Once again he spent the time to compliment my work and he doesn't even know me. And man can he draw.billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616075975131350091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-56514053528253392942013-01-25T13:12:01.672-05:002013-01-25T13:12:01.672-05:00Hello!

It's also very ironic how the guy without the sintiq is the one obsessed with craftsmanship. I think this is why they make us work only traditional in foundations; pain as it is to hear, you only appreciate those clean computer lines and grids after you've had to construct them by hand.Luca Careynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-87460292161893777802013-01-24T09:23:14.215-05:002013-01-24T09:23:14.215-05:00Your works arise such warm feelings.

Gorgeous!<br />Recently, I've come across interesting works of an artist who does stand out of the others:<br /><a href="http://www.freelancemommyblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-little-bit-of-art.html" rel="nofollow">A little bit of art.</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847182725209150356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-72565912740838312702013-01-24T08:06:32.651-05:002013-01-24T08:06:32.651-05:00Etc, etc-- I had no problem with artists who emplo...Etc, etc-- I had no problem with artists who employ photographs or computers-- there has been too much great work done by both to try to exclude it. But my threshold test for inclusion was that each of these artists had to be able to draw; they had to have the power in their fingertips to make marks on a surface, and to understand design and composition. In my experience, artists who lack that ability, who skip over that discipline and go right to altering photographs with computer programs, never end up doing anything interesting. Corel's Painter software may help aspiring artists with its "divine proportion tool," but you won't find anyone who uses such a tool in this exhibition.<br /><br />Anonymous-- I can vouch for that "personable" part.<br /> David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-15306065646715740932013-01-24T07:35:47.796-05:002013-01-24T07:35:47.796-05:00JSL-- I've heard from many who feel the same w...JSL-- I've heard from many who feel the same way.<br /><br />Tom-- Perhaps it's not surprising, but a great many people (including Milton Glaser who I covered a few days ago) seem to agree that no matter how far technology takes us, at the core remains an artist with a pencil.<br /><br />MORAN-- Yes, that one tugs at your heart in a way that some of the angrier 9/11 pictures no longer do.
