    Meterre,
    I loved the border of your painting.

    Cal,
    Show some more of your art will you:)

    Hey Joe,
    Would love to see Proud's art.
    Put something on the painting (using Photoshop etc)like a signature across the painting before uploading on the net.(maybe someone who knows graphics and such can suggest a way to protect the art?)

    Clough,
    Wheres your art... I have heard you are an artist ;)

    About protection of the art work... all you have to do is make c with a circle around it and your initials... if someone copies it, they would be committing copyright infringement... local copy shops know not to break the copyright law

    Does that C represent any legal documents proving it is copyrighted work?
    For example, if I copied someone's work and put C on it, how do they prove that it is not my work?

    Thanks

    Simple yet nice. Sometimes art doesn't need to be this really super complex thing, to be beautiful or fine. Sometimes simple means fine, as long as it's neat or has quality or a message... oh you know what I mean.
    That sketch can definitely become a good work of art, perhaps if you add a touch of color... not too much, to keep it neat and simple. Or perhaps add something happening around it or just something.
    And I'd buy it.

    I like this, Met; your colors work well. I would enjoy seeing some more of your stuff. I wish I could keep things simple but I'm not happy unless I spend another sleepless night trying to figure out a way out of the usual corner I painting myself into that day. Some times I just go at things with head down and at break neck speed. Art is thinking. I need to practice that part more.

The cannon barrel is wood and only weighed 85 lbs, each wheel weighed 95 lbs. A friend of mine had a cool lathe he built himself and I went over there and we worked together on his lathe till I got the shape I wanted. I was hand-honing it before that, but after 2 weeks and seeing how little progress I was making, I gave my buddy a call. The metal strips around the wheels, I got from an iron smithy who made them to my specs. The rest I did myself.

    The coach was real fun to make. I will put up some more pictures of her where you can see the work in progress, also some pics of the other things I built in progress. The hurricane tore the coach up some, but I mended her and she came back together OK.

    Here are different pics of the coach. I have also included a shot of her in construction. I painted her red just to get a protective layer on her because she has to stay out in the weather while I work on her.

    Pic 1) construction of the coach
    Pic 2) a bit of the interior visible
    Pic 3) that's my boy Drac up top driving his ladies (female vamps inside coach).
    Pic 4) this is one of four horses I built the year before to pull the coach

    Here's the Sunset picture I loved so much, the one I shot at my son's house on Thanksgiving. I shot several pictures that day. The first 2 look identical but they are shot 20 minutes apart. The others were all shot in the next hour. I don't know if I can post them all in this post might have to put the others in another post. There are 7 photos in all I shot that day of this unbelievable sunset.

    This painting was done on an 4 ft by 8 ft piece of plywood. My union office asked me to paint it for them.

    This was a large mural that my boss asked me to do for the lobby on the first anniversary of September 11th. It was roughly 20 ft long. The photo of the painting I put up before showing the firemen/heroes painting... well that picture was actually taken from this mural; it was a close up shot of the one below of the fireman poster that was painted into this mural. The fireman painting is actually 24" x 36" here. This is supposed to depict the ghost of a fireman and a female cop standing beside a postal worker who is looking at the poster on the wall. One of my co-workers asked that I make one of the people in the mural a person of color, so to cover all the bases, I made the policeman a female person of color. Note: the post office cap in the workers hand.

    Thanks Firm, I guess I'm just a stickler for details is all.

    The next couple of photos I am going to put up are of my very favorite thing of all time... Tyrannosaurus Rex!! These first two shots are of the article that I read in my local papers about T-Rex Sue; she's what got me wanting to build her. I feel so sorry for the people who found her and worked on her for 2 YEARS digging her out of the mountain pice by piece only to have the government come and take her from them on some phoney baloney charge. Greed! Anyway, I liked her stance in these pictures they had in the papers. I figure if I build her in that pose, I could keep her height more manageable for me to work with. So, they're the pictures I decided to go buy. The next post will show how far I got on Sue before I had to stop. I just got the inner structure done and that was all.

    And here is as far as I got.

    Pic 1) what I was striving for in stance.
    Pic 2) her head almost 5 ft long, hand carved teeth
    Pic 3) had to stand in my neighbor's yard to take this pic... Sue was LONG! 45 feet long.
