that I came to DU at this time of night and your post was the first one on "latest." I have stayed up tonight doing computer things and one of them was to install a Wacom art tablet.

Your post is inspiring!

...and to discover the various wonders of photoshop and illustrator!

The rest of the time I'm making whatever $$$ I can doing art/stuff for garment/entertainment industries.

Right now things are slow for me in those industries. SAD!

I’ve spent thousands of hours on it. I taught myself in the 1990s and I swear it made me feel like I was a god, able to create anything!

I love your little girl with the time bomb. Sugar sweetness and cute, yet a walking time bomb if she was thwarted in any way. It fun and funny.

Señor Pepe is very appealing to me. Not just because of the depiction that appears to be melancholy of a street musician but because you used blocking to such great success. The way you used black and grey makes it look like his head and upper body are emerging out of a cement wall and the addition of the blue lines around his lower body starts to give him more form and less flatness. The red bucket makes it look like he’s homeless or just needing to make a little change to make it through the day. Yet he seems to be bending into his music, unaffected by the outside world.

Part of the excellence of this is because there’s an interesting emotional evocation of how the lonely figures in our daily lives can be invisible to us, as if they merge into the walls we walk past every day.

All of them are very creative. I like your treatment of photographs and the many possibilities one has of using artistic creativity on them. You use a lot of unique imagination in your depictions.

by really looking at their work. I never fail to find many things that are missed if I just glance at art. Really taking my time to look and study and appreciate the work is a joy to me. This is a great place to make comments about artwork. If anyone finds me boring or opinionated they don’t have to read what I write. If they do like what I say then I’ve made them slow down and look too. DU can be the perfect audience sometimes!
