Visual Arts - November 2007

Alright me and my friends were bored and went out exploring an old junkyard, on the way we saw a old church that looked to have been burned up or rained on, and abandoned. We went in cause we were bored and I saw a canvas painting. It has wasp nest that I picked off and a bit of rain damage and dirt. Is there anyway to clean it and make it look slightly better. I want to donate it to church.

I am looking at buying a graphic tablet to mainly use for drawing and sketching - does anyone know what is the best one to have for a reasonable price?
Also, i notice that they are different sizes, does this mean that i cant draw anything bigger than the size of the tablet? thanks!

I would like to know how photographers take photos with their camera and have the photos turn out in a form that resembles a painting. When I take pictures with my XTi the photos look normal with all the bright colors. However I see photographers claim they do NO editing and the pictures have crazy colors that almost look like it was a painting not a photo. Look at this link for example:

http://www.modelmayhem.com/pics.php?id=369250

Now tell me how pictures can look dark and painting like with out editing! And if it is editing why would someone lie and what software is needed?

If like me you like to see the work of other photographers check out the link - the "Day in Pictures" is updated every work day and there are some great shots from all over the globe. It's also a little glimpse of whats going on beyond my own little world.

I have a Nikon D50. I need a flash that can be rotated to bounce off walls, etc. I want a bracket so I can shoot horizontal and vertical. What would you recommend? I found the following:

would this be worth the money? I know I can't shoot vertically but...

I would like to print mty own tee shirts - I live in an area where this would be an excellent small business to get into. All I am wondering about is I know there are (basically) two easy ways to print onto shirts (, etc)

Method 1: Printing Machines (usually costing between 500 and 1000 dollars)

Method 2: Printing designs from your PC/Printer and ironing on.

Could anyone tell me if Method 2 is durable and lasting? Or, overall which method is best for decent shirts??

Thanks!!

I am a 20 year old lad, and I used to be pretty good at drawing. Did it till I was about 14-15 then I stopped, and have not picked up the pencil since. People used to say I was talented- I was really good at drawing cartoons and copiying, but i didn't believe in myself since I knew people who were much better than me at art. Another reason why I stopped was because I didn't see any worth in it, didn't see how I would make any money or make a good living out of it.
Now I am doing a business course at Uni, and it isn't what I thought it would be..
Perhaps I did make a mistake, and should have explored my talent a bit further...Is there anything I can do about it? too late?
What could I get into if I do decide to do something? any advice would be welcome.
