Hi Gerbear, thanks so much for all your wonderful comments on my pics. I appreciate & value your opinion so much. With all you have to do & how busy your camp keeps you, it means all that much more! LU....

I noticed that after I made my comment, doh, should have deleted it and started over, sorry.

Animekid wrote (5 days ago)

Well ok but i warned them they will be reported if they didnt delete it but here is the link http://sketchfu.com/profile/TinkBriana

Animekid wrote (5 days ago)

Ok i didnt argue with the person that copied my art this time. i gave them 2 warnings. But they did not respond in any manner. so i will report to you. and TinkBriana not only copied my drawing but named it "I drew this dude" and put their signature on it and it got 2 cheers.
so may you ban him/her? P.S. i was told i am mature do you think so?

Hi and thanks for your kind comments on a couple of my recent drawings. Also appreciate you moderating and clearing up problems so promptly. As an aside on the drawing of Farrah -- She's originally from Corpus Christi. My ex-husband went to high school with her. Corpus turns out some beautiful people...Farrah, Eva Longoria, Lou Diamond Phillips and the late singer Selena. Must be the water!!

I learned about it a few minutes after it was confirmed during my piano lesson. My teacher’s husband came downstairs and let us know in his heavy Russian accent, “Michael Jackson is dead”. Loooong silence. Reality always hits hardest the ones who seem so immortal.

güz75 wrote (6 days ago)

Thanks for your comments and the answer. Actually İ don't use mousekey or any other tool for those straight lines. That's why it takes about five hours or much to complete the drawings. İ think İ'm a little bit patient. İ'm glad that you like my drawings.

Cooperweb wrote (6 days ago)

Not sure how I came to it. Started with that cool Voldemort draw on here and made me think about "the scottish play" curse. But actually Macbeth is only bad luck to say when you're in a theater, especially a working actor in the theater. My improv troupe and play co-horts, we would say it all the time in the theater. lol. Actors, like atheletes can be so superstitious at times.

Luthien wrote (6 days ago)

My mom is the same age as he was...so she also remembers a lot about him. :) When I was little, all I listened to was the 'oldies' station, and his kid songs were often on there. Some of my favorites, actually.

Take a good rest, Gerbear. ^_^ Our hard-working mods deserve all the rest they can get. Don't rush, Michael isn't going anywhere. However inappropriate and depressing that sounds, I think I can say it with a little smile on my face. Why is it always the last person on earth that you'd ever suspect that goes? It never fails.

Mewmew wrote (7 days ago)

Thanks so much for all your lovely cheers and comments Gerbear! It boosts my confidence to be praised by an art teacher!! lol :D

Hi Gerry & many thanks for visiting my gallery yesterday and all your cheers and interesting comments! How is camp going? It definitely sounds like you don't have time to moderate - I think that should be a paid job anyway! Like you, my spouse and I are working way too hard and way WAY too long hours - but when we're done with the grueling days and nights, we've brought a player piano back to life (even if it may require fine-tuning further along) --- and when you're done with the basics you've no doubt nurtured your glorious love of art in the hearts of some of the "little people"! As Kbofu said, just seeing your work makes one want to draw!!!

Tanglepelt wrote (8 days ago)

thanks for the comment! Im gonna go to ut. I strongly (maybe obsessively) follow their football and their basketball. They werent too hot in basketball :( are you a strong supporter of them?

Hey Ger, I'm telling you I'd never seen anything quite like it...."weather" amazes me....Love the show "storm chasers" Would love to do that, but I'd probably be scared to death. I just wanted to sto my car & get some good pictures....I always have my camera with me. I did get a couple of the rainbow, but my camera isn't "strong" enough & didn't capture the acual beauty of it....

Hi and thanks much. Hope camp is going well. I think I learned my lesson on maudlin clowns in a community draw, lol. My communal "dark" clown brought it to a screechng halt. ahaa. In my head I had pictured this draw a bit differently, I might have to try again at some time. My first paid acting job was at WGN in Chicago and by chance got to meet both Bozo (Bob Bell( and Cookie (Roy Brown) I have to say Roy Brown has always been my favorite. He designed and did puppetry on several WGN shows (including Cuddely Dudley( as well as Cookie and was glad to hear he also made the Clown Hall of Fame. But much like musicians with Les Paul and Muddy Waters, all successful clown owe so much to Emmett Kelly.

StGeorgeOfEngland wrote (25 days ago)

Hello Ger, I fully intend finishing the drawing because it has been in my mind for a long time now. It is from a photograph that has special meaning to me because it is one of the first places I visited with my lady love a couple of years ago. I was listening to music a few weeks ago and the track, Dove Grey Sand rekindled the memory. I will post a link to the song too when it is complete.
I set myself a challenge because it is the most optimistic thing I will have drawn. Usually I knock out a sketch in little time before boredom stes in but with this one I feel it may take a while. I need to discipline myself to make the best I can of it and finish it, if only for the meaning behind it.
A season at art camp would help me along a treat. Hehe.

BabsBlueEyes wrote (26 days ago)

My dear friend. You overwhelm ne with your word. You are the one who first made me welcome here. I drew a sad rose, and did not return for about a month. In that time, you friended me and made me feel like I could belong here. As time went on you offered tips and I followed. Your presence on SF has most definetly had a strong influence on what it is today, community wise. Your praise and support make wannabie artists like myself, feel like "Yes I will try"! I have done that. I have learned so much here. I love all it is about...still hoping for more drawing appelets. LOL
Your support through my "Good, Bad, and the Ugly" has meant everything to me. Meno, Fuzzy, Christine, and many others, have shown me gteat support and love. Thanks for all you have taught me. I hope to be able to apply the information and add to it. YOU ARE A GREAT ART TEACHER. Lucky me to be one of your students. I am thrilled to be here with the creative and inspiring folks Bless you always Gerry. I am so happy to call you my friend. L~Babs

What an eye, Geri, you're right about my wolves....It was a print on a tee shirt from my Southwest Indian Foundation catalog....there are so many things in that catalog I'd love to draw. Some are so involved that I feel I wouldn't do them justice! But every once in a while I give it a shot. I'd also like to give a BIG TY to you for all your time spent C&C'ing on not only my but everyones draws....you are an amazing lady. I love you for caring so much. Like I said to Meno, I'd love for you to live closer, I know we'd be great buddies. We still are but a shorter distance would be nice! LU, Ger....

