haha good idea on the avatar, it took me two hours a day for 3 days plus about 10 hours yesterday actual drawing time, so about 20 hours more or less from original lay-out to complete.

Thankyou, the stuff in the link is all mine, except the copies of the klimt, I did paint them by eye, but obviously they were copies in order for me to learn how to paint. Besides a lot of sketching that website is almost all of the art I have ever done lol, I have some ways to go before I`m making my own ``klimts``

Absolutely! very constructive idea, I wanted there to be a merge but I didnt plan for it until the end, so the transition is a bit rough. I had to rush a lot of the piece, but great idea I will be sure to smoothen out the geometry to flesh transition in my next one.

Not a student, besides a year of univeristy for graphic design- pretty much self taught. We all have our things, for me this is something in the otherwise unbalanced life I have haha. thanks btw!

Its sort of hard to get a gallery to represent you, a few weeks ago I attended a workshop on the business of art, talks by successful artists at a university here. The business side of art is a big scary hole to me haha its the opposite of the creative process. In fact many of the 'popular artists' I see today are better at marketing an image, a story, than making amazing art. And if you are popular- you sell, not necessarily if you are a good artist. I think it must be partially true since so much of the amazing art of the past is not being produced today, think rembrant, think roman sculptures- one might assume with all this population there would be piles of glorious art work. Obviously-'art is subjective'- comes into play when one tries to define the quality of an abstract square or dot on a canvas- in contrast to a caravaggio. Caravaggio spent months even years painting single pieces, there just isnt time for that today unless you are an established artist and can literally afford to do it. At this lecture we were told you are expected to produce one piece per week to be a truely successful artist (economically). So yeah all Im saying is there is tension between my creative side and my logistical side. We'll just have to see what happens haha but thankyou for your kindness. Since I started about 10 months ago doing only art, I have had a comission for a comic, published 5 pieces in an independant book of free thinkers, and 2 chances to show my work and possibly meet someone who can represent my work. so the universe seems to be putting the right doors in front of me aslong as Im making an effort.

Art is to be enjoyed and critiqued as well. Judging by the response, you are on your mission in life. Artistic talent is something people without talent can learn or study, but the real artist has got it already in his or her mind and only needs to translate images from their mind in to their hands. They can see the image already? I had a friend who was a sketch artist and he defined it that way. He said he could pull up an image again and again like it was already finished in his mind and all he had to do was copy it to the real world.
That always intrigued me. Like a Photographic memory of sorts and skill to put it down to canvas?
Has any one tried to interpret it yet? I don't want to offend the OP or anyone else, but that is what they used to do before there were Moving Pictures...
