Journal Entry: Sat Oct 13, 2007, 11:59 PM
So I've been a non-account lurker at DA for the past couple of years, which meant that I, of course, ended up massing a LOT of DA related bookmarks. Eventually I got fed up with the disorganisation - as well as my own procrastination - so voila! Here I am, brand-new account in hand.

I am traditionally, and most comfortably, a pencil-medium amateur still-life artist. However, since I a) do not have a scanner and b) haven't a clue how to work one even if I did, such works will not appear here.

Photography definitely isn't one of my better skills, but, hey, my theory is that if you take enough of 'em, there's bound to be at least a couple which turn out - surprisingly - artistic.

...Practice really DOESN'T make perfect - but I AM improving if nothing else... albeit very slowly.

N/B: I probably also should mention that most pieces have not been digitally altered in any way, shape or form. ...Mainly because I suck at Photoshop, not at all because it was a conscious decision to do so on my part. >_<

With that being said... enjoy!

Critique welcome. Flames make me laugh. ^^

Talent is what gets you started, but skill is what keeps you going. Someone can be talented, but if they don't practice to develop skill, it's a total waste.