Japanese beach isn't good.
The most beautiful beach in Japan is OKINAWA.(maybe)
I have never been to there.
But I often heard "OKINAWA is wonderful place in Japan!".
I have a reason why I don't go there.
Because I dislike hot weather(T-T)
So I can recommend HOKKAIDO.
Do you know there?

Thanks for your note on my profile. If I'm correct, you want me to tell some child he shouldn't be copieng stuff like I made with the lady with the low neck line.
But I have to say my English is good enough to understand most of the things being said, but I'm not qiet sure I got everything right you wrote.
If you want me to delete this drawing: no problem at all, if it's too offensive for some.
Please, let me know.

SillyGram wrote (about 1 month ago)

K, I sent in a request. Since it's Sunday I won't expect an answer until tomorrow. So, now I guess I should just go to my 2 MySpace and 1 FaceBook accounts and put your link on them. Every little bit helps to get you on page ONE, where you belong.. I am sure you know about the little bots that crawl all over web pages, so with just the three accounts I have it should put you up a bit higher than you are now. Not instantly, but in a few weeks anyway. Wish my brain had been working several weeks ago.. *sigh... Any who...Have fun tomorrow!!

so you forgive me? i love sketchfu and id hate to be banned from it. thanks for understanding. i actually got the idea from rogier. i thought it was funny, but it was still innapropriate. personally i think that boobs are nasty, because i dont rate women on their bodies, i do it on personalities. so thanks for letting me off the hook.

goofygoob wrote (about 1 month ago)

im sorry. PLEASE dont ban me, i promise i deleted it. i swear. ill never draw another thing like it again. i SWEAR! i just thought id draw it to be funny. i was gonna delete it anyway. but then i had to go to the store so it took me a while to see all of my messages. PLEASE DONT BAN ME!!!!!! and PLEASE DONT TELL MENOPAWS!!!!! she expects more of me and i do too. im sorry!

While resting my 'tennis' elbow from too much 'mousing' around,,, I had a thought. I subscribe to our city's listserve for the arts, and would like to send them your link with a little blurb. If you don't mind. They are a very serious knowledge base for our area, and have strict rules for posting. You're right up their alley so to speak. Who knows, maybe someone has relatives by you or friends, and are looking for the kind of camp you have??? Waddya think?

Sometimes it can be so annoying when people don't ignore this kind of things.
You're probably right. There must be something like.. "cooperation" between users and mods. It's not only the moderator's work to prevent such situations. :)

thank you! I kinda feel better now :]
I draw with my mouse too but I'm planing to buy a tablet. It's so awsome to be an art teacher. If I was from USA I'd sure come to your class.
Also thanks for the warm welcoming! I'm a little new (I've been here since last month) and I already saw how friendly users are. I only had one bad experince but I've contacted HQ and solved it :D you and the other moderators are the best!

Yes, I have noticed how much faster things "load" here now.....what a difference!! I think I will try doing some draws here again. I haven't drawn anything here for such a long time....I kinda forgot how to draw here...."LOL"!! I'm so used to the drawing applets at 2Draw....and I like the "blend and smudge" tools in chibi paint.....I hope I'll be able to remember how to draw a "pic" here. I'll have to to "practice" first....before I "post" anything...."lol"! I see that people have been doing some really nice draws here. I recognize a few people.....but there sure are a lot of new people here. Where is "Starzshine" drawing at?? I haven't seen her in ages.....and whatever happened to "Ferdi"? I hope all of the "oldies" come back!! "LOL". You've really been doing some nice artwork here....all of your artwork is great. Anyhow....thanks for "updating" me on all that's been happening here.....I'm definitely gonna keep "checking" back here.....and hopefully one of these days, I'll be able to "post" a draw here. Take care!!! "Hugs"!! :)

thanks... and I thought you were in my friends list already, I was looking through my friends list to reply to you, and i thought i was missing something, i looked 3 times and no gerbear (!?). well you're on there now.

and you're in houston, we are practically neighbors. i have a brother that lives there, actually clear lake, but it's a fun city to visit.

oh and i love your relish, good subject perspective on the relish, lol.

Hi "Gerbear"! It's great to see you drawing again.....I haven't been here to "sketchfu" in quite awhile.....it's great to come back and see some nice changes that have been happening here. I've been drawing pretty much at 2Draw.....but I'll be stopping back here more often now, to see how things are going. It's nice that sketchfu is really "fast" now.....that "slow" lag was really a pain! I'll be looking forward to seeing "lots" of draws from you.....I love your artwork!!! :)

I am on early and late. Mostly on and off all day long. Oh...I commend you for your Art Camp. That is something that I always dreamed of doing. I taught an art class for students 4-8th grade in my other life. But it was just for the summer. It was a blast. Native American Art. I love your work too by the way. Check out that myoats place. You will like it.

