14 Days -- Dan

Wow, that was absolutely wild. By and large my 14 days went pretty smooth,
even though I was unusually busy this year with work, music and a three-day
road trip. I made art a daily priority -- just like many of you did -- and
cranked them out.
Naturally, I wish some pieces would have resolved differently, but I think
many of them benefited from me running out of time :-)
In addition to exploring some new techniques and new approaches, one of the
things I wanted to accomplish this year was keeping the finished digital
file sizes as large as possible (except on the web, of course!). Most turned
out to be about 16 MBs, and three are over 50MBs. The enlargements will be
awesome!
Congratulations to all who participated this year. Time to parrr-tayy!! (but
first....sleep. It's the wee hours of Wednesday morning here).

8's got nice form with the crossing lines and 9's got a fruit bowl
appearence which I really like
I love the energy in 11 and it would look good in the home office I have
planned.
Now how about some of them enlarged files you were talking about for 4 and
11? Seriously, is any of the work for sale?

I like a lot "Hydrant" and "Electrical Bananas"... but I'm absolutely in
love with "Blue Rust".
Let me know how much you're asking for "Blue Rust"...I'd like to see if I
can afford it... what medium was it created? Was it digital-only?
Keep it up, Dan!
Yours truly,

Congratulation for your works, you have a lot of taste.
I like a lot the medusa series and last embrace too.
But the one I prefer is clothing optional, a very impressive chromatic
choice with a beautifull dynamic effect.
Electric Banana could be made by Andy Warhol in acid trip. (is not an
offense but a positive comment).
Do you plan to print some of your graphic works over big support?
I think that clothing optional could have much more impact and I'm ready to
buy a signed copy from you :-)
Have a good Karma

That's some BEAUTIFUL work!
My favorites are Fire Hydrant and Blue Rust. Any chance you would part with
hi-res versions of those? I've been looking for something new to put on my
wall.
See you in the Badger Lounge!

A very exciting exploration of textures! I really enjoyed your use of
colour and shape in the pieces :) And of course, Electric Bananas just
rocked :) "Last Embrace" was very emotional too - sort of wistful :)
Thanks for sharing (as well as starting the whole thing off in the first
place ;)

Thanks, Helen. It's all digital. I got the basic feel of it going in Painter
7 with a Wacom tablet. Then I needed a texture or an element from somewhere
else to give it some body, so I used my digital camera to photograph some
shirts that were on hangers (I photographed other things, too, but ended up
going with the shirts). I used the shear command in Photoshop to curve them,
then popped them into the Painter art for layering and sandwiching. The
underlying pastel texture you mention is a result of mixing/multiplying
Painter's chalk with the texture of the fabric. The smooth lines are felt
markers.

There's that Wacom tablet again. It's going on my wishlist now....

Wow! Fantastic, and very innovative! I thought there was a texture there,
however I didn't pick that it was a shirt...
> I used the shear command in Photoshop to curve them,
No wonder I couldn't see them ;o)

Oh, I meant the felt markers looked like pastels... woops. And the felt
markers were done on the Wacom too? Truly artistic.
I've just made up a list of all the things I'm going to try out this year,
and the Wacom tablet will be one.

I have one also, let me know if you have any questions, :)

hey there sweety. :)
The Medusas. Second one [Medusa Too] more interesting in terms of color
spectrum and placement.
I like the layer on layer effect that breaks the color flow. Wonderful.
Hydrant: I love this gritty, dried-in-the-sun, texturized feel you get with
some of your pieces. This works well here with the line of yellow down the
right and the bulk of the mass shifting lower right, as well. Nice aesthetic
placement.
Dagney: Is this a photo trace or a freehand drawing? Nice clean lines and great
hair effect. Love her expression. Background intergrates nicely and sets off
line color in main model. Well done.
Elec-trickle Banana: sorry, I can't stop singing that song now... you liked the
brown spots on your bananas, didn't you? :)
Did you ever see film burn up in the wrong projector while trying to show it on
a screen? This piece reminded me of that. It's a funny story, remind me to tell
it to you. lol
Blue Rust: another one of your beautiful color studies.
Clothing Optional: great color combo and wonderful strong movement with those
felt tip lines! Nice.
Last Embrace: This piece speaks volumes. It is the strongest piece here in
regard to stirring emotions. Lovely and sad at the same time. Bravo.
The Girls: In a word; charming!
Hey, Dan, this was fun again, yes!

Dan, you're gonna make me like abstracts whether I want to or not,
aren't you?
The yellow onions and the fire hydrants are my favorites.
Amber Waves reminds me of the pastel landscapes of one of my teachers in
college. Same brush strokes and texture feel.
Amazing how much color there can be in an egg...

My apologies for not responding sooner, Dan.
Excellent work (though what else would you do?). Your command of color and
texture is phenomenal. "Hydrant" rocks -- full of attitude and intensity.
"Blue Rust" is beautiful, serene and gritty and geometric all at once.
"Clothing Optional" has good shock value thanks to the color and energy of
the strokes.
Nicely done.

I did the same thing for most of my pieces, at least the ones I thought
might be good. "The Verb Urban" is over 200mb! Brings my poor little
Photoshop begging... thank God for 512 megs of RAM, but I may need more yet.
