i got a sudden burst of energy today and thought i'd play around with painter a bit. i worked from photos, and had the brush pick up the colors from the source photos.... see the rest in the art gallery.

after what seems like ages, but has really only been a few weeks, i've gotten a functional art gallery up on my website, at: http://www.pantagruel.net/art/gallery2/main.php if you could take a few minutes today to go through it, that'd be spectacular.... does the 'art portfolio' album represent my work well?... if you wanted to leave comments and ratings for the images, that would be helpful.

it's all of those things; the butterflies in the stomach you get from an interview, and the highly personal rejection of a bad date, and being able to see the other candidates for the job that you see at an audition, all together.... some years at comic-con, i got really excited because i thought my work might get picked up, and i was naïve enough to think that the vague encouragement at the portfolio review tables meant something.... and because it was there, the current painting, in its blue underpainting stage where it looks like not much at all: it's hard to tell, unless you're familiar with my studio and that table easel, but the canvas is huger than anything i've ever done before (24 x 30).
