fear of success

Oh my, you have got one hell of an imagination my friend….wow…this is fantastic:)

This is superb TG. You are a master. Great, great

whoa!! Very cool idea and great job! You are soo productive!!

how weird, I just wrote a muse about Hope and before I abreviated it I spoke of failing and falling…
Snap. Sure wish I could create images as well as you to express the feeling. :-)

Wow Totally COOL!

EXCELLENT!

Extraordinary!!

wowl…this is outstanding

nice choppers – hehehe…I love the symbolism, been trying not to climb for years, but with your encouragement and awesome imagination been changing my mind ;)

Fabulous!

I love this – I climbed, fell off, got back on and climbed again….and this expresses it all perfectly. Magical…..

Awesome, inspirational, and brilliant as always, Toasted… well done!

Nicely done

brilliant!!

Dude, your on fire lately…....awesome!!!

TG,

I must tell you about a ‘trip’ I made in my early college days. I was feeling like what it must have been like to be Hitler in his early days. The adulation of masses of people hailing “Seig Heil!”. Everyone of millions of live spirits all in love with me at once. It was like you painted up in the sky. But, then it all flipped negative. I wasn’t just an open mouth. It was a recrimination hell with all those millions of spirits now spitting and chastizing at the same moment that I had opened my heart to drink in all their praise and love. And, it was a free fall, just as you drew it; uncontrollable, like being turned inside out. Amazing. I hadn’t thought of that experience for – well – for almost 40 years. The places we’ve seen and been to. Some not so pretty. Thanks, TG.

Splendid work, absolutely brilliant!

this is inspired!

Sensational concept. Well done.

Brilliant work, absolutely love the concept

briliant title and image! well done!

a fav TG!! .. (smile)

Brilliant interpretation

Very intense… xXx

You displayed most peoples real greatest fear perfectly. I’d love looking in your mind.

This is brilliant!! Love the guy falling, the facial expression…........ and the perspective!! Would love to know how mant times you played about with his dimensions!!
Great work!!

Fantastic concept and “execution.”

Brilliant creative insightful work TG…..;)

Never had that dream, but did daydream at times of the woman on my newspaper route that had two buxom daughters that used to invite me into their house to play with suggestive comments on my insignificant ego. Hadn’t thought of those women in years.

Awesome!!!!

very imaginative

Very creative and excellently processed ! A Trippy image.

Brilliant !

Incredible!

super

Ah ha – perfect!

excelent work, I ahve been here.

TG, you are SO rockin’ these days!

You have some really creative stuff here!

Very nice work. Excellent Job.

i fear success, because i know what i am capable of when i have it…

with success may come wealth and with wealth i would end up dead no doubt…overindilgeance is a real bitch.

anyways im half talkin out of m y ass..really you dont have to be wealthy to be successful i know that…i have the fear of failing, so i dont even attemp half of the i should or dream up…

over the top!

A Babel Tower, designed for “getting to the sky” and eventually “see God”
Absence of prespective and above all a lack of knowlledge on “spaciousness”..
“what is down.. so it is up” and viceverse.
I can feel the Babel Tower made with words… The Verb not as an energy but as a device, that created ideology and “success” is one of them…ideologies…
Lao Tse…or even Jesus put it clear.
“To triomph isto fail”
“The last ones will be the first ones in the heave’s Kindom”
Yes… I see the paradox..but a paradox is healthy…and there cannot eternal climbing…sooner or later…the failure will come…
And thank’s god….it will.

Brilliant image

dally-like quality as far as I’d care for that
I love it.
could go to somewhere about talking your way up the ladder of success :-)

AWESOME creativity ToastedGhost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mammalia

Excellent work here! Your portfolio is so intriguing and intellectual! Bravo!

Wow, amazing!!!

It is scary ! I am afraid of falling!

oh goodness! this reminds me of when I was a dentalnurse. I was fired for daydreaming and sucking up an old man tonsils with the salivia vacuum. its a great image. great to see such good ideas!

