You all must know that my webmaster picks out the pictures to go with my blog when I don’t have an illustration. I am going to tell you how great he is. Most webmasters do not help you manage a blog, but mine does. It is so helpful to have second pair of eyes look at this thing before you do. I don’t know what this would look like without him helping me.
I hope that what I say every day helps someone spark new ideas that they can use forever. That is my biggest hope, and Phil Lewis ( web guy) helps me get the message across in a way that someone can use. This is the embodiment of synergy. We work together to make a new thing. The future ideas I have are to do an interactive video and several youtube links to illustrate ideas even better.
The better I get the big idea, the better you will get it and there is a whole world out there of new ways of getting it. So cheers to Phil Lewis for all he has done in making this blog more user friendly.
I am a Northwest artist who is fascinated by faces and people. I work with a brush drawing of a face or human figure. Then I apply ink, paint and gel in various layers to create rich colors and textures. Along the way my images are painted, scrubbed, rinsed off, then ink and paint are reapplied until the final image is finally revealed. The process of discovering who the figures will become keeps me "intrigued and absorbed."
I suspect about 1/2 of the images I pick you wouldn’t have picked – so I sometimes wonder if I’m more of a nuisance than help. But it’s a creative outlet for me too. I wish you would pick images yourself.
