What happens to printmakers?

What happens to printmakers right out of school? Well, If you are in the state of Washington or Alaska, arrangements can be made with one of the universities. Might take a bit of time but you might be able to find a suitable arrangement.

But if you are in the state of Florida, there is hardly such luck. Not a lot of Universities open up to people who are not enrolled. It has something to do with insurance, which non-students do not have. So, I was not finding any place that would allow me to work. I did not know many artists in the area, so I started to bully (in a nice way) artists on the street. There had to be somebody out there who knew a printmaker. Sure, enough somebody was able to direct me to a person whom could help me.

So I know that for the next time, if I can't find any college that would accept me, I know that if I persist, I may just conquer.

One word that I would use to describe myself is shameless.

I mean it. I opened this account and half of the stuff that I submit is original work which has been run through a filter or two of photoshop.

One can easily tell if it's sepia, lighting effects or edges.
The cause for this is because I do not like to put an end to certain images. A photograph, a drawing, a print, a digital image... There are so many ways to exercise the demons of the images. It is hard for me to call it quits.

I am in turn surrounded by professional digital people. As I do not count myself amongst them (being a traditional artist myself) I decided to give myself some room for fun.

I see myself as the curious child when the adult says:

"Whatever you do, do not press that button."

And you can guess that I proceed to do just that.

AHHHH!

Such amateur! Two days in this site and I posted a message twice, have had others disappear (one in which I thanked The Starhorse) and forget to really look at the size of my files (I do not suggest zooming in on my stuff until I reload them)

Really such amateur! I should get a hang of it soon

Thank you very much for your message. I love your website. Your fiction is one of the best I have read. I appreciate the fact that you as well as other writers have expanded on these awesome characters that offer so much rich ground to work on.

Thank you very much. That's quite a compliment. :) Yes, I agree -- I think there's a goldmine of characters in the TF realm, especially with the very first groups, and I love trying to delve into the scant profiles each chara was given. It's a lot of fun, and I'm glad you like the outcome. Thanks again!

My first day as a Deviant Artist.

I feel as I should apologize first. Some of my stuff is not that good. *Some*

I opened this account because I have been a fan of some of the artists here so rather than snooping about I thought it best if they at least knew that I have been looking at their stuff. I did not like the idea of being a peeping tom.

I first stumbled upon the website because my search for the infamous lamborghini twins got me here.

Aside from my transformers craze I also have another reason for this site. This is the place where my art work that cannot be considered Fine Arts goes. This is the home of my sketches and doodles. Some of them actually take that leap unto the real of Art. Some do not.
