Pointing the Finger at Myself
Creating Changes Rules
Self Portrait - digital art - finger painting - Dan Beck November 2007
I have not been writing much - rather formulating some next moves - next art - next music projects. Too much of the blogging time, we write just to write - to bring attention to our work or simply share into cyberspace.
Whether I am able or not - my hope from here is to write when it is right - when I have something new to share.
My previous self-portrait done earlier this year was done the way I do most of my work - from my head with some tweaking from visual inspection (when available).
This self portrait - also an exercise - of how well can I paint with my fingers? utilized the camera of my new laptop.
I don’t really like the idea of painting from a photo - seems a step removed to me - but I couldn’t resist the technology. And although it is a perfectly acceptable practice in digital art to paint and alter a photograph - that is not the tact I took here - just used it as a model.
