Thanks! After a long time, I finally realized what many have already...how immediate and "in the moment" the experience of art is supposed to be. So I (actually, I should say 'We' - my wife does all the paper cutouts, [I have such a big ego]) have started glueing the stuff of childhood on sketches... Sparkling sprinkles, wrapping paper cutouts that shines, rhinestones, plastic. We use an Envirotex Clear Spray (no fluorocarbons) to keep the sprinkles on. When I photograph with a Nicon Coolpix, I noticed how the camera picked up the shine and spread it. When I bring the picture into photoshop, I first increase contrast and brightness, then I increase the saturation of the colors... I feel that I get these magical pictures that work well on simple white web pages. If you ever want to put up a page, and don't have the time to learn how, just send me the pictures and I will be happy to make simple pages for you. -- Joseph Franklyn McElroy Cor[porat]e [Per]form[ance] Art[ist]� Take the survey they are all talking about... http://www.electrichands.com/genius2000 Electric Hands, Inc 212.255.4527 www.electrichands.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
