I haven't tried sculpture ... I hadn't even considered it. Hmmm, worth some thought I think...

Hmmm...
 
1) according to different sources, Brazil shall become (at last), a fully developed country in 2012 (others say 2015, others 2020... Confused). Well, I hope to be alive until there to see my father's dream realized. Smile
 
2) I expect that CD prices remain cheap when 1) occurs. Big%20smile

That's nice, Dean! And surely nicer than most of the prog cd covers of the minor bands, unfortunately (so often, good music wrapped in tasteless "artistic" dilettantism).

BTW did you know that E-Dub is in the graphic design business and ArtGuyKen is a professional cover artist?

^ no, I didn't know that, though it shouldn't suprise me that some members here do make a living in that way.
 
I've dabbled in CD artwork at a purely amateur level, mainly photographic and digital art as I don't think my painting skills are up to it (http://members.aol.com/DarqDean/ofcdart.html), but I would have prefered to work on vinyl covers - the little 120mm CD booklets are so restrictive,

1) struggling author who barely makes enough money to live, but some how manages to buy a thousand prog CDs daily.
2) Be a hugely successful author whom everyone loves and buys thousands of CDs daily.

1) To someday figure out what I want to be when I grow up, I'm 40 something and still have no idea. 
2) Health, for myself and those I love.

For me, life is about the simple, not the extraordinary.  I need not money, travel, excitement, or extravagance.  Only a walk in the morning and a song in the evening.

Not yet, but I have read most of his books, and the other version of the story. I have also written a few articles about Tolkien's work, published in English-language books.

I think it is for most folks, Shakes.  I'm out of step with people on many things.  I'm not sure how it happened but as you can imagine it can be lonely.  But we do share an aspiration for writing.  I love to write. 

And I too like your avatar.  Smile  Cheers!
