      oi, do treasure framers, good old ones. Round here they have gotten so rare. I mean, you can still get them cheap-ish at bigger places but its like 4 colors per 3 designs. I buy my frames at garage sales and antique stores, not just for being financially healthy (starving artist) but also because the stuff I like sometimes simply does not anymore exist (hint hint). Yes I admit I love heavy filigree decorated thick gold shiney dusty ancient!
      nothing makes me squeal more than a nice ol frame!

      Right now I feel like a sinner putting my works behind, ugh, glass clippers…

      and yes, pretty stuff that many want does kick prices skyward. I mean, its ok, the artist is for sure happy. What I cannot understand however is if the artist is long since dead.
      however, if you really want it and its good stuff an investing is worth, perhaps start first with buying the works and simple framing them?

      and yes, its frustrating not to get stuff because its so sssspensive. There’s so much on my list, starting from little things that are just like… 20-30$ over my budget up to a…. pony 😉

        spam!

        like the one you can buy in cans en mass:








        each made with watercolor, goldpowder, chalk and inks. Awful to scan. Sizes are postcard or double postcard, hence the smaller pieces for Further Confusion. These are all for FC in … January 24?

          very nice blendings!
          the colors are very rich, thick and bright, but it works perfectly the way you blended and used them. I’m in love with the wolfs wing design 🙂 best part of it all 🙂

                      Hi everyone!

                      I am searching for (in context of my project Beyond (see artthread)
                      Literature, artwork, Designs, movies (architecture… though I am sure that does not exist) etc etc that are basing on the idea of:

                      your emotion, your soul, your idea projected into a living being, a symbol, a creature, a thing with a name. Something that interacts with its “owner” perhaps on a mental level. Or made up stories with characters that represent the autor in different ways of thinking or different past influences.
                      Up to a point something similar to split personality only… not as crazy.

                      Something similar like Daemons in The Golden Compass (though I am more looking more for personal and hence invisible ones) or furry personas (which I cannot take as I need something with a name and preferably “published”). I need this for text we have to write on your projekt. They want us to find similar existant samples. I am kind of blank right now and I do not only want to have the Golden Compass as a reference because its a really bad timing with the movie doing… pretty bad in Switzerland (I’ll anyhow refer to the books but right now there are posters everywhere and not many here know it was a book).

                      Any suggestions, names, links very welcome… I currently only see in pixels with my 3 hour sleep brain…
                      Not to mention I grew up making up fairy tales and arts for myself, hence I believe you fantasy lovers here may have actually more chances of knowing more than me.

                      thanks in advance 🙂

                      greets

                        because its just fresh and steaming from just yesterday:

                        people (usually seniors, nothing gainst em) who never really get out into the world and then decide to make a trip by train at 7 am and then chat with their friend(other seniors) about how cool this was and how much preparations they had made (like cleaning their shoes) and how nice the weather was and what they had had for breakfast and what would be up for lunch and bla bla bla in a very very loud voice wanting to be heard by everyone in the train

                        oh, whats even worse: people mentioned above discussing about all em futuristic things, like *drumroll* the internet…*whooooaaa!*

                        aaaannnd: one of above mentioned alone seeking conversation with you in similar style/theme at 7pm after a loooong day of school.

                        maybe its just the town I live 😉

                        Hence my MP3 player, not for the music, for the ear plugs and as anti talk-to-me-option…

                          hahaha!

                          our cat used to drag in the biggest fieldmouse he could find, place it infront of the sofa and watch it disappear under it (we have like a huge sofa consisting of 6 clamped togheter sofa seats) and then MEWWWW heartbreakingly until someone came to help.

                          then Mum and I would heave and shove the sofa whiles the mouse was scribbling under it (and a very eager cat was sticking head and paw under the sofa).. and once I dropped the bloody sofa in an impossible moment and squashed the mouse ( I didnt know it was just precisely under that part of the socket) 🙁 I never felt so bad…

                            oh geez I live behind the moon!
                            I completly missed this one!

                            I do not at all know about lovenox thing… but I had some very sweet pill experience too. First my appetite went weird, I went from a bitching crying to a totally dead frigid and all, BUT most of all one of the softest pills actually made me bleed a full 30 days in a row. Doc said it was normal but I threw the thing away when I was said “you are looking so pale, whats wrong with you?” by nearly everyone.
                            I do want kids but I want them AFTER school and preferably after I found a job, even if my boy says he will provide all.
                            I admire you for going through this, I’d not have lasted even for the first needle in sight only…
                            you’re a wonderful person

                            Sweety, dont give up art. I know of many artists who have babies and kids and still get to do art, it isnt final, you sound like you want to give up fully. Keep a bucket of color and canvas close and you see you will find time and you will feel better drawing.
                            I wish I could do more than just offer thoughts and best wishes and positive net karma. If you need someone to talk, give me a nudge.
                            I just yesterday quickly flipped through the pages you have online of the book you plan, it looks friggin awesome! you’ve been very busy! I must order a copy!
                            bway, i cant recall if I have your address, I’d love to send you a Christmas card 🙂

                            *hugs*
