When I decided I wanted to one day have work in the Vancouver Art Gallery I went down there and asked what I needed to do. The answer was that they plan shows three YEARS in advance and you needed to have a pretty good C.V. So the first step was to get an art [...]
I’m learning to paint in photoshop, and doing so by drawing my own lineart and then colouring it. If I could get ahold of a scanner. I have stacks of pictures and I need a scanner.

But on basically everyone else, there is just something *catchy* about them, like [...]
Back in the day, artists’ best method of travel would be to hook up with a rich kid going on the Grand Tour. Basically, if you were rich a few centuries ago, you didn’t get a digital camera, you got a Travel Buddy/Artist Cam instead.
