I've unboxed my computer and more recently, gotten an internet connection.  Oh the dreaded "DA...Dead Account."  Not yet.  Life marches on in it's own way and I continue to joyfully die in order for the process of coming to life to take place to a greater extent within me.  It is possible that during this march to life that DA will become a thing of the past for me, which makes sense, given my interest in art is simply to look at it with appreciation.  Such a thing has little value and if it becomes a tell-tale necessity in my life, then it's no good.  I presently need a break from reading some history that contains many first hand documents,

Inspired by my avatar that changed when I saved it and changes every subsequent time I save it...ie it's messed up, but every time I save it after making a change, it's degraded or something and develops "new" problems.  I have to redraw it or leave it alone, so I'm leaving it alone...for now. Ouch.  Yes.  My head hurts. =[  I'm learning to draw and to think "artistically."  Turns out that I'm a logical, symbol-seeking, left-brained nerd and these facts mean that my patterns of thinking are not condusive to drawing; but rather, are a blatant enemy to drawing.  I performed a couple of simple "drawing exercises" and my head hurts, quite litera

I made my avatar, which is my first artistic adventure on the computer, based on a sketch I made earlier today.  I added the big looming eye in the background to the avatar to fill in the "dead space" behind the sketch.  I'm just beginning drawing, so I don't know beans about it. Hopefully I will improve and learn to draw something besides eyes and 3D lettering.  I'm learning on a budget.  Sadly, I'm rather happy about my little avatar creation.  Making something 600x800 pixels will be nightmarish compared to the 50x50 and most impossible if I don't improve a lot.  I can draw basic shapes. =D  Weeeee!  Go my avatar!
