keyword: acrylic -- is this true?

man i have been trying to make a portfolio online for years. i have a graveyard full of versions that ive abandoned. this one youve picked is pretty good but im not sure about the preloader they use which seems oddly executed? your paintings look good against the darker colors, though.

Yes, I do use acrylics. Because using water mediums is hot now, or at least that is what someone told me like three years ago. Maybe it has lost it's hottness since then, but I am trapped now.

I was trained in oil like most people though. But because my paintings are essentially a layer of plastic it will last FOREVER!

preloader? You mean the way you upload images. Yeah I guess it's sort of weird. Did you see it when I had white behind the images? I changed it to black/gray because my sister told me to.

rad. who knew?

oh, preloader.. i mean uh, the little circular thing that spins whether or not it needs to, when you go to the next or previous image. kinda subtle but i notice because the preloader device in itself is an imp thats destroyed several fantasy web layouts ive tried to create using Flash.

yeah. the white as a background i can see on this comment page, but i have the feeling that an environmental darkness is the better stage from which to show your paintings. not unlike having a candle burning during the day vs. a candle burning during the night. its more evocative. it lets the only lightness in a given space be from the highlights in your images (they glow). a darkened gallery space which was lit only with a singular light on each painting would be a creepy-excellent solo show. well, that is, of course if these scans are relatively accurate reproductions.

Julianna told me to look at your paintings. I finally did and they are quite breath-taking. Would you mind if I added your journal?
