what is the missing number? (got that from a featured artwork on devART today--did you see it? ... cool photomanip.)
personal noteOne of the most good, compitent persons I ... don't know here has decided to take a break from devART. Before that happened they projected a series of bizarre affrontals and I ... worry for them. But I still don't want people pissing in my pool and I made that maybe a little too abundantly clear. I am not plastic, I am not perfect (twisted alteration of a supermodel's quotation).
So anyway of course I'm all uneasy, queasy -- I absolutely hate that when it happens. I never, once, in any way said anything cruel ... I was clear, constructive and complimentary to their work even in the face of it. I did nothing particular at all really... except to politely ask, and then insist, they not write devilish things about me and my work. I let the little stuff go. So I guess I did right.
Anyway, there are three other things I need to say and maybe hear. And I will certainly try to do what I need to. But definitely need to unwire just about now.
So NEwayz, I'm working on another portrait ... got my camera working again today. (Batteries are too expensive and wasteful too ... so I've got these rechargables and ... they take a change at 1800mA but my charger only puts out 360mA. So every time I charge it I've got to be there to ensure I get covered in acid when they explode, and it isn't done in just an hour.) Went to Savage to get some photos. Good stuff. Of things I'd post here, I've that portrait ... looks OK. So I'm working on it ... of course I'm being too artistic for anything that really belongs in this gallery. And, it's more of a family, smiles type shot. It's another painterly piece, this one very different for me because it involves simulating watercolor. I saw a piece about a month ago that used pointalist-like dots of pure pigment with watercolor washes ... all fade to white. I'd seen pieces like this before, so I don't think I'm copying someone's personal and unique style here.
Been working out. Pushing 65 lbs on the bench press (before you just bust out laughing, look at my images ... I wear a woman's small shirt, except for the length of it, and I'm 6'4" -- I'm wearing one now
). My arms are still sticks, of course, but there's these little pebbles on them now. And the veins aer fascinating. I like to think, my wings are among the tougher meet in ethiopian chickens (ewww! please forgive me my regional friends).
So, that's the latest from the flip side.
Hmm, (
not looking for a response here) I'm wondering, because I'm this little, if someone like me, who's not smart enough to... well, not smart, can still have great ideas. Little novas in a the night sky of my thoughts. How can someone who's this slow know the difference?
I've got these pieces in my Scraps that ... aren't good stuff. But the treatment of half of them is intricate, patiently applied. The outcome is smooth. I have things here I've been told belong in the gallery. Maybe that's what I need to cherish those novas. Maybe.
Special thanks to my friends
Intrant o-x-o---Nika---o-x-o mihrimah MysAlgiaLOL just for being you.
I think I fail to let these people know just how awesome, how admirable, they are. And; my especial apologies to the last. : -peaceoffering- : :careful:
...I know more about thin than sexy, so most of this is 'looks thin' more than 'looks sexy' ... but i'm a little closer. I know what's right, what's on! a little here, a little there, a little cleanup, and damn, I should be prouder than this. yeah, that's the spot
this is just a goof-off account for a goof-off artist. i didn't want images of yours truly, trying to look all demi-monde, polluting my art gallery. at first i was just adding this stuff to my stock account, but as i started to actually get kinda involved in it I didn't necessarily want to share these images that way. so I had to find a new home for them.
the purpose of all this jazz is:
1. learn photography a bit better ... I'm truly horrid at taking pictures.
2. get a little better with photo-manip
3. play. have fun. i've never "modeled" or such, never will ... but this provides a nice outlet for that vanity in me.
