Experimenting With Alternative Ideas?

I agree LC, great choice of font and size. The inner artist represented by the clouds with the small font is stunning. I am really liking fonts, there is so much you can do with them to change an image or think up an image using a phrase.

Do you belong to any groups at Deviant or just comment on others work? Downloading a great piece such as above might be a good way to market on facebook or a blog, and get people looking at your gallery by downloading although I am not really very active with it or my blog lately.

I saw some of your other paintings they are beautiful, do you use just one brush mainly or several? I'm just getting into sketching and painting, your technique looks like the paint is almost layered, like you put down a base coat. Sorry to hear about your illness, happy for you that you can now paint.

Hi Suzanne, I've always been a big fan of fonts. It's kind of hard to go to a design school and not come out loving them. This is Lato, one of my favorite fonts right now. I owned a web design company in Silicon Valley in the 90's so design was a big part of my life at one point.

I belong to several groups, and have a lot of work on the deviantart. It's a good place to talk with other digital artists. I'm mainly in abstract groups, and some natural, or nature groups. I love nature, skies, and cloud. It's why I mostly do nonrepresentational work. I have a marketing background so I am on all the social sites with a pretty good presence but I really don't like taking the time to update them. I use hootsuit which makes it easier but I still neglect it. I wish I enjoyed it more, but I don't think that will ever change. I like making things, not telling people about it...hah

I don't talk much about my process, and tools because I am always developing them. Some are proprietary, and custom plugins and scripts that I've made myself. I make my own brushes which is a lot of work. My brushes are very large 2500px minimum because I like to work very large. Most of my work is a lot of layering of the brushes but they don't work like Photoshop brushes. There are several images in one brush, sometimes as many as 25 different images in one brush. So think of 25x2500px brush and you begin to see a problem with painting in real time like that. I've developed a low resolution solution preview that then renders in full scale after I am done. I've even created some experimental stuff that just blows my mind. What is possible with digital imagery and computer science is pretty much endless. You can experiment all day, and create tools to do all kinds of interesting stuff. Then mix and match them to make even more interesting things. Combining that with my traditional background I get lost a lot in the creations of my tools, systems, and process that I end up not focusing on my art like I should be.

I like.
Who doesn't love Inspirational quotes. Good thinking, love your skies.

Stunning work! Love your skies also!

I think it's a great idea.