I'm glad you decided to tell the one who defaced Luthien's draw to delete; I had done that and then she showed up and made a comment after me, so I decided to ask her opinion before following through. But I'm glad you stood firm, Gerry, because it's not right, especially with such a magnificent draw. Usually I don't hesitate ... and I won't again ;)

Thanks, Gerbear. I realize that warning people about stealing is very important to the community, it's morale and manners, but personally, I couldn't care less about who scribbles on my work. I guess over the past couple years I just got worn soft around the edges...especially since this isn't a matter that involves any sort of payment other than my satisfaction of learning taken out of a couple hours of practice (a rare occurrence, unfortunately).

So...while I really appreciate what you do, don't feel pressured to immediately do anything about the defaced drawings just because they're by me. :) I think it's awesome that you're a mod - a lot of people need you, and you do your job well. Thanks again.

That said, I've missed seeing the odd over-dramatic turd wandering about Sketchfu! ;D Just kidding.

thank you so much gerry, I really appreciate your comment to me. It is always really good to hear that IÂ´m not alone in my struggle, that there are people that understand what IÂ´m going through.
I have felt that FU has in fact helped me these past few months. It is always good to get good review on things your doing and I am actually less afraid now to show my art to others since I joined FU. I even feel more confident about it and that does a great deal of good when one is feeling down.
thank you for letting me know your out there, it gives me great comfort. I have been struggling with depression for few years now, it has gone up and down, but lately IÂ´ve been feeling better, but still I have bad days, even weeks. Its getting further between the rough parts, but then ItÂ´s more frustrating when the bad parts arrive. The one has to feel the frustration from oneÂ´s loved ones too, thatÂ´s even harder.
anyway, thank you again and I will have you in my mind when I have to remind me again that IÂ´m not alone.

Okay, I'm glad he wasn't lost in the crowd. Guess FU isn't old enough to get inside. Which means thats a pretty old cricket in there ..or more likely a figment. Lol. I have always been terrible at drawing cars. While most kids drew race cars and rockets, I was drawing dinosaurs ripping people to shreds and anything but cars. I had to go back after your comment to zoom up to see what I did on the hood ornament and I realize that my only mental reference to them is from Wild Ones. It appears I was attempting to do a winged angel. And thank you for noticing ... of course the rest of the hood looks like its a 55 DeSoto or something. lol.

Hehe. now I remember why I stay up so late! Thank you as always. And yes I meant to fix that jukebox. Thought I had clearly made buttons K and 4 pressed in and had micro-pixel printed the song listing on the jukebox list. But decided instead to title the drawing what was playing on the juke. lol. Btw, it's funny because I think maybe no one noticed, since I seemly drew the window early in the draw, but very late in the draw I went back and added a familiar guy in the window. Guess there is too much to look at that little things can become hidden. Fun stuff. (else he was noticed but not mentioned in comments)

Hi again, your comments on everyone's work are so funny and brilliant - just to let you know - SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!!!:) I never told you what happened to my other work, btw - it's still here under the name "jp." If you are still mod, maybe you could help me, when things slow down a bit for you, to move a 4 or 5 of them over. But if it's a pain, forget it. I keep forgetting to sign things - not that there aren't a lot of things I wouldn't care to sign - Joyce ps) I did see on FG forum a long while back that Grace was complaining that some things just "disappeared" and that now everyone thought she was just withholding them. For what it is worth. Thanks to scares at yd, I had saved most of my work and thanks to Meno's great idea to take her work off before things went further had followed her example and really have everything. I sure feel nervous about showing how it were in the 60's - an era for which I am still paying with my health... but I feel so vulnerable. But maybe that will help with my work.

Hello Gerri. I am feeling better. I do not mind you asking. I have a rare condition called Erythema Nodosmn. Mine is the chronic kind. LUCKY ME!!! I was diagnosed in 1972. I wrote a blog about my experiences with it on bebo. I will copy and paste to my profile here, if it will fit. Better yet, I will put a link to my bebo profile. I was diagnoised in 1972, by a biopsy, of a nodule. It is very painful and I had an awfully bad time for two days. Some vacation time huh?!?!?! Never able to predict when it will put me down. I have limited mobility. No long walks in the park. My walking this time, of difficulty, was shuffle and moan. I was in a stupor pretty much. I take benadryl and sleep. All I can do. My husband is such a blessing. He takes care of me totally. He has seen me go through a lot with it. I will get the link and put it on your page. L~Babs

I'm sort of surprised somebody recognized 'ol Stewart. He's one of my favorite people; half of my education came from reading old issues of Whole Earth Catalog, Whole Earth Review, and CoEvolution Quarterly. The stuff he's doing nowadays also really interests me. I guess you could say he's a huge influence on me and kind of a hero.
I don't know if old WECs are worth anything. They were pretty common at one time. They're so great to browse through, though!

Yeah, I was raised by hippies. Kinda. In some senses of the word. :D

Cooperweb wrote (about 1 month ago)

Happy Holiday to you too. No hurry for a response but had a few quick questions up front. Assuming there is a small light on the pad, does it stay on when it freezes or dies? Have you tried other USB ports? (if your regular mouse is USB have you tried swapping the ports to see if the mouse starts acting up and pad doesn't. The pad, given that you had it a while is probably USB 1.1 compliant, do you know if it is plugged into a 1.1 or 2.0 USB port? Have you taken the tip off to see if the pen nub sticks? It is such a small amount of adjustment but maybe when it continues drawing you can see if it pushes in or if it gets stuck in. Since it's random I doubt the control panel settings could be off and I'm sure you have looked at them.

