An art teacher of mine years ago told me that the best way to find inspiration for a project you’re stuck on is to take a long walk, or just spend the afternoon doing something other than the art. -debbie

Yes, the ToonIt effect really brings out the colour in the picture of the monk walking. It also seems to frame every detail to the point where everything in the picture becomes an interesting character.
Debbie is right, it’s a pleasure to watch the seemingly mezmarised eyes of the monkey, which you don’t get from the original.
Good catch Love!

Comment on Obama’s poster uses stolen photo by anarchyjim

I guess part of my issue with this has to do with intention. Most painters and artists use reference materials. I don’t really have an issue with that. Nor am I claiming that Mr. Fairey added nothing to the process. He certainly did. However, he refused to even acknowledge the photograph or that he had referenced anything… as if it was inconsequential. Comparing the photograph and the painting indicates the photograph played a huge role. By Fairey’s lack of graciousness in not acknowledging that he used a reference, I consider it theft. His intention was to lead you to believe that the painting was strictly ‘his vision’. Clearly this was not so. Mash-ups and other ‘inspired art’ is fine and is still art, but don’t dis the artists that created the work you’re using in your mash-up. Respect the art and artists that you’re using and give them due credit.

Marcia, that’s a great solution. It’s funny that you mention this tip, because over the weekend I was considering buying an oversized paper calendar, hanging it on my office wall, and using that calendar purely to track tasks. Now I really will do that. Thanks!

I am a mother, freelancer, full time student, and full time employee, so I know the importance of managing time. (Hence the 1 a.m. post!) How do I keep myself on track? I don’t know that I’m actually on track, but I’m definitely trying! I just bought a whiteboard and I wrote down the days of the week horizontally across the board. Under each day, I write down what is due and what is happening. That way I can look at the entire week and attempt to plan accordingly.
