1. Sorry

Too superior to do so.

On Edit: change artist spelling of 'Too'

[Longgrain]

2. Most of us artists are unfortunately

too lazy to do so.

[shance]

3. What's the topic?

What's it like to be a superior artist?

;-)

4. Why can't I be smart too?

I had a 4.0 in college.

I guess I'm just all around perfect

[Longgrain]

6. I had a 4.0 several times when I was in college...

Then i realized it was an art school and many of the academic classes were intentionally dumbed down...

[name not needed]

5. ok!

7. Twenty-eight Parrot. (watercolor)

Amazing watercolor work...Very textural...:thumbsup:

17. For texture, I'm better with warts

and slime. (I draw frogs.) However, sparing you the warts, here's a hairy bunny drawn from the Durer "young hare".

Great, great work!

14. Thanks.

I think I don't like the chalky look. I did a seagull in pastels. Would have been nice, except it was chalk. :)

I have one watercolor that looks like oil. I like that better. I needed to choose something for here that actually fit.

18. Wow! A watercolor that looks like oil!?!

That must be cool!

I'm impressed!

8. What do you want now?

Oh and 4.0 was easy in college....stoned, drunk and half asleep...

10. I should start an "inferior artists" thread for this one...

...but here's a song I wrote, performed and recorded a few years ago:

12. Hi Everyone (including Longgrain)

Here is a recent collage

and a recent poster I did for a typography class


:hi: :hug:

[Longgrain]

13. OMG those are great

I especially like the fireworks one...I thought you wowed me to the limits with some of your other stuff but these are awesome...

Of course I've never done any sort of typography or graphic design, just good ol' fashion paint on canvas, so what do I know.

[Lerkfish]

15. well, I'm a professional, but think the word "superior" is odd...

I would never call myself that, not sure why the thread is titled that way.
also not sure why being an artist is mutually exclusive to being smart?

even further not sure what the point of the thread is?

[Longgrain]

16. Unfortunately this was a copycat thread

the original was something like "Superior Intellects check in here"

Unfortunately the original is now gone...

On edit, I just changed the title and removed all references to intelligence from the original message...

[Lerkfish]

20. oh, sorry, I missed the original thread...

which made this one seem odd.

now I get it. :)

[ralps]

19. Kick

:kick:

[Richard Steele]

21. Well, since intelligence is no longer required....

Here are a few photos of one of my little projects; a 5th anniversary present for my sweetie:







Sterling silver and black sapphire.

22. Some of my digital art...

One political, one non political.
