I saw on ebay where someone is selling keychains made out of clear acrylic.....and there is a real insect encased in the acrylic.....there were spiders and scorpions, beetles, etc.

Ya I've seen those too, firecracker! They've gotten pretty popular! Also the kind that have a lazer drawn image inside...I have several that were gifts from various people. It all started with a key chain I bought that had a lazer drawing of Christ on the cross.
Thanks, y'all! c:

kinda cool

This is PRETTY. :) lmao at the last few comments

Thanks DBA. Glad to see you're still around.

picture: dang-o-licious.
comments: dang.

the one i drew a moose on with a sharpie... its still showing through the lime green paint i painted over it.

Oh that wall. Of course. :)

I am honestly holding my side... oww that hurts. I had forgotten partly why I love this place so much...I love to laugh. Now I'm SURE I miss being here. This pic reminds me of hubble images...which I always find fascinating. Gonna be a sweet bike, too, I bet'cha.

Meowr, loving the fur.

Those eyes are gorgeous!

Meow :)

OK...somebody ate too many olives, I knew this would happen!

HAHAHAHA..lol, staci

lmao....mmmm I love olives. (but not the black ones, eww)

What a beautiful drawing! Wow!

HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS PLEASE ANSWER MWEEEEEEE

Well it took Almost 2 days total and it took 96 versions to get it here. Also, I see you have said the same thing on several pieces of art and if you don't mind me informing you people have replied to your previous questions, and I don't know if you've seen them.

I've been meaning to comment on this since I saw it some time after you first posted it, didn't do it just then and since have been too lazy to go looking for it when I was here, which isn't often anymore. Just now as it came up in the Showcase thumbnail strip I realized if I didn't do it now, I might never. You know I've always hated you because I'm so jealous of your talent, and loved you because you're so very real, which is rare. (and because you always inspired me to strive to do better)
This, I believe, is one of your best paintings, because as a self-portrait I see in that expression the Staci I think I've come to know and love/hate here. ;) Along with being absolutely perfect realism, you've done the impossible "capture the expression" thing... something that almost NEVER happens in a portrait. There's depth in those eyes, something fascinating behind them. Some people see that in the Mona Lisa and say that's why it's so upheld. (One major difference there is that I think she's ugly and you're beautiful, so... ONEUP on that one for sure... hah)

I've looked at this a lot of times and been blown away every time. I just now realized what I like about it most, the way you slightly exaggerated the things a camera does when the shot is a little overexposed and the flash is causing it. How the light shows the details in the skin in a way normal vision would never pick up on. And the corona of color around the iris. And the way the hues of the skin tones are uniformly off. It's a great painting of a 'bad' photograph. That and the killer cupid's bow mouth.

yes! you totally get it. this is a HORRIBLE picture, horrible. Bags, blotchy skin and all. if I had a zit that day I would have drawn it in as well. thanks!

looks like an airplane in trouble

this is what it looked like out back early this morning

Looks like something the Hubble took a photo of.... I like it.

despite that the subject is a nude-beast, of sorts, it is a remarkable painting and shows your ability albeit accomplished in 9 hours

Tell Bob it's time to draw, don't you think? Merry Christmas.

He's resting on his laurels. And as far as they go, they're fine ones. Personally, though, I hope he starts finding those laurels kind of itchy and uncomfortable soon.
