'Delivered'

Gravity of my gaze,

My will long ago your possession.

Free no more,

Surrender is - my victory.

Pulled from my orbit,

I took the long way home.

030710 - Day 56 of 365 - 'within'

And now for something... Bigger!

I've been feeling constrained by the size I've been working... so I stepped it up a bit. This one is one vellum and is approximately 24" square. I gotta say I likes it,.. I likes it A LOT!

Oh, and after editing the video I noticed the natural ambient sound sped up with the video took on an oddly eerie sound,.. which somehow really worked for this piece. So I left it. (Funny I have NO IDEA what the sounds actually are as it was very late night and I was listening to music in my headphones. Probably a good thing-- these sounds are enough to freak my out!)

Sorry, YouTube isn't cooperating-- I'll embed the video as soon as it recovers.

I'm looking forward to doing more bigger and bigger works!

Enjoy-

030510 - Day 54 of 365 - A few more charcoal sketches

Damn-- these are just too fun not to do (and share) again today!

Isn't that just how things *should* be? : )

030410 - Day 52 & 53 of 365 - NEW CAMERA!!!

OK-- I'll admit I missed a day... but I was still working on this project in an 'indirect way'. I bought a new camera and I think the results you'll see the benefits immediately. It will SIGNIFICANTLY up the quality the videos and still images I share with you.

Now I have to be honest-- I really don't know how to use it yet. Even so, the results are already obvious. All I did was set it on 'Automatic/Whatever' and grabbed some shots.

Take a glance at these charcoals I did tonight-- but to really see the benefit, take a look back to yesterday's entry (030210). I re-shot that painting-- Nooooooooow, you can start to see what's really going on over here!

Enjoy-- I'll have more for you soon,

030210 - Day 51 of 365 - Time Again

030110 - Day 50 of 365 - Time

Today just to mix it up a bit I thought I'd throw a little commentary into the mix... instead of just continuing to push my opinion on you all-- I thought I'd share this clip I saw from some experts. It's a bit long-- but has some great bits of wisdom in there,... as valid as any I've ever heard!

Enjoy-