Cooperweb wrote (about 1 month ago)

Well I have been pretty pleased with my results here. Having not been on other draw sites with exception to artpad.com a few times which is about as basic as it gets. And have wondered why they don't partner with someone for that Cafe Press experience. And lol, I hope I don't get unofficially wrangled into a FU Mod union boss.
About your Wacom, did you mention that it sometimes does work? Since the pen does not use batteries, perhaps it is a driver issue, a usb issue or a usb driver issue? If you haven't had it checked out and feel like explaining the problem, I could possibly offer a short list of things to try. IT is one of my main forte's.

Hi Gerry, Looking up a little I think, thanks for asking! I agree with Mr. Cooper on the issue of pay for fu Mods, btw. The system has been really slow for me the last few days - it takes a serious commitment and a LOT of patience just to cheer a drawing, and even more so to make a comment. Hard on both of my computers (Mac). You perceive correctly about the fun I had - really need to just relax sometimes when drawing but who can explain why one feels one should post something - or not! Yes, I used to do the paper collages all the time (no tearing, just a scissors) - what a mess, lol!:) When does camp begin?

Cooperweb wrote (about 1 month ago)

Heh, love the minimalist response. Yes, I figured if people are going to get notified and find a drawing deleted that it should at least have an amusing title. I've used the Devo lyrics "crack that WIP" recently as well. Feel free to comment up Nicks card. I think that would be part of the fun of him discovering it. And his class went to paris last month already. Uncle Keith edited his trip video project. :) He really likes SketchFu and is negotiating the terms of joining. He is quite talented in self taught piano and is fearless of what pieces he chooses to learn. He is probably harboring some major artistic skills as well. On a side note, I have added digital drawings to my website art page which reads like a billboard for Sketchfu. Lol. Now I'll just sit back and wait for that royalty check ... and wait ... and wait ...

oh, i took some art classes in high school and college, but it's been a while, lol. that's what i like about the way this place lets you watch drawings, you can watch a drawing happen and pick up tricks, techniques and learn new things, which to me is what art is all about, sharing the human experience. as for moonset and jellyfish, i had a fantastic dream one time about jellyfish flying in moonlight, i did that one based partly on the dream, partly on an image of the moon that i found on google images, and from various jellyfish images that i had found. i plan on doing some more on the same theme, maybe i'll do one on canvas one of these days, i'm so glad you liked it.

Hi Geri, I read your messages to Tony & didn't realize he or Scottie never commented on any of your work. I don't find that to be very fair either. But when Tony complained about "them" I'm not positive he was including you in the collective "them". I think Tony had issues with some people & when he made his complaints known, he indicated that "they" knew who "they" were. And I know you're not meaning to drag me in....and I don't feel that you are. I hope Tony takes what you said to heart & realizes he wasn't being very cordial...I don't want bad feeling between you guys....especially since you go way back to YouDraw...Hope thing get rectified...Love ya, Ger & if you are reading this Tony, I hope you & Geri can clear the air & make a new start....

Lol. No I think you found your calling just fine. And you truly fit the FU Welcome Wagon. Yes I am familiar although it seemed a suburban thing, at least in cinema and we were never suburbanite kinda people. Of course now the Welcome Wagon has been replaced by the drive-by "Whacha doin' in mah hood' Lady. But I think if you're going to embrace the WW role, it should definately be a paid position (Listening Matt?) LOL. Anyway, it is nice how you share your art knowledge and perk up everyone's pages and profiles. You are quite the support icon here. Re: Timing .. I had been using lines and dots and recently I have faded parts thinking opacity covers take longer to reproduce. I was not sure if same color doodling even picks up as actual content or if it is ignored thus no time lapse so been trying to change things. But what I need to figure out is the when and how long part. My stories work well some of the time then I misjudge and a few parts zip by or hang there. Its a mix between timing using actual updates and timing using behind the scene doodling. i.e. At end of the tutorial piece when I worked on the shading I had no need to trick the timing, in fact it took too long and I could have broken it up with a few laughs. I have edited film for years so it is nearly the same process of judging the length of time vs. the content to be read or watched. Once I figure out how long the different methods offer me I should be able to produce a story that flows with comedic timing as well. And you know what the secret of comed"TIMING". lol. And you said YOU write long comments. :)

Good morning Hunni-Kin...we are enjoying a spring morning to write home about. Beautiful!!!! I hit the floor running. DillonMan needed to work on spelling sentences. Trash pickup so gathering from bins through out the house. Dishwasher to load. You know a woman's work is never done. Until nap time!!!! LOL Dillon has finally started taking interest in his room. So now he is making requests which means more to do. It is a good thing though since he and his mom will share his room until the apt. for them is complete. Which will be awhile!!! I just want to play this summer and enjoy. After school start, we can get down to business. Don't know what her thinking will be. She is a very hard worker and may have different plans. A male friend of hers has been emailing me more often since he knows she is on her way home. He lives in New York, A retired police officer. He has been in love with her for years. He wants us to come up for a week at a beach vacation spot, he has reserved. He has a 13 yr old son. He would want K and D to move there. OMG I want him to stay far away!!!! Can you imagine D going kicking and screaming. ChattingMan has been threating to punch him out. Dillon has been such a part of his life. All of us. I haven't answered his email. Hope he gets the hint. :D Well Chatty Babs today. L

