This very pleasant surprise was in my inbox this morning!
My simple stock was transformed into an awesome animation!



A sample of his gallery:
He is quite gifted in transforming his and others artwork, into beautiful animations!
Please visit...plus also visit some of the deviants, whose artwork was transformed!





Thank you very much, my friend! I

it!







Worth1000 is a new and soon to be popular group!
Whenever other deviants ask me for help or for a tutorial of some kind, I always point them in the direction of Worth1000, because it is where I learned a large percentage of my photo-manipulation skills, plus it is one of the best places to begin the adventure of digital art. It offers a great incentive to learn and gain technical skills while having a lot of fun in the process. I recommend it for newbies and advanced artists, alike.
I am 'paperdreamers' at Worth1000, but not nearly as active as I used to be, because dA tends to rob me of all my on line time.

If you decide to view my works on the site, you'll find some of my very first manips.

... I did manage to gain some progress though, because I kept on trying!
But this is not about me, so...
Please read their journal

on Deviantart.
Note: part of the Worth1000 icon doesn't show, but you can still click on the 'ooo's.



A big thank you to all who graciously take the time to read my journal, comment on my work and continue to add them to their favorites. I appreciate you and your support!




Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularityit should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

I thank you all!




If You Ever...



What Is Art?
It has many definitions, but of course everyone has their own interpretation and concept of it. It can uplift us with warm and pleasant feelings, or evoke sadness as we contemplate the significance of what each author was trying to communicate in its creation. It is a talented gift of expression that many can do exceedingly well; a practiced skill that can be praised or envied.
Anything and almost everything in the universe can be considered an art form, from nature, to architecture, music, poetry, or to the perfection and placement of gourmet food on a plate, just to name a few.
Furthermore, art does not only consist in the material world, but also in our creative thoughts, beliefs, and visions as dreamers and philosophers. And of course we all know that art is in the eye of the beholder, but it is also whatever satisfies or stirs something in our soul.
