QUOTE FROM ME

If someone says that you are lazy, tell them, "Lazy is spelled with e z."

MCRO INTRODUCTION

I have deep desires in showing my artwork to other people. It is interesting to find out what people think about my artwork. Of course, the comments would be more meaningful if I truly think the person isn't saying something just to be congenial. It would be nice to finally earn some money doing something I immensely enjoy.

This artwork is titled "My Spokesperson."  I used Adobe Illustrator.  That object to the right of the person is an elephant's trunk and a tusk.  I was disgusted when I recently found out the elephants held captive in zoos are not properly cared for in regards to their particular needs to keep their mental and physical well-being up to par.

This painting of me was done in Panyu,China.  I visited there to see my father's side of the the family in 2007.  It took the guy about 10 - 15 minutes to comppletely finished.  He obviously did a terrific job.   Panyu is in Guangdong province, which is right next to Hong Kong.
Why The Potato Eaters by Vincent Van Gogh is my favorite painting?

When I googled Van Gogh to browse for a painting, The Potato Eaters stood out because of its grand drawing of both inanimate and animate objects.  The humans' faces are detailed including showing expressions.  There is a sense of depth provided by painting a visual coming from a lantern.  I quickly made the decision to choose this to fulfill an assignment for an Art class.

Throughout Van Gogh's short life, he perpetually lived in urban destitution.  So, he ended up paint portraits of poor people, just like I think I would.  At least in this artwork, Van Gogh rendering a positive feeling among the people living in poverty as oppose to showing prejudice views about poor people.  A light right in the middle brings ray of hope for these people in dire situations.
