Not really an answer to your specific request but I find Default Folder X to be an indispensable asset in my work flow. It's a fairly powerful app with the capability to setup folders, defaults and paths to your liking. I'm always saving finished fi…
Some great insight to how you achieved the look - thanks for sharing. I really need to spend some time with the other functions/tools within SA but I am so focused on hand painting that I never go there. Plus I have an aversion to using tools that d…
I like - very much! This and VBS are some of the nicest kaleido work I've seen done in SA. Usually the output of the particular warps are too busy and confusing (at least what I've tried is). Nice and simple with an organic feel reminiscent of micro…
That's way cool - looks like sumi-e brushwork! Maybe you can adapt your plotter with a turret to hold multiple "tools" - felt tip, ink, brush, etc. Neat stuff. BTW I have a friend with a plotter that's available but I'm afraid that getting it to GB…
Almost forgot to add this link to a robotic _crawling_ plotter. Now this would be the way to go - I can see an installation of several crawlers driven by SA in gallery show mode crawling around the floor (Marmoleum would be a great substrate) with l…
You should be able to find a plotter for next to nothing. Most of my business associates (primarily architects) have given away plotters to get rid of them. I think the real issue will be appropriate drivers for your hardware platform though Microsp…
Great discussion! I always wanted to make a painting and convert it into sound, maybe have it play a melody. Though I never got very far with the idea, I did start thinking about sound. So, off the track but very interesting, here's a link to the an…

I also love your work, This actually feels as if you are working with stained glass. I like the black line work on it as well.Free and natural. Thanks for the beauty and sensitivity.
Paul I think the surreal colors add interest and complement the composition. The flat, dense coverage and velvety feel of the colors is so reminiscent of the letterpress printing that I love so much. Very much an interpretation or marriage of the ol…
I do it in a similar way although, I do blend layers if I am not getting what I want otherwise ( or to see what I might be missing). I wind up saving lots of versions and then select the one(s) I like.
Richard: I like your "scratchy" art style and design. After viewing your MrSoul I worked late into the early morning hours on some scratchy abstract art. Keep up the good work.
well for something "simple" there is a lot of complexity there. I like how you have subtly shaded the colors, and the use of line is great. Not just the curve and placement of the line but the texture and width of the line too.
Hand painted is nearly always better. One cool aspect of SA is that you can record the hand painted line as a bezier curve, then use the paint paths command to try different strokes. I posted an example of this using a drawing of an avocado a while back. link: http://studioartist.ning.com/forum/topics/bezier-curves-movie
Nice to hear from you. Sorry it took so long to respond we spend a lot of time up at the lake in the summer. I never heard of Live Play but am always interested in new and old stuff. Love your abstracts.