LOL this is fantastic and ever so creative.. Love it!

this is my favorite! Great work!

this is just outright excellent, well done.

Great! Love what you’ve written with it too. Worth remembering :-)

GREAT WORK,INDEED,

Great concept and piece !!! excellent execution…...

Brilliant !!

Your gallery is AMAZING, you are a great artist!!!

brilliant….

it’s like when you fall, everyone is ready to talk about it and compare you to others who stayed on that ladder. great concept. great geniusness.

clearly your meds ARE over the counter safe.
lol !

i like it on so many levels~
great admiration for how your mind works
toasted ghost
♥t

fantastic!

Brilliant concept and execution!

I HAD TO FAVORITE THIS IMAGE. I’VE CLIMBED THE LADDER MORE TIMES THAN I CARE TO THINK. I’VE ALSO FALLEN OFF OF IT, ONE MORE TIME THAN I’VE CLIMBED IT. NOW, LIKE A FILLING IN A TOOTH, I STAY TUCKED AWAY QUIETLY, OUT OF SITE, OUT OF MIND. I DO WHAT I CAN TO STAY AFLOAT AND KEEP FIGHTING MY DISABILITIES, BUT THEY ARE STARTING TO WEIGH ME DOWN TO THE POINT OF NOT MAKING IT UP ON THE BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LADDER ANYMORE. VERY INTERPRETIVE…........ DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ABOUT THE DIXLEXSIC AGNOSTIC? HE WASN’T SURE IF THERE REALLY WAS A DOG. BOB :)

This is a really, really amazing piece of artwork. Wonderful concept, and composition. I just love the way you’ve created such a mega illusion of distance. This is like a huge nightmare. Magnificent work!

wow this is amazing

another amazing here

Cool magic art work !

this is really cool.

Fabulous idea. Personally I have to think about the impact of the mouth directly. The power of words, honest or not honest, can sometimes be underestimated and pushes yourself or someone
higher or lower on the ladder. But that’s more society orientated..

This is such a powerful work

you never cease to amaze me ~ this is brilliant and so creative
fantastic work !!

Great picture!

absolutely brilliant! great concept, nice mouth :) x

One of your best! Fave…

THAT is totally surreal!!! Love it!! To have that kind of creativity!!! Nice work!

Exceptional work!!!!

Outstanding work…you have your own unique style!

Debra

A true surrealist piece of brilliance..love it..

Perhaps keep mouth shut to avoid excessive expectation… to just do it, know that it is right and let it speak for itself?

AWESOME!

wow great work

Congrats Toasty one! Awesome picture!

WooHoo, CONGRATS TG, you won the challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the challenge win, fantastic work well deserved win

Excellent work. Congratulations.

congratulations! a wonderful work :)

Congrats on your win =)

This is a fantastic idea – congrats on the win! =D

Very Dali like, I think its a creative image, represents to me the fear of falling, fear of doing something new, but most of all the fear of failure. .

Oh I forgot to say Congratulations on your well deserved challenge win. That says alot for the image, as it took my mind off of what I was doing. LOL!!

Think that the fear of success could be about childhood rejection. I think when we are little that we are so excited by everything that failure is not an option. However when we are first hurt by loved ones it can be devestating. Then for many it is easier to not have expectation and if success was to be hoped for it could raise expectation and unconsciously touch on the pain felt long ago. Could be way off the mark but felt to write anyway.

Wow, congratulations on your win!! I’d have voted for this if I’d remembered to vote….LOL!

Too cool!!! A favorite for me

Superb!

Like one of those dreams where you are falling…great work

Congratulations on winning. This is an extraordinary image that blends
whimsical humor and a fantastic and very creative image that
I can feel on a visceral level. Outstanding concept to express the “fear of success.” I look forward to viewing more of your unique imaginative visions.

I have no fear of success but I guess I scare the shit out of it !.....

oh yeh nearly forgot….splendid piece indeed….
