Thanks to :iconashigaru: for passing this along, and to Mark Brooks for speaking his mind.

"Mark Brooks, aka :icondiablo2003: is an excellent and well known comic book artist. He just posted a very insightful journal on his DA page.

I would advise everyone to read and reflect on his experience at NYCC. Then ask yourself how we, as artists, designers, and creative people, can change this from being the "norm"."

Very few of my commentors seem to be above the 13-23 age bracket.  I've got to ask...does anyone know WHY?

In the past, a few of my fellow Deviants have used me as a model for their own work.  I didn't realize how many until I tallied them up today, so I'd like to draw a little more traffic to their galleries and showcase their work by directing you to these pieces:

:iconfizzfoam:   Fizzfoam's "Jen"


:iconathenatt:  AthenaTT's "Skyejcb Portrait"

:icongarmr:  Garmr's "Would you give me the time?"and "Digression"

:iconfairyoffire:  Fairyoffire's "Chaos Is Company" (photo:  click for detailed view) and "Flirty Elf"

Please visit a dear friend of mine. He has served as an inspiration to my work for many years. Unfortunately, I'm out of touch with him more than I'd like these days. In any case, go see his site (tip: roll your mouse over the menu items at the top of the page and hold it there for a slideshow of each category.):












Take time to show love to some of my favorite Deviants:

"In 1926 the German art historian Max Friedländer attributed a group of late-fifteenth-century Netherlandish paintings of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child in identical poses to an unknown artist whom he called the "Master of the Embroidered Foliage." Friedländer likened the way that the foliage was painted in these works to the repeated pattern of stitches in embroidery, thus the unusual name for the artist. In 1968 one of these paintings was given to the Clark Art Institute by the executors of the estate of Herbert Lehman, governor of New York State from 1933 to 1942, and the Edith and Herbert Lehman Foundation. This exhibition brings together three related paintings attributed to the Master of the Embroidered Foliage from museums in Bruges, Lille, and Minneapolis. Using modern scientific techniques and traditional art historical methods of investigation we test Friedländer's hypothesis that these works are by the same artist, while also exploring the relationships between the paintings..."
