Maybe she's gonna put em in a bowl with raw eggs and tomato soup and make an abortion casserole.

Why yes he does, Urs. I call him...Rat.

She "bought" objects for her "found" art project?

stop knowin' how to get me to approve your cheating

been a long time since I rock and rolled
 

This piece is one of my latest. This means that I started it several months ago and it has been sitting, incubating since then. I will probably put a little more detail into it....eventually, but it is mostly finished.

great color!

I hadn't done any fine art for almost 25 years when I did this portrait
of my grandmother in pencil on Bristol board. This was done with an acetate grid of half -inch squares over
the original photo which matched a faint pencil grid that I measured out on the Bristol sheet.

Then I scanned the pencil portrait at 600 dpi
and colorized it Photoshop.
The final output for framing is 16 x 22.

My design work is created in Adobe CS4. To recreate the Fox Theater in my home town in the 1950s for a poster, I used a faxed copy of a 1938 news clipping as my template. Then I added shots of Norman Rockwell and the album cover of American Graffiti to create the Fox Fountain cafe which was next door in the late 40s and 1950s. It took about 2 and half months to finish.

Hello!
 

Thank you, Queen of Queens, for creating this thread. I am surprised that it has taken me this long to find it. Usually, I can use my creativity radar and hone right in.....

However...

About me...I am an artist, crafter, poet and sometime-seamstress. My art is my passion and oil painting and drawing are where my talent shines. My work has been compared to Dali and sometimes Tanguy (which humbles me more than any thing else).
To see my work, go to http://warningshot.deviantart.com/gallery I would love to know what you all think.

Some of my jewelry is there, too. But, I don't think I have added any of my Pagan Rosaries to that gallery.

In regards to my poetry, I may start a thread for my words sometime in the future. I haven't decided yet.

The seamstress part is that I make cloaks for Ren Faire and ritual. I also make other simple things. But, I have a difficult time with more difficult clothing items.

You might say that I have creative add...haha.

I have looked through the work of others here and I have to say that it is SO good to see so many creative people in one place.

:bouquet:

ps. Jet, I don't know how you do it. CS4 and I DO NOT get along. It is still a mystery to me.

wow
 

Magic and Silk. I just looked at your work on Deviant art.

Wow...you are incredibly talented. Im astonised. I love your work.

I love Dali too and there is a connection there.

Very gifted, you should have a Gallery and be famous ! LOL

Thank you for sharing.

Thank You , you have a great week also !

Guys! I have discovered Zazzle! Has anybody else got a shop there? I was tossing up between Zazzle and Cafepress. I'm not expecting to make a fortune on it or anything, but it's a good way to get my art work out there when it would otherwise just be sitting in my computer, forgotten.

Might do something on Cafepress too... I think Cafepress would be the more widely known website... but that's just a feeling.

I just sold a tie on Zazzle! Whoots :) A tie with kewpie dolls on it was the last thing I thought I'd sell, but hey, I'm not complaining!

This is what it looks like: http://www.zazzle.com/kewpie_tie-151995433592361135

I shan't get my hopes up about making my fortune and retiring in the bahamas just yet, but my first sale gave me a bit of a thrill :)

Just stopping by to give this thread a *BUMP*.

I have been so busy lately, painting my newest oil painting, creating more jewelry and drawing. Hopefully, I will soon have some to add to the gallery, if I can figure out which pictures I want to replace.

Until then, I leave you with this; One of my Pagan Rosaries....

I love photoshop, zoning out and letting my digital canvas take me over is the best form of relaxation

Fractals are one of my favorite things to make when I am starting from scratch

i adore fractals. thank you for sharing your creative self, bugs. mighty well done.

i've always loved bottles, ...
of beauty and not so much.

quite a few years ago i discovered the bottle tree.
i fell in love.

i want to make different styles of the tree, ...
say driftwood, different shapes of iron and so on.
the creativity is endless. i need to make this a priority lol.

the folklore is that the bottles capture evil spirits/ghosts.
when you hear the bottle howl, that's a spirit inside the bottle.
the cobalt color is said to be best at attracting.

this photo belongs to eudora welty. she's more so known for her short stories.
but quite a photographer she was.

*messes things up* This is my kinda place!

I started out with good ol' pencil and paper. Smudge everywhere. Tried painting from time to time. Paint everywhere. Then came computers and Photoshop and her pals, and we had a great time. I now have my studio in a 14" little black box, and have kept my fingers clean since. Uh. from paints!
