Thread Name: BS: So who here's a visual artist?
Subject: RE: BS: So who here's a visual artist?
Well, okay, I've talked about havin' two degrees but my 2nd one was in "Painting and Printmaking" from Virginia Commonwelth University's art school...

While I do some painting (acylic and water colors, no more oil thank you...) pen and ink is my main medium... But visual artists are just that so medium is, ahhhhhhh, not the whole ball of wax...

I have just completed a rather large metal sculpture from some large industrial (an heavy) pieces of metal that came outta a tree processing machine that eats trees an turns 'um into firewood and mulch... These innards werer scavenged a couple years ago from the Hazel Mulch Co. in Chantilly, Va. and have just been waitin' for the right time and place... I made drawings and then a mock-up model before settin' the base piece in a 4 foor deep hole with a couple tons of concrete to hold it... But it turned out just the way I drew it up an', if I don't say so myself, it looks great!!!
