Yeah – I need to find the time to make some actual art instead of just pushing pixels. When I do I’ll post it. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I have a few more sketches based on pics from your site – I’ll get them up soon. I don’t want to flood the market though

Thanks for visiting.

Anthony, I think you should break the paints out I know you could make some beautiful art. I dig whats been done here, thank you.

I wish that I had the ability to teach art – that seems like it would be a rewarding job.

As far as making art on the iPod touch, it has gotten me to do some work after years of inactivity (no mess and no clean-up, perfect for a small house). I’m hoping to bust out the paint or printmaking stuff soon. I’ve gotten some encouragement from comments here and elsewhere – so who knows…
Thanks

Nice, for my day job I teach art. I’ve not made the jump to drawing on my iPhone, but it looks like fun. Like you I tie to break away from the rat race.

Tight lines.

Tying flies is like bringing a little order into a chaotic world; fighting against the insistent urge of entropy. And then when they get lined up in a fly box, row upon row…well it’s a beautiful thing.

I stink at tying flies (at least picture-worthy flies), so I always like it when those who do tie have a shot of all those little buggers lined up in neat rows. Nice job.
