Who else would go wading out into Lime Creek in the middle of the night but Tim? Just makes me shudder.<br /><br />I think maybe I should get the priest in and check my wacom for Poltergeists..... There's a church down the road. Maybe it's time I took a wander down there and knocked on the door. <br /><br />It's a nice night tonight. There's a bit of moonlight poking through the clouds and casting interesting shadows across the road. <br /><br />No traffic though, which is strange. <br />In fact, not a soul around.<br /><br />:)Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-35425135411586333772010-02-19T05:56:20.251-08:002010-02-19T05:56:20.251-08:00Brilliant image, what a compelling story.

Maybe those lights coming down from the sky have something to do with the story? :) :)<br /><br />Daniel, in answer to your question I made this a while ago.<br /><br />http://artistadvice.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I'm in the process of typing up a longwinded ezine interview which deals with some questions, so I'll post it up when it get's published,<br /><br />In the meantime - digital is a dead untactile medium - and for an artist who is as good as yourself in traditional media I think it would be a shame to start on the digital path.<br /><br />Mind you' it's the way of the future?Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-6429745845772641312010-02-14T18:06:42.192-08:002010-02-14T18:06:42.192-08:00Incredible textures and colors.
