I'did really like to know wether it's true or not

I want to get a tattoo, and I want it to be unique, but I'm not an artist...Lol.
So I was wondering if there was any way that someone could draw me a tattoo design and send it to me via e-mail.
If there is, this is what I want [I'm getting one on each wrist.]:
On my left wrist I want the chinese symbol of strength, and I want it in between angel wings.
On my right wrist I want the chinese symbol of Courage, and I want cherry blossoms around it.

It would be awesome if someone could draw it for me. If not, I can try to find someone else to do it...Or attempt it myself...Haha. :]

i'm look for more complex ideas, NOT the really cheesy pop up card ideas (ie, the overdone "duck opening its beak" gag, etc). Something that emphasizes "things are not as they seem", as in the underlying theme in Macbeth? Maybe like this :http://www.library.unt.edu/rarebooks/exhibits/popup2/tuck.htm
but more complex? and please no book suggestions, i'm keeping that a last resort, as i really don't want to spend that much money on a high scool project. thanks :)

They're dated '67, '69 and '75. There are some soldiers in there (US and S. Vietnamese) but they look like they're taken by a tourist. About 1/3 are of flowers. There's parks and shows in Saigon and Thailand, as well as a Bhuddist temple w/gold statues, and bombed out buildings where the VC had been holed up.

Is anybody missing these, and if not then who would be most interested in archiving them?

I found them at a thrift store in Ocala, Florida.

What reasons do artists give as to WHY they create what they do - especially 'conceptual' art?

I love art with a passion,for I have hopes to draw a comic or just things for books, but lately it seems like I have lost the will to draw. So I like ya'll to help me. Should I keep on trucking with drawing or give it up and find something new to do.

My DC4800 camera is 6 years old, but still works well. But the photos show tiny white, red, and blue dots. Just tiny speckles, not flares. I tried higher resolution and 100 ISO, but didn't reduce dots much. I did clean my lenses, but no avail. I hate cleaning all spots out. Any helpful hints will be appreciated! Thanks!

I ordered a Sony Cyber-shot 8.1MP DSC-HP and it should be coming within the next few days! :) I know it's not the most professional, but it really is quite amazing for only being 8.1MP and for it's price. I tested it at the store and completely fell in love! (but, heck, after having a 5mp Kodak, anything beats that!)

Anyway! Haha. I was reading about this camera and I felt so naive about what I was reading. Here are the things I had trouble understanding, if you know what any of the following is/means, please tell me. :)

- Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens
- ISO
(ex, ISO 3200, High-sensitivity ISO)

Oh! And it comes with one Lithium-ion NP-BG1 battery.

I'm planning on buying a second battery anyway, but a battery like that..how long would it last in one session before it dies? Thanks!


I'm so excited for my camera!

Can someone help me with these 10? I'll choose you as best answer. True or false:

1. Usual placement for mainlight is at a 45 degree angle: T OR F
2. Correct position for mainlight is on the left: T OR F
3. Normal position for camera places lense on subject's nose: T OR F
4. The traingular patch of light made should extend from the eye down:
5. The shadow under the nose should travel diagonal
6. Fill light show cast it's own shadows:
7. Main-to-fill ratio of 3:1 OR 4:1 is right for portraitures
8. When she has light blonde hair you should use a dark backdrop for seperation:
9. Hairlight should be aimed at the top of the head
10. Accent light is usually a small spot

I want to make a life size version of a movie character (human male) for myself and my friends amusement, sillyness, jokes, etc. I've looked around online but can only find patterns for small dolls. I don't want him to be paper mache or like a statue, but somewhat soft and posable. Just to be clear I'm not doing this for anything dirty (which is another prob i ran into looking around online). Any help, advice, tips, patterns would be extremely helpful.

When im indoors in a very well lit room with my camera in aperture priority mode and the flash on, the aperture is at 4.0 and the shutter speed between 15/20. Is this normal? Should the shutter speed be so low? How can i ever take an action shot under these conditions? Then when i do snap the pic, the shutter stays open so long that i try to find a way to get it to close just out of aggravation. Same thing outside only opposite. When i raise my ap to something high for a landscape pic, the speed is so low again that it will nver take.
