NEWS : April 2nd

I would like to express my general disappointment with some of the people I watch. Artists who shall remain unnamed, who have amazing skill and potential, but who have a tendency of drawing the same thing for every picture, using the same elements, the same poses, not really showing any desire to improve their work. Formulaic, boring, repetitive "art" defines what these people have done in the year or so that I've been watching them.

I've unwatched 2 people today. I wouldn't be sorry if I never saw another work by them again. And that's really sad. I love seeing new art. It inspires me like nothing else.

Neither of these two people watch me, so I doubt they will read this entry... this entry is really for those of you who DO watch me... two questions:

1. Does my work ever strike you as repetitive? (dear god, I hope not)

2. Have you had similar experience to mine, where you're just so underwhelmed with what lackluster stuff some artists have been producing despite their amazing skill and potential?

I've started posting WIPs and sketches in my LiveJournal.

The link is this: [link]

It's not friends-only, it's not discriminative, it doesn't promise anything. It's just a blog for finished art, with some sketches in between.

My current painting I don't have any scans of because the work is too light to show up on a scanner properly. When I've made enough progress to pass the scanner receptivity threshold, I'll post a wip in my lj.
