There's a link to my site in my profile (and on my site are more links to my stuff), I was going to major in art in college but switched over to psychology, I decided that I just wanted to keep my art as a hobby. If I were doing it for a living it'd become almost an obligation to do, and I'd rather it be something I can do for fun and when I want to.
am just going through your site ... it's quite good ...
yep - you're right ... doing art for money kinna sucks ;o) but then again: I have to eat now and then ...
but - yes ... just doing what you feel like is always more pleasant

Thanks 🙂 I don't quite have the passion for webdesign that I used to, but I still love to just fool around with Photoshop or go out with my camera or draw and paint something....

Well, you don't have to read the book, being nice is a personal choice off course.
But I must admit, I probably got a bit to hard on you at first notice, so blame on me aswell...
I am willing to put the harshness in our 'little discussion' above aside and give it a fresh start. How about you?
;o) yes … being friendly’s a realistic option. ;o)
I, btw, enabled the signatures for a short moment …. and I disabled them again

according to the things I saw you have a way with colors ... I would work on that ... it's a perfect start ... and worth to develop
... and web design really is some kind of pain in the ass when it comes to professionalism. clients just pay too shitty to make it really artsy nowadays. open source freeware CMS – php … difficult to stay on track …

yes ...that's one of the things I've been working on lately ...
it's one of a series of paintings which will be displayed in a fetish shop
Thanks. And very impressive! I can imagine work like that is desired for an exposition.
I do some painting aswell now and then, but I still need lots of practice...

practice is one of the things one can never have enough of ... I started painting like 2 years ago ... I did illustration before (ink & graphite) ... but painting is totally different - I right now just do oil ... but I gotta figure acryl soon - it dries faster and when working on schedule it's sometimes ok to speed up a little.
what kind of painting do you do? ... I label myself (in general) as surrealism

I know... wished I had more time to practice but I have to keep my steady job to be assured of cash, leaving me with less time then I wished. I'm doing magic realism and just funny images. I generally use gouache and black ink.
😮 I have more time than money ... in fact: much more ...
but I just came to this point where I had to decide what I really want to do ... and now I just try to keep on track and really do it ...
I figure my art will be hella expensive once I am dead or so ... life is a biatch ;o) sometimes

My idea exacly, and I'm putting more time in art now-a-days. It still remains sooo time consuming to produce something, so I maybe make 2 remotely good things in half a year.....

that's again this practice thing ... I had to finish 18 paintings in January (for an exhibition in February) ... I was like painting day and night - finally sold 3 of that works and now more or less paint all others over again. A friend of mine (he's painting for 20 years) is doing like 40 paintings each month and selling all of them ... it's very different. though I noticed that 'mainstream-painting' always sells - and that's just not me ... I mainly now paint for fetish-shops, gothic clubs, bars, and stuff ...

I'm not a fan of the mainstream stuff myself too. But 40 a month! Now that is working your fingers to the bone. I should apply such an attitude towards making art to myself some more.
40 is possible once you're really 'into' it ...
that HC Andersen below I painted in 3 hours ... started with white and going down to dark brown - so it's a wet-made painting ...
I think what's most difficult in producing such a number of pictures are the ideas ... I noticed that in January ... after doing 5 or so I was like wondering around for days finding new ideas ...
