When I called myself a christian, I made my own gallery of pictures. Thought I might share them, as there maybe some bits in there someone would appreciate...

Wow, 17th, some of those are really beautiful. Did you make these yourself?

about 90% of them are made by me... Some are ones I have edited.. and one of them is simply just a picture off "the Passion of the christ." The picture of jesus.

Thank you for your compliments.

It kinda tells me that you had a passion once yourself.

Heh, perhaps I did, but it seemed to burn out.

I did notice that toward the last few pages that there was a shift toward something else. Do you still create this kind of art?

I like to make art in many forms, Modern, abstract, dark and even light. Yes I still do it.

As a child it was all I had. Pen and paper. The first thing I do when I start to become bored is to draw... It starts as a pointless small 'doodle' and ends up as a large piece of art. Kills time.....

I can appreciate that. If you have a gift, then use it. I wish I could draw.

Do you have any recent works displayed anywhere?

Mostly on friends cars as airbrushed designs... lol. I haven't any here on my work computer however sorry..

You could seriously do something professionally with your talent...I mean besides airbrushing.

Heh... I wouldn't know where to start.. My main aim at the moment is writing :P I would loooooooove to be a full-time author.

There are a few works on that gallery that some american church asked if they could print on T-shirts for their "sunday school"? Because the kids loved the image... They were happy to pay me lol but I haven't the heart or feel like I deserve to be paid for making images.... So I don't think I'd get far haha.

Dondi · 11-06-2006, 05:17 PM

Why wouldn't you feel like you deserve payment? They are your artwork, afterall.

I do not feel I have worked "hard enough" for payment.. Say my novels.. I would expect some small payment sum for them as alot more work has gone into that... Pictures/paintings/whatever are just me cutting off and allowing my mind to scribble down whatever.

I'd say get what you can get. I would love to produce a best-seller and reap the benefits of my work, however trivial it may seem. Look at people like J.K Rowlings, just an English teacher who had an idea for a story and wrote in her spare time in a cafe in between her daughter's naps. Now look at her, she's a billionaire. Remarkable.
