Well, that's a shame about the marker experiment. I hope they are better now too since I use them a lot, especially for backgrounds. Can you try spraying one with just a regular finish of some type? I would be interested if that makes a difference.

Maybe some colors do better than others. Also, you ordered a different brand right? I wonder if they will do better. Thanks for experimenting.

Status: online 		Thanks Alma! Well, I guess I am going to have to think about going back and spraying everything I have with marker and pencil (sigh).

Here is one I did entirely in oil pencils, (well, except for the Prismacolor markers in the background), so it's not supposed to have any wax bloom or dulling problems. I dug out some old Walnut Hollows and used my new Faber Castell's too.

This one is called "The Cloud, Before Internet"...(-:



I just had to add:
00100010 01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01000011 01101100 01101111 01110101 01100100 00101100 00100000 01000010 01100101 01100110 01101111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01001001 01101110 01110100 01100101 01110010 01101110 01100101 01110100 00100010 (That's Binary code for the title of my artwork, "The Cloud, Before Internet").

Alma, I prefer the blue one, but for selling online you'd need to use the one that matches the original, right? Of did I not understand your question?

Oh sorry! I'd forgotten that you sell a lot of prints. You really could do sell both, although I do like the blue one more, probably because it's a little different.

This one seems to be getting kind of cumbersome...

I don't want cumbersome, that is why I called it Face The Day. It is whenever you have something. I am not doing every day wouldn't even be possible!

BTW Sherrie I googled Pop surrealism art yesterday and yours was the first image listed on page one. Way to go!

That would take over my life like you said in the beginning. I don't know how those "Image A Day" people do it...lol.

Well, thanks for the congrats.

But...I imagine if I'm popping up under a search for Pop Surealism Art it''s probably because I used that for one of the tags on some of my artwork.

But hey, I'll enjoy it for whatever reason it popped up.

What do you get when you combine the following:





Some people prefer 2 of ingredient 3, so add to taste!

Now that It is woreless it is much easier on me. Also I don't know if it is the new drawing tablet I have a bamboo rather than wacom but I actually have much better control and cAn even sign my artwork right from the tablet! Anyhow, I am now back to where i started which is how do you valuate digital? you for sure know what that is like! it is just you can do so mjuch more digitally than you can tablet and colorpencil, paint or whatever.

Status: offline 		That is exciting. I am glad you are doing so well with the tablet. I have to admit that my tablet and I don't get along very well and I have hardly used it. It is a shame really that I don't. I just can't get the feel of the pen. I am so impressed with what you have done!!

That book sounds like it has really spoken to you and gotten you going!

Trying to figure out the value of digital work is hard....and so many people think it is a non-art and that is so upsetting. Personally, I just look at the final image. Is it good, do I like it, does it work? Then I decide it is of value and price from there. I don't think it matters how you got there as much as what you have ended up with.

This is the same advice that my aunt Ruthie gave me many years ago...it is a good reminder, as she and you were very wise!!!