Hi Gerri, I'm doing well in some ways and not so well in others. I'll get to the bad parts later in this note, but as for family and work and all things related, not to shabby..:)) I've had a few promotions through work that despite our current economic crisis has kept us afloat but on that same token of thought, it's also a precarious position that can go away without a moments notice. So many people are losing there jobs, homes, entire lively hoods are being destroyed that I have personally witnessed it happen to friends and family alike. I'm not to sure what caused me to go into this topic but i guess it's something thats been weighting on my mind as of late and maybe I'm just venting... Ok., now for a far more cheerful topic - I really like the website you have for summer camp - informative, simple and definately warm and friendly.., I can only hope that you will do well in this new endeavor and be able to share your knowledge and outstanding insights with your students. I really beleive it's going to be very satisfying and successful for you.:)) Anyways, I did say I would mention the bad stuff later in this note; As of late i've been battling with anemia. Not to worry - I'm on my meds but it's a bit tricky consideirng I seem to be losing blood from somewhere and non of the doctors that I've seen as of late have not identified the problem. A complete battery of tests have conducted over a period of a few months with no positive results, but I am hopeful that with a little more research, perhaps on my own, a solution can be found.. Sorry for this note being really scattered.. LOL .., it's 0624 on the east coast still haven't had any coffee yet ...:))) But I'll definately check in to sketchfu from time to time to check on my Sketchfu buddies and drop a few doodles in... It's great this website is actually moving pretty quick these days ... :)))

Thanks for the comment on my flower. I just wanted to draw something. I hate when the thumnail looks so Blah!!! No, I didn't play with a wooly willy but I was about to do one. I am trying to catch up from my very light participation on SF. I had to lay low, because I didn't have time to answer all the lovely comments, my friends leave. I guess I should have left a message explainng my absence. Dillon's mother is our youngest child. Her name is KaSandra, I drew her and not well. LOL I may be able to do better with your instructions. I need time, right now it is scarce. I get along with my daughter beautifully. She was my best friend. She is funny, energetic, loving and quite a charmer. It should be great. Of course challenges as well. L~B

Had a friend in yesterday She came at 9 and stayed till after five, helping with cleaning. Sunday my daughter was here. Dillon's Mom is coming home. It is a crazy time here. My failure to acknowledge the last instructional draw, has nothing to do with my lack of appreciation. Just over sight. Please FORGIVE ME!!!
Much love my friend! Hugs and Kisses.

Lol. Thanks a million. I had hoped you would like it as I piggybacked it on your informative one. Yes I remember Wooley Willy. I was once in line at the airport with some actor friends and there was a guy in the next line behind me who was completely bald but had a thick black beard and moustache. All I said to my friends was, Do you remember that magnetic game where you use the magnet stick to pull iron filings over a face? They immediately looked over my shoulder and got it. Lol.

Well, the character on the left is the Sketchfu member Edward_Elric411, who asked me to draw her with the anime series 'FullMetal Alchemist' character, Alphonse Elric. ^_^; So you see, she used Alphonse's brother's name as her screen name. Confusing, huh? Either way, it would still have been hard to recognize him - Al only shows up in his human for in the movie at the very end of the series! The rest of the time he's just a hollow suit of ancient armor. Bummer!

And, unfortunately, I'll be drawing another rather obsolete character for a request: Ashio of the series 'Jungle Hare nochi Guu'. I'm sorry, this is really awkward...

I don't subscribe to the idea that people should learn to express themselves and they'll find the means themselves. Too many get discouraged because they don't know where they're going wrong. I think they should be taught the rules first. It's a good job I'm not an art teacher, I'd start them off with Ruskin's Laws of FÃ©sole - make them spend a day practicing drawing straight lines. Have you read Ruskin's books? You have to love a teacher who starts off with something like, "To avoid confusion, I will call the brush the pencil; the pencil, I will call the lead; when I speak of the crayon, I will be refering to chalk. That's the way to teach. Kids though, should be allowed to get on with it, have fun, and make a mess.

Hi Gerry, 'The Rules' are the dominant news item over here. The Daily Telegraph got hold of MPs' expenses and allowances claims for the last few years and has been publishing them over the last week or so. All claim to have acted within the rules, apart from the odd 'honest' mistake or 'innocent' error, such as forgetting they'd paid off their mortage a couple of years ago. Take a look at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8039273.stm for a flavour of what's going on. People are furious and want to send the Generals into Parliament. That was what was on my mind when I made the rules comment.

First, Thanks so much for the kind words about my progress, and hard work. I DO LOVE THE WHOLE PROCESS. I also want to really learn. You said in the beginning,
person can learn a lot on SF by watching others. I have found that to be absolutly true. It is so amusing to me when newbies say, "I am so jealous of your abilities"
I tell them "you can do it to"! I have gone through a lot of time, energy and trys to get where I am. I am NO WHERE close to being what I want to be!!! A whiteboard artist told me "never look at your work and call things in it "a mistake" Just say "next time I will do this or that"! or, not a mistake "it was a try that did not work" !!! I tell my children that. To your tips. The eyes, I know but I keep repeating the same thing. The skull and thinking about the back of the head. I will need to wrap my head around that. I see in my mind, as I write, an image, hope I can put it to work. The hair, wow..total awesomeness. Also you are so right! Your tips I would go on and not know figure those out. I appreciate with all my heart, the time and effort you give to help me. You are such a kind, caring and giving person. I am blessed to have you as a friend. SF community has helped me through many tough times. I love so many here. The list is growing. It is a place to help and be helped. Thanks Gerry for all you are. L2U and Hugs~Babs

She just never goes there anymore. I have not seen a post from her for many months. That is why I can tolerate it now. She and i had a terrible bout and yes, she would not let it go either. She thought I was out to get her, always accusing me of things, watched my posts at FG. The only thing I can figure out is that they took away her moderator position and she lost interest and left. Really do not know why tho. It is more pleasant there, at least for me, than it was with her there. Yes, some folks are not as kind, but I can overlook them. But lately, I have lost the urge to draw soo much there, maybe fu is getting back into my blood....LOL

I've been looking for a job (any job, right now) and was lucky enough to get hired at a craft store yesterday. It's only part time, but it seems like it will be fun and I love being around artsy/crafty people :)
So "how are you" is a good question... right now I am, nervous, excited, worried, adventurous, thrilled, worried (oh i said that)...it's all new to me and i'm liking it :) Plus I've lost 40lbs!! (and counting) So things are...um... great?! LOL

Congrats on your new adventure! I love your around the world theme! Your camp sounds like a very fun place to go. I wanna be a camper there!!!

