me, 'Cause when I'm bad I'm so' so bad So let's dance, the last dance Let's dance, the last dance Let's dance, this last dance tonight... Thank You Bob, your always here with the kindest of words... Thank You :)

Love this! :)
Carla Carson replied:
Me too!! I'm in love with the colors. Drawing & painting faces is a big thing for me, it's what I enjoy most. They always have to look beautiful. When working with such small faces like this, it's hard, but I make sure they look good. I think whenever you create any painting/drawing of a human, it could be spectacular, but if the face is wrong or out of proportion, it will ruin the whole artpiece. I wanted to make sure each lady had a beautiful face. Im rambling.... ha ha ha Thank you Michael, I appreciate you taking the time to lend a kind word... Carla :)
