well it seems like every artist finds a nitch to fill.. something they are good at .. or at least enjoys enough to keep doing it!...for me that nitch was found in the dirty, stinky, greasy, smelly, dusty, and rewarding field of bone carvings!! ill be honest.. i didn't wake up and say that i wanted to start carving bones!!! in fact it was a few deviants who inspired me to start!! including! MaX-DooM and GhostSender




the piece that really got me started was this

this piece is probably one of the most beautiful bone carvings i have seen! the curves and complex shape seem to flow into one! its this piece that got me started down the path. after finding out what it took and what to do.. well i started .. ill have to admit.. i could really do with out cleaning the bone.. but its part of the experience.. no matter how disgusting and time consuming! while i do live every one of my carvings i realize they are crude and still need work!! but since i have only just started and there arent any books or other people to tell me or show me how to do this stuff.. i think im doing pretty good!! however i want to eventually work my way up to making pieces like the one that inspired me every time!! i guess it just takes practice!!

i want to get into painting.. but its kinda $$$

Recently I have gotten into portrait photography but models seem to be scarce! i have found one non-family member model so far but im really wanting to expand my work! Although most of the ideas i have are non-nude portraits i would like to recreate 2 nudes!
the first is Nude in Chiaroscuro [link]
this nude is so much more tasteful and artistic than most of the nudes ive seen on here. when i first saw it i thought it was a painting
the other nude id like to recreate is chastity

this nude was painted by a friend on here and when i saw it i was amazed at the emotion in the painting and the pose it self. I would however change a few things about each one to somewhat make it my own work while recreating it at the same time but also to give it a little more for the camera! photography and paintings are different so im sure that the finished work would look the same! i am also currently looking to the world of sculpture for inspiration in my photographs!

its been a while since I've been into photography. i used to be into it when there was no such thing as digital. however with the cost of film and developing it i couldn't take and develop alot of pictures then. now i have a digital SLR a Nikon D60 and i absolutely love it! i also have paint shop pro 2x which i use to edit my pics. I'm really glad i picked this hobby back up because it has really helped me through some rough times!