Keep up the great work and i'll keep checking in (and hopefully drawing). Best of luck and hugs and positive energy going your way!

Its funny because I never had any urge to travel out of the US, I felt we had everything right here. I took my son to show him there was more to life then work and just living day to day, I wanted him to see there was life beyond our banks, we were both taken in by it. My mother was supposed to go to England when I was 17, things fell apart so now my goal is to get her there before she can't remember she's even been away. This July I am going alone as my step dad's health is not good and she needs to stay with him, I'm hoping next year she will be able to join me, she would love it.

I've walked the streets of London so many times I now know the streets as well as my hometown, lol. I really love the country and hope to make many more trips, I've promised each of my kids a trip and two have chosen England their senior year of high school, I have one son left to take. I hope you get there someday, its an amazing place and there is so much to take in, the history and the architecture are WOW....and the people are so friendly.

Gerry I know for a fact that you could get a goverment loan that you would never have to pay back. They look for people in the field of helping kids first and formost. The first thing you would have to do is make your self a corporation, or non-profit. You could get a big fat boost for what you are trying to put together. If you want more info please e-mail me at lola_5@comcast.net. xox

Awwww he would entertain you. He lives a mile away, from my house. He still come in and says "Mom, what are you fixing me for breakfast"? or "What do you have to eat? / What's for Dinner"? Love him to bits. But he wants me to sit on the porch and talk to him every day all day. I would surely miss him if he didn't come around. Calls me numerous times a day, when he isn't here in person. I am a blessed woman, I know. Just banter with meno about my Mancamp and of course she reciporcates with her humor. TY on his looks. He is a sweet man. HE WILL BE 36 IN AUGUST!!! Woman have always been all over him. Sigh! Not good for him. :(

Saw your comment to L8. It's easy to get intimidated doing landscapes once viewing what she can do with them. At least for me it is. I am goung to make an effort to do one in near future perhaps. Anyway I once was going from Dover to Belgium on a ferry and when we left everyone clammered to the deck so my friend and I went to see what was going on. they were all taking pictures and I was saying "Isn't that interesting the cliffs are very white in ..." Then it dawned on me where I was. lol. Duh.

BabsBlueEyes wrote (about 1 month ago)

Gerry, I think given time you will be so over run with students, you will have to expand or set a limit. Once the parents know you and see what you can do for the students they will be beating at your door. An excellent reputation is the finest way. I know that will be yours. The qualities we all enjoy here will certainly draw the children and parents. They tell others, You are a shoo in. Hope your funds can carry you for a while. It will be fabulous I just know. The charity functions can only help. Net working is of tremendous value, as you know. Glad you have had such satisfing experiences in doing them. You hang tight, it WILL be a great success. Hugs.

BabsBlueEyes wrote (about 1 month ago)

Hi Gerry, You are working hard here at FU. You have such a wonderful personality and positiveness about you. It sets a tone for SF and is contagious. You were the formost one in the beginning, who made me feel I could learn and draw. I listened and tryed to appy all you suggested. I am very grateful to you for that. You are a lovely one of a kind. Don't change a thing about yourself. You are very respected and loved here. Thanks for your continued support for my art efforts. L2U Babs

I'm so glad we're back in touch & will write as soon as I can. Btw, as a certified Art Instructor, you've probably noticed that I'm making a (belated) attempt to learn perspective.

hey, thankyou for the comment explaining the situation. its true, i wasnt happy when i saw what the person did to my draw, its so disrespectful! but you are right that is is probably better that they scribbled over it so no one would look anyway rather than how others just steal drawings. i dont think thats right. i do like the way you can draw on others pictures as long as you do it respectfully.. im glad that you guys are thinking of ways to stop people stealing draws, its definitely not fair on the artists who drew them in the first place.. i have now added on my profile that i would like people to ask first before drawing on my pictures.. although im not expecting many to take notice.. thankyou for the huge compliment, im glad you think so! i think this site is becoming on of my favourites to draw on, its very friendly and there are some wonderful drawings on here

Hi Gerry. Another thank you for the cheers and hope you checked out the Queen's Plate link. And now after the KY Derby, seems we not only get in trouble for things we don't do up here...but for things we do!
" But in little more than two minutes on Saturday, Mine That Bird went from Canadian Champion to the King of Kentucky after unleashing an epic Derby shocker." (media hype) ;-P
Apparently he is a decendant of the famous horse, Northern Dancer (do you know that name?)

The Q.P. is on Father's Day this year and going to be so packed that I hope if we do go, it'll be fun anyhow. There are no seats in the restaurant so we'll be in the regular seats.

Yes, it's true! I am starting my first lesson on the 19th of this month. I'm excited about it. Mu husband teahces tennis & I've become cclose friends with one of his students, Suzanne, who happens to teach painting. She was taught by Donna Dewberry. In any case, it is a "painting" class, not a drawing class. She made that clear! But she said I'll learn different techniques, using different brushes, etc....I guess I'll learn more about what I'll be doing once I start....But I'll keep you posted.

Hey Ger, Pomeranians are awesome little pups...we've had 2, one we acquired from someone ( long sad story) and had him 3 or 4 yrs & he was hit by a car....we were devastated. My husband bought me another one for our anniversary one year & we had him for several yrs. & he was stolen from our yard....Both dogs were not "yappy". They are so lovable & their temperment is very sweet. Very smart little things. If I ever got another dog, that would be my pick....but I think we're finished with pets....too hard to lose them.

