Everything so far is quite impressive indeed! Some of these I have seen before ( **pulykamell, GuanoLad, picnurse, yosemite** ) but I enjoyed seeing again none the less. As for **Darwin’s Finch, Chronos, Sunspace, paulberserker, dangergene, Selkie, Sam Stone** (yes, I really liked it) I never knew any of you were into art in the least! Perhaps this evening I will take some pictures and write a longer reply! ---

**dangergene** , I hereby give you (and any other member of the SDMB) permission to draw my contributions to the Improbable Elephant Death thread. (Of course, that doesn’t mean that I won’t try drawing some of them either… I sense drawing ideas forming already.) ---

Cheers. Which reminds me, I have to get on with updating that with a load of new pictures once I can stop going out drinking every night. Poor me. ---

I’m sure this will get a few of those “abstract art sucks” or “it looks like my 5 year old did that”, but here are some of mine anyway: [Warehouse #1 - Enamel and acrylic on wood with Misc objects](http://mysite.verizon.net/res81yn5/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/.pond/warehouse-1.jpg.w560h420.jpg) [Blue #1 Acrylic on canvas with molding paste](http://mysite.verizon.net/res81yn5/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/cameratest1_016.jpg) And just to mix it up with things more people might like here are some of my photos: [Heliconia - Singapore Botanical Gardens](http://mysite.verizon.net/res81yn5/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/flower1.jpg) [Tulips - Mt.

I learned my “it looks like my 5 year old did that” lesson when I went to see some of the abstracts at the National Gallery in Ottawa. Seeing paintings in person is very different than seeing printed reproductions of them. There were some painings there that were solid black. If you reproduced them, they’d look like a waste of pigment. But in person they had _texture_ and depth and were endlessly fascinating. _Bumpy_ black. 🙂 ---

> [@Cuckoorex](#): > > Here’s a smattering of my dinosaur stuff… Those are quite good! I like the psychedelic _Triceratops_ 😃 One of my biggest problems is that I seem unable to draw anything other than a side shot. I also seem to have great difficulty in getting the ideas from my brain to paper; I have what the Robot Devil might term “stupid hands” when it comes to drawing… ---

[My homepage](http://dotchan.com), which hasn’t been updated in eons because I keep procrastinating on the shiny new redesign that I’m supposed to be working on. Art is not my forte, so I decided to cheat a bit and adapt the pseudo-anime style, which is infinitely simpler in doodling something that doesn’t look like 3-year-old scribbles. I’m actually starting to improve a bit, though (I think), and I have a BBS thread of more recent artwork [here](http://dagnabit.org/~crusader/primerchronicles/forum/viewtopic.php?t=654) . ---
