Hey, it's been a long time. I finally got settled into Minneapolis, only to uproot and return to Texas-- Until Spring, when I return to Minneapolis for a couple of weeks. Then, it's off to Alaska. How is the artwork going? How have you been?

hey no problem..life has a way of bringing us artist full circle back to each-other..to start all over again..

Dec 23 2007, 9:31 pm

Love your art. It takes me back in time to some other place. Really great work. Hope you do plenty more.

Hey, thanks! The image is actually a photograph... my reflection in a huge copper drum a the Jameson Distillery in Ireland with a simple levels adjustment in photoshop. I'm pleased that you had to ask! I love to push the boundaries of photography, whenever possible... to obscure the often rigid line between mediums. I feel that you've achieved the same in your pieces "Somerville Nocturne 1" and 3. They have a dreamlike, photographic quality to them... absolutely beautiful!

Stay blonde pony boy! The persistance in this passion will be the evidence of your courage. The works great. the somerville nocturines ( from these low res pics) are well modeled. you have nothing to worry about.

yeah. i love old horror flicks. their so horrible you gotta love them. the b/w piece would be awsome. you plan on useing pastel or charcol or what... ink would be cool to but i guess if your looking for a more realistic look id go with charcol...anywho...yet again more rambeling...you got a myspace by chance???

hey there. well i don't have much traditional art experience beyond typical art classes. mostly i was interested in the 3d look and learned more about graphic design. but i think computers can be useful for any artist or creative person.. even if it is just enhancing a real-life painting or cropping something you scanned. learning graphic basics can really help all that. even for 3d renders i usually have to edit them in photoshop to adjust them

Nov 25 2006, 6:20 pm

not alot new goin on. still stuck in the "instant gratification," as you say. workin...tryin to make a livin as an artist. ive started a series of pastel works. as soon as i get some pics of them ill have to post them so you can see. hopefully i can sell them. id way rather do art and sell it than have to work for someone else. granit im an artist for a livin but...its not the same. anyways...im done blah blahing for now...anything new with you???

thanks for the comment. 3d art is fun but you need alot of software to get started and a fast computer (or access to all that in a school or something). then you have to learn the software which takes a loooong time. but i guess that is true of everything. i find it hard but i'm learning, even though i still just do basic stuff.

i do paint on acasion...usual with acrilic. i want to try oils but knowing it takes years apon years to dry makes me hesitant to try....someday im sure.

Nov 18 2006, 11:56 am

hey cool man. love the work. what medium do you work in???

Nov 17 2006, 11:10 am

Hey, noticing the beauty of Nature, when left to herself, is greater than all of humanity's mimickry-- on that we definitely agree. One of my greatest moments came about not too far from the studio-- watching crabs swim through the polluted waters of Newtown Creek. There are numerous trees in the city who's struggles for survival have made them the most captivating things I have ever seen. I love to study their exposed root systems, burls, and cavities, and consider them natural feats of engineering. Have you, or are you currently taken/taking any botanical courses?

Hey reino, great work. I, too, know the pain of needing to create, but having to do so in a financial vacuum. I've been exhibiting at the nonprofit galleries, in NYC, since 2001, and don't much care for the the commercial venues. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. I see we have a common connection (botany). The theories drawn from keenly observing the plethora of species within the Plant Kingdom serve as the impetus for all of my creative births, as well as for my life as a whole. I'd like to open a dialog with you-- perhaps I could learn a bit more about the struggle of creation. Gregory Singletary (GRE.JO.S.)