I noticed a big shift in the site, thanks to Matt and Andrew, but the onlt thing now is that I can't replay drawings till the end. even my drawing, and even that last one I cant see it, but anyway as long as you folk see it then I'm relieved :] Thanks again Gerry, hope everything is good with you...

Hey, Gerbear.

I have thought occasionally that a "fave" section would be nice, yeah. I am also loathe to suggest things that complicate the site, though. *There is a power in simplicity* that it is very easy for websites to lose (disease is called "featuritis"). I'm not sure. I think it would help in a few of the cases that trouble you, but probably not all of them... I dunno. The mindset of somebody who draws very little, or erases a little, and then saves the drawing (without otherwise adding to it) is different enough from my own that it's hard for me to guess what they would do. I think some of them do it to "bookmark", though. One way to add bookmarks without too much complication is just to have a list of drawings one has cheered; after all, that information is stored somewhere already.

Also, you were pretty clear to me that you didn't mind remixing. We had a pretty good conversation about that (you even mentioned your Judy Chicago collab: in case I never told you, yes, I know who she is, admire her work, and I think it's cool that you worked with her.) You made a case that, for you, it's more complex than simple opposition to remixing, which I can appreciate.

There's nothing wrong with page view ego. I can understand that, I have it myself. I've thought about systems for managing that without infringing on important freedoms, but this is turning into a huge essay-comment already. Email me (in my profile) if you really want convoluted thoughts on that.

now I need to get off the internet and go do stuff :)

I did get to talk to Andrew, but it was mostly about information for advertising. Can't make the site bigger and better if you can't pay for it, so I guess that's awesome too. :D He gave me no hints whatsoever...but I didn't ask either. *laughs* I'm positive he'll call you!

Such a kind thing to say. I think the kindest people in the world are right here on sketchfu. It has been tough but we are slowly moving on. I have been doing some things to the house to stay busy and change the atmosphere a bit. Put in Hardwood floors that he and I had been talking about. Changing my living room completely. Gonna put in a set of french doors to the new add-on to our house that has been "in the works" for almost 10 years!! I'm gonna have that finished and just make the house a bit diff so that it helps us move on. Hard after 27 years, but we really don't have any choices. but we're doing ok, pretty much. Thank you so much for your concern. Things are what makes it easier to get by...knowing so many people care. Thanks again. :)

Hiya Geri :)

Good to hear you liked my anims! It was lots of fun to make them too. Using Adobe Flash CS3; my uni got a licence for the CS3 package in november so I just gave it a shot, and loving it loads! Still have a lot to learn about animation.. giving weight to a char, lighting, timing.. lots and lots :) But that's part of the fun really, isn't it?

Oh btw, not sure if I've put a link for this one here, but this was my first Flash anim: http://jeroen.dendekker.com/Flash/yellow_snow_2009.swf

The anim took me so long I didn't get to send it till newyear's eve (was supposed to be a christmas card).

If you're really interested in animating in Flash, this link is great: www.keyframer.com. Especially the breeze presentations are wonderful. There's also a really nice forum attached with very helpful (and talented) people.

Give it a shot if you get the chance, it's so much fun :)

Fizzylicious wrote (2 months ago)

Heya Geri. Just saw your comment on my froggie; was just a doodle to see if I still knew my way around the sketchfu tools :)
I have tried to come back here from time to time but 75% of the time (maybe more) I couldn't even get to the site at all, I thought Matt and Andrew had pulled the plug, to be honest. When I did manage to log on the lag was so bad I could barely look at any pics, let alone draw. But fortunately they seem to have improved things greatly; It'll actually be fun to draw here again! :)
Only thing I have to get used to is that drawings that you delete are automatically gone entirely.. so no deleting WIPs because you don't want anyone to see them yet. If that's what it takes to have Sketchfu up and running smoothly, I'm happy to adjust though :)

Take care, ttyl.

Hey, Gerbear,

People come and people go, eh? I was worried you would never be back. Online communities are really quite fragile: delicate nets, and easily torn. This one has become important to me beyond expectation. The link between people is much more important than the drawings themselves, which after all I could do on my own without the internet.

All of this is a roundabout way of saying "Good to see you, you are not lost on the digital wind that often sweeps people away." You have the friendship of me and many here. I tend to be reserved online (can be both good and ill) but: My name is Stefan and it is good to see you and I hope you draw more. :)

It was horrible and very annoying to say the least, but the cast came off last week and the knee is better and may not need surgery. Time will tell, but PT seems to be working.

If you start a site. Such a success it would be I believe. I don't know how you could do your art though, and run all the features you envision. Maybe you could start simple and add as time and circumstances permitted. I will talk with you msn. You are a dear soul and an example to us all. Much love to you always. Thanks for being you. I hope you can cheer up soon. Grieve your lose and then move on to other wonderful pursuits. You felt it was time for changes. As we know life is forever changing. Embrace them and carry the lovely memories of the things you have done. They are after all, a sum total of the lovely person you are today. Your tomorrows are awaiting your footprints. Move forward and start leaving them, dear friend. You are well loved by so many. May our friendship grow with respect, warmth, and love. Hugs and much love. Barbara

Yep, thanks, this is my drawing for my icon, it was supposed to be of Barbara Feldon from "Get Smart." I never published anything outside of Studio One except for many entries in a studio called "Who Am I" which I just adored. Think that studio was the idea of the brilliant (and beloved) Emigre's. Meanwhile, feel I've gone "one step forward and two steps back" and all this has been just so depressing but I guess this is the time to persist?

