Artist's Comments
"Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not
let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms,
The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens,
As they are; and the desires may imagine
All sorts of vain things." Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)
Preface to Jane Eyre; 1847

Unoriginal, I know. But I realized that to better my abilities as an artist, I need to try and take shots that I haven't done before, even if they are "cliche."
Edit: The darker spot on the side of the neck may look odd and I'm sorry, but that's my birthmark. I used to get teased as a kid as it was darker and looked like a huge hickey. Anyway, I didn't bother editing it out of the image.

Now it's time for August 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover!
Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it! Fave Fave Fave!

Artists need to be supported. So don't be shy!
Here's the Menu per Category :
Digital Paintings & Drawings | Mixed Media | PhotoManipulations | 3-Dimensional | Vector & Vexels | Photography | Traditional Paintings & Drawings | Artisan Crafts

With a gallery that takes you on a journey into another world, `spyroteknik has firmly secured a place as one of the top artists within our community. Always willing to participate in events as well as providing critique and guidance to members in such a humble yet inspiring manner is a quality which deserves recognition.
