That was done when I was 17 - she was my girlfriend, Liz Newell. Should never have let her go... Sigh. :'(

Have you ever tried looking her up ?


Title: Re: any artist out there
Post by: Fastbrit on June 19, 2008, 07:01:06 am
Last I heard (about 30-something years ago) was that she got married and had a kid. But she could be divorced and horny now, of course! ;D

Although I teach Design and Technology, I'm not much of an artist. Some of my old club-mates were far better! I'll have to get some pics of Brad's pinstriping and gold leaf work, it's stunning, and Ben used to have a fantastic style of laying out pages for print, as well as very cool little illustrations.
Best example is Rich "Selecta" Whitlock. He's the guy behind the Bus Selecta, Bug selecta etc. You've probably seen www.busselecta.com, but if not, waste a few hours! ;D

I doodle now and again. Mostly when my 7 yr old neice is around... she loves kooky stuff. When she was 3-4 yr old, I'd really get her worked up by drawing weird stuff, like a duck with hammers for wings or a drawing of a drawing of a drawing or a lady with radial tires for bracelets and necklace. She'd just stare at the drawings, dumbfounded. Now she 'returns the favor' mailing me pictures of people with dishsoap bottles for necks and stuff.

My friend Sean and I used to wear fax machines out all day between Tower Records and Buggy House... crazy stuff going back and forth all day, he used to come up with some odd stuff.... a cat in chains and a bondage outfit comes to mind....

I'm into photography.. just got my newest toy, a Canon 40D to replace my Digital Rebel XT ...
here's some of my stuff.. (all of these except Sammy Hagar and the Eiffel Tower were taken with the Digital Rebel XT.. Sammy was taken with a small digital Canon 5mp camera, and the Eiffel was taken with a film SLR.. I haven't had much chance to play with the 40D yet)

That last one of the Eiffel Tower, I actually took with a 35mm Film SLR instead of a digital camera... it was back before I had a good digital SLR... I just had the negative scanned so I could reproduce it whenever I wanted.
