08.26.10 | I've always really liked the impressionist style of painting. Any way you could fuse that style with what you normally work with? I think it'd look quite cool if you did a portrait like those in your deviant profile with an impressionist style color scheme |

08.27.10 | yea thats a good idea. im just not sure how i could do it at this stage, for reasons involving the materials. Also in terms of concept i meant the kind of "theory" tied in with the work or supporting it. Thanks for the suggestion though |

08.27.10 | Yeah, i'm no art major, although i do really enjoy most visual art. Are you planning on becoming a professional or is this just a hobby? |

08.27.10 | planning on being professional or at least giving it a go for a while. It's my last semester and i just have no real... ideas and i am a long way behind. I also like the idea of making art in response to songs, like stinkfist by tool i was thinking at the moment...maybe |

08.27.10 | Make it mean something. Your art LOOKS cool but there's no message. |

08.27.10 | I think that's a great idea actually, with the music thing. You could possibly do art to a whole album, and let each piece capture the tone and mood of each song, even draw some centerpiece from a song or something.
And all art means something, some of it is ambiguous, some of it is purposefully meaningful. That's really an invalid critique that you shouldn't pay attention too. Just make it yours and i will be good. |

08.27.10 | thanks, though i understand where sniper is coming from and would agree it is a bit of an issue with my stuff. I was actually doing work based on the angelic process album but i feel a bit stifled with that since im not feeling so negative currently haha might have to push through into a depressed state. Thanks heaps for your help too, ill have to update my deviant thing when i finish the work. |

08.27.10 | I'd really like to see it when you're finished, especially if you try to do the Tool album, that seems like it would have a ton of area for good inspiration. :-) |

08.27.10 | ive done 2 works just today based around over stimulation ( how i read into stinkfist?) with a lot of other elements... hard to explain, i will put them up when i can be bothered. Different to how i usually work but im really liking them. |
