I scanned it in color and adjusted it to the sepia side. I cleaned it up a bit, but left it chunky because Hellcat and Anonymous are very much creatures of cyber-space and I wanted it to feel like they had just materialized from a cyber wall. I make my own drawing board, so what you are seeing as texture, is a result of brushmarks in the ground.<BR/>We have a friend(Kep!...see his link on the sidebar) who is a fantastic magician. We were at a fancy restaurant and he did the standard "pick a card" trick, but when it came time for the reveal... the card was gone. We thought he had messed up, but then someone noticed our card stuck to the ceiling!!! I still don't know how he did that one:)))LDahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063861840067555655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744128.post-1157769606162759492006-09-08T21:40:00.000-05:002006-09-08T21:40:00.000-05:00Thank you Ramin.

Have you ever read the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron? My copy is coming apart I've read it so much. I think it is the one MUST HAVE book for anyone wanting or needing to be creative. Check it out, she says being "green" is cool because it means you are pointed in the right direction. I'm so happy you don't let green stop you from saying what you feel...you are pretty special!<BR/><BR/><B>Sweet Pea</B><BR/>Thank you Sweet Pea!!!!!!<BR/><BR/><B>Jaimie</B><BR/>It's just a pencil drawing, I toned it in Corel 8, which I think I'm beginning to outgrow after all these years.(It was a great program, I'm hearing a lot of good comments about the new one and may check out upgrading after awhile)<BR/><BR/><B>The Mysterious Poodle Circus</B><BR/>You bet!!

I think I'm going to pack him on up and send him over to your place."<BR/><BR/>I lived for about five years in a very haunted house... not that I really believe in all that, but I do...now isn't that weird? ON one hand or the other kind of thing. I got up about two in the morning once to ALL the toys (that had those features) talking, plinking, revving their little engines and giggling... etc, one that wasn't in the toy box was just rolling up and down the hall talking to itself...<BR/>a very strange thing to wake up to. Ahh, the stories I could tell about that house, but the really weird thing, it never freaked me out. The toy thing was pretty strange though 'cause it really sounded like they were all talking to each other. <BR/>I miss me ghosties now:( They were family... not that I believe in all that stuff.<BR/><BR/><B>Alina Chau</B><BR/>Thank you so much Alina, wow, cool!!!<BR/><BR/><B>Toni Kelly</B><BR/>Thank you Toni!!!!!!!!!! You bet I'm interested, I really think we could do something cool together. I think I've only known one other person that could letter like you, and he was one of those people that was brilliant at one thing as it was all he could do. You on the other hand make fabulous art too!<BR/><BR/><B>Modroom</B><BR/>I AM keeping so busy, I am glad the head is a closed system or me brain would fall out:)))) Some days I think it will blow up and come flying out my ears at the speed of light.... that would be a red shift I'd never want to see:))<BR/><BR/><B>Aravis</B><BR/>Thank you Arvis, we can only hope they return, refreshed and claws sharpened...*Giggle* *hork*<BR/><BR/><B>Jaimie</B><BR/>I rather like spooky, don't you:) thanks for the really nice comment!<BR/><BR/><B>vfm4</B><BR/>How have you been?
