Herzlichen Dank für die netten Worte. Deine Bilder sind interessant. Hier ist ein Meister am Werk. Jetzt weiß ich auch wen ich anhauen kann, wenn ich mal wieder Probleme mit Photoshop habe. Bei den WIPs besteht immer die Gefahr, dass man während des Prozesses ein Fiasko erlebt. Es ist also eine zweischneidige Angelegenheit. Freut mich aber sehr, dass Du sie aufschlussreich findest.

... von wegen "Meister" ! Grundschüler bin ich. Ich versuche, vieles durch try and error herauszukriegen und lese viele Hilfestellungen bei PSD-TUTORIALS.DE. Sehr empfehlenswertes Forum !

Thanks for asking and so sorry for my absence. We are having a little health crisis here (Felix mainly, spending a week in the hospital) that my thoughts are a bit occupied. On top of that it seems that after workshop with Dirk I fell into an artistic hole so to speak. My desire to draw, and hence to spend time on DA is at a low right now.

So good to hear that the exhibition in New York had a positive outcome for you and it brings you closer to your personal goal to only live for and by your art.

I am still following Gerald and enjoy all the works and inspirations he posts. Does he intend to follow this 'antique' look for the rest of the year or is it something he will only explore for some time to then later move into other directions? Does this have, next to post one picture a day, an additional underlying motto?

Cheers my friend and greetings to Val,
Reinhard

as he told me (he is kind of a dodgy fellow) the antique look seem more apropos to lo-fi Photography. Plus he kind of feel like me that why show whats pretty in everyone eye when you can turn them on to the beauty of the overlooked, he has a great point there. He also said he spend no more than fifteen minutes a day on it something about having more important things to do, what he needs is better work ethic. Kind of like you and me Reinhard

So many thanks Gerald. I am honoured. I have a very good teacher and example to follow. Hopefully, one day, you will meet him too. He has helped me so much on my way and still is.

I was really wondering and had a note to you on my to-do list. Great to hear they are keeping you busy and that the ArtPrize was not a completely negative experience for you. Can you share what you are producing at the moment?

Armin, my friend. Such sad news. Please know that Regina and I feel very deeply with you. All we can say is that we wish you strength in this difficult time. Losing the parents, even if it were, as you say, 'his time', it still hurts. As I said to you when we learned of your beloved mother's death, people are only really gone, once we forget them. Parents we never forget. They will always continue to live in us.
Please let me know if there is anything we could help.
Best regards,
Regina & Reinhard

Many thanks for these kind words. I am honoured. But that you have not done anything, as you say 'decent' I can't agree with that. You have a very distinct style shining through and your work is very beautiful in its own right. Armin Mersmann (nimra here) told me that we have to find ourselves in what we do and not try to imitate and compare to others. It took me a while to understand but I think I am coming closer to it.

Thanks very much for the heads up. I wish you all the very best. Keeping the concentration for one year on a very complex drawing requires a very dedicated artist. I recall having read that Courbet drew over a year on a work as well. I was always wondering though if the artists worked exclusively on that one piece or if it were an on-off thing. Knowing how dedicated you are to your art, I am sure you will keep the concentration and patience for that time and it will be a stunning piece. Hope that one day you'll share.
Greetings and our very best to Val as well.
Cheers, Reinhard

Armin, I am but rather limited. There is a slow-down since quite some time. At ST as well and at WC I am no longer active. Seems that they are all going through a slump, not only artistically but quantitatively as well. My impression at least. Why not test it with your SP which IMHO is VERY interesting and impressive, AND different. It is definitely worth showing to all. Whether the response will be justifying your post is a risk I have to admit.

But even here, in subgroups like Graphite-Gods and God-is-a-pencil, activities are slowing down. I have noted that submissions (in my case Life's Lines) are either pending since 2 weeks(God-is-a-pencil) or were rejected because of 'timed out' (Graphite-Gods). As Í have said before: 'life is tough but unfair'.

Have you started your 'monster drawing of trees' as yet?
