My name is Colin Goldberg, and I am a 34-year old digital artist and
grad student. I just put this site up and would find any feedback from
online users of this group helpful. Please let me know what you think.
If you want, use the form on the site in the studio section to drop a

The work is good graphic design - eye-catching without being challenging.
You seem to primarily rehash themes that are probably are more effective
when directly done by hand, as the sense of risk is not then lost.
As for the site itself, I find the fonts a little too small for clarity on a
1024x768 resolution, and I wonder if the life stories of Mom, Pop, and Sis
are really what you want to hit the viewer with first. You may also want to
find a good editor, as the site is rife with clichés, like "creative
empowerment", and breathless phrasing - as in "...created equally for the
self, the stranger, and the process of creation".

I think that if a person has something to say he should address me in
English using standard gramatical constructions. If he has something he
wants to say artistically he should avoid abstractions and just lay it our
in clear representational art. I dont understand abstract art and believe it
is often used to conceal a lack of talent. It's as if I wanted a builder
to build me a house and he sent a large flatbed truck to my property and
dumped a load of wood, nails, shingles, tiles and wall board on the
property. Then he drove away and never returned. Perhaps he nmay have been
a very talented builder, but I will never know. And I'll resent it,
believing I have been cheated.
Regards, Bill.

I especially liked Laser Slate #3 and the Paris video clip. And I must say
I'm impressed with your technical skill on the laser etchings -- I can
barely get a 3-d bar chart to come out okay from my laser printer.
Regarding the black and white cartesian solids, have you been tagging up
the wall just off the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn? If not, somebody's
been borrowing from someone ;)
The site is a little hard to navigate, though. Most people have thumbs
pages backed by full size images; if you use the zoom-in on these, it loses
resolution.
