I was just thinking about you the other day! :] the website looks fantastic-love the layout! I adore the direction your art's gone over the past years... it's so creepy and off-putting (in a good way, obviously). I especially love that monster exhibit :D awesome work, all of it! (We should really catch up sometime-it's been forever since we've talked!)
Yeah, I'm still on MSN and AIM :] skype too, but I barely use it. MSN's still the good ole star_karashii@hotmail.com. I've still got one of your SNs added, but I don't know if it's the one you use anymore XD
Love it. Simple design, yet classy. Easy to navigate. It lets your work do the standing out without distracting it with bells and whistles. SWAMP's not mentioned on the links page, but I'll live :P
Some very cool art work. I shall be subscribing to your journal.
Haha, there are better ways to be asked to put on the links page - I only added whatever I could think of but was bound to miss stuff. You're there now! :)
And I will be looking further at your word request thing on your journal later :)
SWAMP is ever grateful for the help! I'd reciprocate the gesture, but the uni only likes links to itself --- and since they're paying the bills, I follow their lead!
Hey, nice. I'm about to head off to golf so I will have to come back later and take a proper look around your site, but it looks pretty sweet so far.
On the subject of your lack of inspiration that you mentioned in your journal, you might find this comment that I left in Emmy Cicierega's liverjournal last night interesting. She has actually since gone and deleted the entry I posted it in, because she seems to have freaked out about people (mainly me, I suspect) taking things "too seriously", which is kinda weird. But maybe it will be of more interest to you?
Oh, and my comment was in response to this video, which is twenty minutes long and not really worth watching, so a quick summary: it was presenting the idea that creative people should think of themselves as a "conduit" for new ideas, which come to them from some other mysterious ethereal place. It then goes on to discuss ancient Greek and Roman ideas about creative people receiving their ideas from "daemons" and stuff. The point was that this would ease the pressure on artists
( ... )
Haha, thanks for the link. I think any good art school soon smashes any illusions most of us have about inspiration coming from the divine or anything like that. One of my favourite books that I think touches upon that subject is "Art and Fear". Awesome book, I recommend it to all artists.
But in any case, I need to be thinking about mermaids and getting ideas about 'em, so you know, feel free to enter the contest in my journal! Inspiration doesn't come from the divine but I'm hoping my friends can give me a bit! ;)
Sorry I don't have time to discuss this more in depth currently, I'm meeting a pal for breakfast today!
Yeah, obviously the divine thing was fairly silly. My main point was that inspiration is one of the few things I don't have any problems with (I mean, I literally have several hundred comics waiting to be drawn, plus a summary of what may one day end up being a graphic novel, plus a whole bunch of other sorely neglected projects), so I thought you might be interested in hearing about my approach to it.
Also yeah, I'll try and drop some mermaid ideas on you later, once I have scientifically deduced the ideal concepts. ;)
