Me, Artist

Me, Artist

 

This is a story about an artist who started a blog and stopped making art.  Me.  Not making art came as a surprise — I love it, and sometimes I do something good.  Or do I?  Is it good enough?  If you’re a creator you know the feeling.

And then that other feeling, the craving, the need to jump in and do it some more.

I do best when I start with an image — one of my own, maybe something I’ve done in Poser or ZBrush, or some clipart or public domain.  Point is that I combine.  So the results can get more and more complex.  And next time they may get moreso.  It’s how I’m wired.

Sometimes they’re done.

Future art prognosis: yesterday I compiled a catalog of just my Photoshop images.  A bunch.  As I make progress on a new idea I’ll post some results here.
