On Mediums:

Fri Jul 6, 2007, 6:26 PM
I use a plethora of tools to create my work. I work in many different mediums including pen and ink; Intaglio (Etching); screen-printing; drawing with pencils, charcoals, pastels and conté crayons; oils; acrylics; clay bodies for pottery; fibers for fiber arts such as spinning yarns and threads and weaving; a pocket knife for whittling; and a computer for writing poetry and short stories.

I like art in all of its forms, but some I love better than others. I can study one of Rembrandts paintings all day long, but I also like Jean Michel Basquiat; Clifford Still; Marcel Duchamp; Salvador Dali; and Georgia O'Keeffe for masters of a more modern era. I enjoy graphic novels, book illustrations (most of them), and graffiti art. There is so much available in the world of art that it is difficult for me to pin down exactly what does float my boat. If I had to choose one are that speaks to my heart directly though, it would have to be Baroque, however Baroque is not the end all of art. It is not the plafond point of art, just one of its higher peaks.

Just a note: I just want to say that while it is obvious that most of my work on this site is not CGI, in truth, none of my work is CGI. I have nothing against computer generated imagery, in fact I love most of it -- I think it is beautiful and it has its merit, but I don't know how to do it, so I don't use the computer to create any of my work.

Loving the totem stuff!!! If you ever are up for a request (or a trade, although I doubt I can draw anything you would want) let me know. There's a certain animal I'm looking for a drawing in that style of :)

Thanks for the complement. This is one I especially like. I need to do more of like kind. And yes, I'll let you know if I want to trade or if I'm "up for a request". BTW: I visited your site and I like your art. It is different from mine, but it is good art.
