joflashera post that is neither rant nor horses...instead, I give you Work
My project is going well. I demoed it to the board of directors a few weeks ago, it was a huge hit. My department head wants me to submit proposals for 2 IRADs next year based on it. It looks like everything will end on schedule and I haven't had to kick anyone on my team too hard.
We had one small SNAFU where the old project leader forgot to tell me that the final review was scheduled for a May 13th (next thursday), but that's fixed now. Final review is now happening mid-June. If it weren't for the 50+ pages of documentation I have yet to write, work would be wonderful. As is, work is pretty good.

Re: Question...
Date: 2004-05-07 01:24 pm (UTC)You trade a pic of yours I like for a pic of mine you like...
We can also make pics ourselves that we think the other will like and trade them...
I like to ask people who read the Dermal Highway stories to portray something from the stories that inspires them, and sit back to see what they see.
Sometimes I will do part of a picture and give it to someone else to work on...so that the resulting picture is a hybrid of two artist's work, a creative cross breed.
I have also done things like had someone draw a creature and then, from the picture they hand me, tell a story about where that creature lives, and how it lives.
As for not seeing your failures...you will be your own worst critic.
I have loads and loads of 'failures' that I keep, whole pages of endless sketches that I occasionally refer back to, and even pull out, take tracing paper to, and redraw.
There's been countless times of me pulling out these relics for friends who want to see 'more of my art', meaning more than the sparce specimens I have in my living room, and hearing their exclamations at my 'failures.'
I have even used my sketch pages as wrapping paper for gifts.
All of it is equally valueable.
Email me at Matriarch@dermalhighway.org and we can toss things back and forth to one another there, if you like. I have scanned things, including an 'art projects' folder I can show the contents of to you.
