lampkin said:Nice work Ash, I really like your style. I can tell you have a good understanding of tarot too. What medium do you use? Earlier I was referring to HR Geiger, the artist who designed the concept for the Alien movies. You must have heard of him. I think you'd like his art.
lampkin! hello...
I use ink on paper, occasionally charcoal because I love the rich contrast that it gives. The Ace of Swords was done with charcoal and I find the finished work much prettier without fixative. However, my carelessness will ruin everything if I don't use fixatives on charcoal.
Ohhhh.. that Geiger... hell yeah. I love his work. Great master of modern day fantasy art. I don't think I'm anywhere near his planet, let alone his league but thanks for the compliment.
Confession though, I didn't know his name but I have admired his work for a long time. **blush, please excuse my ignorance**
memries said:Do you lick your wounds and get up and keep going or do you bow down and become invisible. I have been both a fighter and invisible. I, also, am a seeker. So, yes your art does appeal to those things inside me now past, I hope, for nothing can return from the dead.
Keep going as hard as it may be.
I think those who've been there can relate to my images, memries so I'm glad you can because a path once taken is another tile we keep in our collection of memories. It's how much we learn from them that counts, so I've learnt not to beat myself silly over things I cannot change..
I had a signature at the bottom of my reply when I was reading for ATA, which I was hoping desperately would serve as a hint to my querents who come across helpless, lost or too wounded to see beyond the trees. I don't tell them what to do per se, against policies and all but I was hoping something inside might click when they saw it.

This man was amazing and I think we all have the potential to become great, if we're not already there
