Allright folks, I'm at Swarthmore College now, minus scanner.  My workload is pretty heavy (though not quite the legendary burden the college is known for, at least not yet), so I'm not doing much artwork anyway, just some small stuff.  So, anyways, I guess this is going to be a hibernation for me for awhile.  And congrats to Pri, who's Primix was my 100th deviation.

I feel that my worth as a decent artist has been vindicated by "The Twelfth Station" after the SICCSR debacle . . . thank goodness that's all behind me now . . .

-dyzz-
no doubt, bro, I get more than my share of attention, although I always like eharing from you, you usually have something intelligent to say. I'm not much of a commenter these days either, I know how it is.
Bullet; Blue For what it's worth, I want to thank you.
Your watching, commenting, and stopping in to
see what I've been up to is more than appreciated.
Without someone like you, my experience here
at DeviantART would not be as interesting.
So thanks. :) (Smile)
Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I offer only the truth, nothing more.

Take: The Red Pill

Fella Point Right spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
Ninja Point Right I know. That's why it's going to work.

Do not try and bend the spoon ...
Hey man I always appreciate your thoughts, even if it may take me a couple days to get back......

About my gestures:

when I first did figure drawing about ten years ago, I drew way way too small, and my teachers got me out of that habit I-don-know-how, but the end result was that I could never ever mak a figure fit on any size support, which was okay UNTIL I met my present teacher, who made me draw the whole figure regardless of whether I ran out of paper.

As an aside: My teacher is GREAT.

Then she taught me about the frame. At first I put it near the border of my paper, but that really didn't help in keeping my figures on the page. What you are seeing is a slight evolution of the frame, I put those in there to somehow contain my furious work, and they work, but only when they are relatively small. Still sometimes I explode off the page or have to wildly distort my figures too maeke them fit, but in all, I am reborn as a figurative artist due to this teacher.

I should have known you'd like the frames.....
