Portraits of the Artist or how I've seen myself over the years.

  As long as art has existed, so has the self-portrait. I think that's because at any given time, the artist is his or her own most available subject. I never have to beg myself to pose. I never have to worry about running out of patience with myself. I never get insulted if the work ends up..um not so flattering. Anyway, here are a few examples of how i have seen myself over the years.
 
 
 
 
                             

First time with Anime Studio Pro

Hey out there, I'm back from outer space!. I keep planning to get back to this. But, you know.....WEED. Lol, any how,  i was fumbling around in these internets and I found a little program called Anime Studio Pro. Animation has never really been something I was interested in. I love all art, but looking at it from the outside, it looked...well, tedious. And boring. 28 frames per second sounds like a way to punish a person.
  Anyway I decided to fumble around with Anime Studio, especially after
I saw a YouTube tutorial about how ready it is to use Photoshop to import existing artwork.
  What happened next gives me an idea about heroin or crack addiction. I misplaced hours then days giving motion to my portfolio. I'm not about to create the next Simpsons, but I have made myself smile by giving  life to some stuff that I had never imagined in motion.  Or with voices. I mean, once they start moving I needed to hear them. This is also when I realized most of the things I draw don't sound like me. Atleast not in my head.
  Don't know who I'd recommend Anime Studio Pro to. Most of the people I know who are into animation already love it or hate it. So I'll try this. It is possible to create
 wonderful art with ASP. But it ain't easy. But with some effort It is definitely worth it. I'll post some YouTube videos when I get up. Its been a long night.
  

Review: Codex Katzikaki: a book of pictures by Dante Hadley

  The first thing I noticed about this book was the beautiful cover. Then I noticed it had no writing on it. no title, no name. Don't ask me why.

  Many of the pictures are disturbing, but most are extremely beautiful and visionary. The inventiveness that it took to come up with all these conceptions of a hypothetical land is staggering.
  Some people with whom I have shared this book find me frightening or disturbing in some way. It seems to them to glorify entropy, chaos, and incomprehensibility. There is very little to fasten onto; everything shifts. Yet the book has a kind of unearthly beauty and logic to it, qualities pleasing to a different class of people: people who are more at ease with free-wheeling fantasy and, in some sense, craziness. I see some parallels between musical composition and this kind of invention. Both are abstract, both create a mood, both rely largely on style to convey content...so yeah, MastoDon likes this. Inspite of the fact this ass-monkey keeps turning the name around.

Finally finished: My Tarot (major arcana) completed

Finished it! I plan on doing the minor arcana next. but not right now. I'll keep you posted with info on the upcoming book of the complete work " And then the next one".
