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.

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 Blue 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.....

thank you thank you thank you :D (Big Grin)

You are right about the image being topheavy, but there is one thing: the milk in the pan is really as much of a subject here for me as the figure, which I have had for years. I have a burgeoning interest in images of milk for some reaosn.

Lets see if I can address the note and everything right here.

My spiritual development isn't going anywhere these days. Don't really know how I feel about that. I am producing and learning, which is pretty important to me. The agnostic/buddhist thing is appealing enough, and I've danced around it for a long enough time to declare myself officially undecided. Christianity is weird to me, especially the iconic kind you spoke of. People need stuff to attach to their belief systems I suppose. Featuring it in my art would kind of be like me trying to speak cantonese...

Though I have to admit a great deal of powerful art revolves around the bible and other accoutrements of the religion.

You should deinitely try and get a digital camera for getting your larger work up here. The best way to do it. Though of course not everyone can drop a couple hundred like that. Having a DC becme important to me since I moved to NYC, there is so much to see and record everywhere I go. Most of my work is digital these days, or small enough to scan. I have done a bit of after-scanner digital assembly. It's not fun and is hard to do at high resolution without a screaming computer.

I recently had a bout wih the forums, I was surprised at how few people took my "side." I don't even really know why I have started uploading my work again. People who take time to think about it like yourself are few and far between.

Have you seen :liszt: ? He's really good. Neosurrealist, and totally underappreciated.

Finally, thanks for commenting. Or, well, looking. HHH was a project I did for schoo , mostly an exercise in writing code. I suppose I play it when other people might take out their punching bags or whatever.

Warring Nebulae just started with a random blob on the screen with one of my custom brushes. I think they kind of look like fetuses or maybe larvae or something under a microscope. But the similarity in visual appearance of the microscopic and the cosmic is a real thing, and one which has always fascinated me.

Hope to hear more from you.