Hi Darlin'
Robin emailed that you had been asking about me, thank you so much for thinking of me - it's nice to be remembered.
I have been popping in every now and again but life has been difficult from September through December. I am feeling much better recently but can't remember when I last drew anything. Last time I went to FG I was shocked to find Grace was talking about closing the site - I've no idea what happened but she seemed very upset.
I'm using a Macbook now and haven't sorted the pen and tablet so may not be drawing for a while. I suppose I could try with the track pad . . . hmmmm
Much love
Christina

Thanks for the cheers & comments. Wow it's an honor then to hear your input. It will only help me.
I used to draw when I was younger, it's been like fifteen years since. As i stumbled upon this site I was marveled by how this site replayed draws. I was sucked in to draw again and with learning the tablet tools I'm developing slowly, calmly, patiently...
So any help is a plus. :) Thanks

Hi Gerry - The other account is a thing of the past. & I think it might be quicker w/o all the deleted drawings, which are many! I was thinking that maybe all these Circuit Cities going out of business might have Wacoms cheap - or what about ebay? I got a new pen for mine from the Wacom site, without having to buy the tablet...Good to see you! -sure hope you can get another drawing tablet soon! - J

MissA_sketches wrote (5 months ago)

Hey teach!

Well now, you warned us about what FG might become. You were right. I have all of a sudden been dumped from their studio portion of the site without warning stating that I didn't draw there enough. In fact, that's true enough, I have been doing most of my drawing offline these days. I would've thought that those that called me a friend at any given point would've treated me as such. So, I too am left a little bitter and doubtful I will ever go back.

I am thankful I went there though. I did have a good experience in the beginning and had some fun learning and sharing.

They do have some great applets. I'll miss those, but, thankfully, I still have contact with those I would still call friends. The list may be shorter than I thought, but, in every garden you have to do a little weeding now and then huh?.....lol.

Extra hugs for my mentor.....and friend! Bless you!

Thanks so much for your support in my art efforts. Your input has been a big part of why I started working so hard. The lovely friends here and then at FG have been wonerful. I grew a lot at FG. All the friends remarked about it. They were all awesome to me. It was a loving, warm, community of friends. It wasn't what G envisioned her site it to be. Now it will be by invitation only me membership. Later

Sorry I didn't get around to it soon enough to add you. I'm all for it, don't get me wrong. As for my profile saying It's OK too to disagree but keep in mind it is written in scripture: I am the Lord thy God ,
who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt (Mizrahim), out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt not have any other gods besides me
Thou shalt not make for thyself any graven image
(carved idol) or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, punishing the iniquities of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those that hate me; but showing mercy to thousands of generations of those that love me, and keep my commandments.

Hi Geri, Thanks for the C and C's. I feel like a lost puppy looking for a good home. I am doing all my drawing here at the moment. I am a bit at odds with how to proceed. I see there are a lot of FUers at 2draw. Seems like a nice place.But,can't bring myself to draw there. I have done quite a few draws at Queeky. I liked the close intimate community of FG, as well as the tools. Of course I perfered the FU of old. Alas, they both are no longer available to me.

I just stop by here once in awhile, to see what's new....and I'm also trying to "fix up" all of my draws here. I recently got a new computer, and it has a 32 bit resolution....and I did all of my draws here with my old computer with a 16 bit resolution.....and now, with my new computer, all of my draws here look drab and faded out. So....little by little...I'm trying to "touch up" all of my draws...."LOL"!! I hope you had a very Happy New Year.....and I'm glad you're back, and hope to see more of your artwork!! :)

Hi babygirl! thanks for the new years greeting Geri, lol, where have you been hiding? I sent you a couple of e-mails and never heard anything back! I am pouting...lol, jk, btw my daughter in Dallas just got married this past fall! yeah to a texas boy, and now I will never get her back home, though she did come in for new years with her hubby, we love him, he is just the sweetest man. We also got news the day she left that she is pregnant! Oh yes, she took a home pregnancy test before she left for the airport, lol, she kept saying she thought she was pregars, lol, because she felt horrible, she is only 5wks, but it is her first and she is the last of the kiddies to give me a grand child. lol. I hope you are doing fine! I stopped by to do a draw, every once in a while I get the urge to see what everyone is up to. I hope you still have my email address, would love to tell you more. I see it was your b-day, happy, happy, unbirthday...I know you are getting younger no? sending hugs-terry

Heya Geri.. I just popped in to say hi and see if anyone was still around. Last couple of times I've tried FU was simply too laggy to do much :( Seems to have improved a bit (or I'm just lucky right now). Too bad, I really enjoyed the community here. Anyway, I wanted to wish you a happy 2009 and I hope you'll make many more lovely drawings :)

Take care!
Fizzy

Hey my sweet friend. thank you for your heartfelt words about Lucas. I'm sorry for what you had to go through to finally get your wonderful son. I know how much he means to you. Cherish him & everyday you have to share with him. True; Lucas wasn't here for very long but he he made good use of his time by melting right into our hearts. And there he will stay. No one can take that away. We will all get through & eventually remember him without sadness & just bask in the joy that we had him, held him & loved him. Just say a prayer for his Mom & Dad who are having the hardest time right now. They are supportive of each other & I'm grateful for that. Bless you, Gerry & I'll be in touch again soon. Love, ~Sue

Last I heard, Gillie (Laura) and her son were going to start working on the "transfer of power" over at FG starting today; I think KuteDymples and a couple of others are involved also. It was getting to be such a confusing and dramatic situation, that I'm taking a break from it for awhile! Right now, plain ol' FU is looking pretty good. LATE said her browser is Mozilla and she doesn't have the lag and tech problems the rest of us seem to have. Maybe we ought to check into that. Anyway ... when I joined FU it only had a little over 5,000 members ... now look at it! Over 30,000. FU is overwhelmed!
