notagain said...: I concur.
Also I don't know why, but I really like the tape accents - they add to the composition.; June 9, 2011 5:19 AM
MTCoalhopper said...: For someone who seemed so burned out on this bloggery thing, it looks like you've worked your way through to the other side. The change in media -- from typecasting to scrapbooking -- has reinvigorated your blog. Congratulations, and many thanks from those of us who struggle with inadequate self-confidence.; June 9, 2011 5:42 AM

Joe V said...: "Bovine Scatalogy" is a good substitute, but I wholeheartedly endorse the sentiment. Great post.; June 9, 2011 10:46 AM
Rob Bowker said...: We all know this stuff but hey, thanks for reminding us Cheryl.; June 9, 2011 11:37 AM
Strikethru said...: Thanks guys, yes I wrote this actually to remind myself, count me into the low confidence crowd. Also, it was an excuse to use masking tape in a post. :-)

I am definitely an artistic cowar.; June 9, 2011 12:01 PM
Dominique Barrera said...: As a new reader, I am impressed not only with your creativity, but also with your scanner! What kind do you use? The colors and imagery come out so clear.; June 9, 2011 12:17 PM
Strikethru said...: Thanks Dominique, it's actually kind of old, its an Epson Perfection 610. I just use the scanner software that comes with it, and sometimes use adobe photoshop elements to resize scans and such. I don't usually boost colors or anything like that. Someone should do a post on scanning techniques....; June 9, 2011 12:20 PM
Mike Speegle said...: *Snort* The flowers on the BS card cracked me up. Crass it may be, but the best descriptor as well.

Good stuff, Strike. I think we'd all be a little bit better at our art if only we had the confidence to admit to our artistry.

I, for one, am perfectly willing to accept the moniker of artist. Now, if only I could don the label of paid artist, I'd be set.; June 9, 2011 12:26 PM

PamelaArtsinSF said...: Good to remember this! You got it right.; June 9, 2011 1:41 PM
Jae Leslie said...: Thank you. I needed to see that today.; June 9, 2011 7:14 PM
Art said...: You know, about being a paid artist... when you sell your first piece, it's a really strange experience. I much prefer trade.; June 13, 2011 6:05 AM
snohomishwriter said...: Thanks for the pep-talk-picture-cast. (Pepcast?); June 15, 2011 8:03 AM

Wait, how did you know I was reading Marshall McLuhan...; June 26, 2011 8:51 PM
