On March 7th, I did my 2,300th art work - I catalogue all
of them to keep a record of my work.

This one began as drawing #2269 "Tom as Clown
Napoleon", a quick drawing showing me in a pierrot type
costume with a napoleon type hat - a mix of fun and
homage to Picasso's pierrot paintings.

You can see it (though computers don't do drawings justice)
in the Feb issue of Musea. Start here,
.Musea - Newdex our contents page,
then click on Feb issue. Then go almost all the
way to the bottom, on the right.

I made a copy of the drawing, then colored it with colored
pencils. The hat, and the buttons a rich navy blue, the
background a number of bright shades of yellow, and the
costume white with just a hint of pastel green.
I colored the face flesh color with a more redish cast
on the ears, nose, and shadows on the skin.
Take a look at the drawing, imagine the colors and see what you
think.

I'm getting a thousand visits a day on the Musea website.
Thanks to all for visiting. Others I welcome you to come by
and take a look. There's a lot to see.

I wanted to add this to the e-mail club message.
Anyone who would like a sample of my art
(and you can even suggest the kind,
landscape, still life, portrait, abstract, etc.)
Send me an SASE and I'll send you a copy of
something in either b/w or color.

(address on the website, or in Musea)

I have been to your website and have seen what you call "art". What a
joke... I bet that it took all of 3 days for you to make 2,300 peices of
"art".

From what I have seen, I hope that ALL of your drawings were "quick". It was
a waste of time if it took you more than 30 seconds...

Do you call stick figures art? Are you drawing this crap, or do you have a 3
year old nephew that does it?

Is B/W or color our only choices?

Again, are these UNIQUE hits, or are you sitting in front of your PC and
hitting refresh 1,000 times each day?

And how do we get this newsgroup off his "email" list. I don't remember
anyone in this group subscibing it to his crap.
