I have been painting a long time and am very secure in my ability to create what I consider art with it’s own original feel to it. But recently I bought a good digital camera and started taking what I hope will be considered artsy-fartsy photographs.

The problem is good photography is in a league of it’s own.

So, the question is: Do these photographs suck or do I have any potential as a serious photographer?

No, I don’t expect to reach the heights of Man Ray or Ansel Adams. But I am curious about what you think here. So be totally honest.

I'm working a day job in the city and have been here about 3 months, was a art major in college but originally came here to pursue acting. That disire has faded from the picture and now all I like doing is my art and music. I'm doing about a painting a month right now. I've never really had alot of desire to sell my work till recently, but when I was going to school I never really researched how since I was doing the acting thing. So I really don't know how it works other than knowing the right people helps, buts thats for everything.

Hi everyone I just printed a Great Resident 4 Evil Wallpaper using a 1024x768 file. The print size was 18x24 inches.
However I have a big problem now the Picture has comeout very Blocky/Plixelaited. I know I have to have a very good High Resolution file to print out in this size.

However the Photo is only available in 1024X768 format and I hear Photoshop CS2 has a Technique to upsize small files for large Printing purposes, and still retain the same quality

Does anyone have any Idea how to go about doing this?
How to upsize the photo and still get the same great quality or atleast as close as possible.

Please Help me people, I love my games all i want is to Print large Posters and hang them up in my gaming room

Please help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am beggin.

I'm an artist and I love my Converse Chuck Taylors. Naturally I would like to take my obsession one step further and customize my favorite shoes. Only problem is I've never really painted clothing before and I don't want my work to be ruined easily.

Any ideas on what types of paints to use on my shoes and what I can do to protect the artwork afterwards?

Do you use a flash? What kind? If you use a tripod and slow shutter speed, it would blur the subject. How do you get good lighting indoors without a harsh flash?

Red is for Love
Pink is for Grace, Joy, and Thankfulness
Yellow is for Friendship..
White is for innocence and secrecy
Coral is for Desire

So when you buy a rose, do you buy it for the smell, and look.. Or do you buy it for the meaning.
