Visual Arts - January 2007

I know Michael Angelo painted the Sistine Chapel but did he employ painters to lay on their backs and paint or did he do it completely by himself.

I'm a young self representing artist for about 3 yrs now, I do pretty good, considering i'm only 21 and am alreayd gallery represented. but my own client base is hurting. I can't quite seem to paint the right things. I like to paint, and I usually paint anything. I'm low on ideas. What is more appealing to a buyer... Traditional landscapes (bob ross), Abstract , Still life (fruit) seascape , beaches...lighthouse...creepy things (scary faces ect.) ,animals?
Please help with as much information on what you like to see... Check out my site and if you want, you can tell me extra comments, I love feedback, positive or negative.
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,

It has been years since I've done manual photography, and I'm afraid I've forgotten all but a very little bit of it.

I would like a book that offers several things:

1. Chapters devoted to how to work with various things, like the F-stop, depth of field and flash, etc...

2. "Assignments" for each chapter

3. Preferably *not* a book designed to be used in a classroom, but rather something an individual can use on their own.

If you know of a book, please list it here, and if possible, a link to something like Amazon or Ebay or other seller that I could find it with a review. TIA.

A few days ago, I went into a local coffee shop for lunch when I noticed they used their walls as a mini gallery. It was quite a nice space. After lunch I spoke with the owner who said they had some space available in May. Right now I have the kind of portfolio of a black plastic cover with plastic sleeves with the black acid free paper to allow two photos per page.

The problem is that this is the bare minimum and I am worried that she will not want to show my work because my work is presented poorly. I really cannot spend a lot of money mounting everything on foam core boards and matting them (although I do want to). Does anyone have any suggestions and/or useful experiences to share? I would appreciate the help since this is the first time I am meeting with someone about possibly showing my work. Thanks in advance.

The paint has a blue sky, and there is a black tree and a gentleman without face with a round hat.

i like deep violet, l try to paint so the colour is sort of bordering on the visible range...combined with deep blue its a great combination...but this is just my thought...what is the colour combination that sings to you and why?

I'm really into photography lately, but I'm running out of ideas on what to photograph. Anyone have any ideas? I'm open to anything that's around the house, outside, etc. Please don't suggest places to go or things like that because I can't drive yet (too young).

So, any ideas on what to photograph..and maybe cool editing effects to do on them? I love HDR and black and white. What would be cool to photograph in black in white? Thanks for all your suggestions.

Is it really possible to create the "Impossible" figures created by M.C. Escher in digital form using any "3D/2D Graphics or Modelling Softwares" like Rhinoceros 3d? As I find it very difficult to reproduce the illusions created by Escher in his prints because computergraphics tools I use (Rhino3d) always have been unable to iterpret the data for these figures?Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
