Description I'm so happy I'm getting this posted. It went through quite a few variations as I worked on it.
Had to finally delete the previous working with each session, or I would've ended up with 20 of them.

Really like this one (hope you do too, Jen)and you can see an untouched portion of fractal. This is the second morph.

Have 2 more to finish up before never touching them again lol

This is alittle sneaky. Has more then appears at first glance. Give it some time or repeated short views to get it.

you picked another that was not only hard and time consuming, but I don't recall it getting much of a response. Maybe I'm wrong.

Stepbeyond In reply to WattsHanna [2008-06-20 02:34:01 +0000 UTC]

I will be soon. What's been going on with me I can't even explain. I talked to my Pastor about it today. This is for real. He's one of the few that knows what I'm going through. It's big Hannah, and scary.

Stepbeyond In reply to WattsHanna [2008-06-23 03:18:23 +0000 UTC]

well, not really. It's everything over the past 4 years. I feel like a balloon ready to pop. Everything is just clicking. Oh I wish I could explain it all, but I don't know how to here. If you believe in divine callings, or know some one who's had one, it's truly unexplainable.
My Pastor confirmed that it is indeed for real with me. He himself was a Jewish man, NY firefighter, very inteligent and has more love in his heart then anyone I've ever met. Anyway, he's now a Pastor. He understands more then most what a calling is.

Maybe one day I can talk with you over the phone, but I'm not going to push it. I'm coaching a few woman over the phone from DA. They are getting as ton of information and know what's going on with me.

I'll try and keep you updated as best I can on here

Stephan, are you telling me you got sort of power that we normal people dont have?
thats what i understand. is it? if yes, please explain.

Stepbeyond In reply to WattsHanna [2008-06-28 04:19:02 +0000 UTC]

lol No--no. I don't have any power, but I feel God's. Art found me. The hardest art school. If it weren't for the tile trade my art wouldn't exist as you know it. A woman just stumbled on my site and wants to feature me in the August issue of a flagship emagazine.

It says on the top of the page " A new direction in art and literature.

It's like my entire life was planned around this. Hannah, I would've said you were crazy if you told me what was going to happen.

This is nothing what I wrote here. So many things over 25 years. Every piece fit perfectly.
Look. I'm really down to earth guy and would never ever figure I'd get such a calling. Me!! Let's get serious.

I can't get out of this art thing Hannah if I dropped art completly.

Once again--I don't like text messages--it just can't come out right. I didn't grow up with this and I'm glad I didn't

To answer your question. It's not me that has the power with anything. I've been on a roller coaster for at least 4 years. When I thought I knew what was going on years ago, as things kept happening, I knew it was time to talk to the Pastor. This whole thing is too big--the Pastor understands completely.

One more thing Hannah. I didn't ask for any of this. What do I do now? I really don't feel like getting eaten by a whale

I thank you for your interest Maybe one day we can talk like normal human beings. This thing frustrates me to no end lol

listen stephan, that style of art that you do might lead you to crazyness, those endless circuls might draw you in like a vacum cleaner.... i am kidding, with a hint of meaning it. anyway to be an artist is to be crazy...
seriously, i think you will be a happy man with your calling! good luck with all you chose to do!

Pro scanners that I use from a service---scans 30X40 pieces. The colors are exactly as the original.

When talking about the work getting clobbered here, I meant viewing them on the net.

Dude! your work is morphing into something else new and unique!
Your style is obviously there - uniquely you despite the apparent digital media.
I love it!
It shows a natural progression, or sidetrack and it is wonderful to behold: the way your work morphs but is still recognisably your own.

Amazing!

Thank you There a pain. It's terrible (to me) working on the comp. You really can't see what your doing lol I mean--yes---but no. Same complaint I have about people on net not really seeing my work. How could they?
Now, where have you been? lol

Oooo neat! and OMG I got the prints yesterday i'm so happy, thank you so much Steve they look amazing! just sucks a little that some of the edges got damaged during transportation, but that won't show when we put them into frames

Thank you from all of us, we love them

Heyyyy I can't believe you got them already! Honestly, I didn't like the one you wanted. That's why I sent the others. You realize you can cut that a few ways and get a few, but I would leave it the way it is. I'm talking about Dicover. Did I also send Color Fest?

Anyway, I'm happy you can enjoy them off this stupid comp. Quite a difference---hah? Wait as you view them over and over. You will see all those things you could never see on the net.

You're welcome ---Enjoy

Hey there. Been a while. Nice to hear from you.

About the morphs. They are digitally painted. So I can paint in that style on comp, but my traditionals have gone up a notch I think, but still in my style. I couldn't or wouldn't want to create what I do with traditional art on comp--cpildn't. You simply can't see the work progress. You can, but it's not the same.
