My site all done using photoshop

And, yes, I have a lot more to learn. But I had much fun creating these images and would love to
hear your comments — good, bad or ugly.

I know, too, the site needs much more work and the navigation sucks. I just hope you like the
images.

Ever since I fell in love with metallic makeup and body painting, I’ve wanted to produce some really fantasic art. Photoshop 7.0 has given me

this

opportunity
and I think you’ll like the results.

You’re trying to sell some of those Photoshop Plugin’ed pictures for $500???

Sounds like a sales pitch.

Actually, no. I guess I should have gotten rid of that a long time ago.

The new work I’m going to be producing over the course of the next few months will be selling for from $3500 to $7000 up in New York at the Agora Arts Gallery.

Besides, the PayPal links don’t even work.

My deepest apologies if I offend you and I probably should have warned you all that two sets do have pricetags. Again, I’m not.

I’m much more expensive than that.

I just wanted you gentlemen and ladies to enjoy my artwork.

Hecate:

One, look at the above posts. I’ve already said I’m not selling anything I gave that up a long time ago.

Two, yes, I will learn Dreamweaver. My daughter loves it and will be teaching
it to me.

Three.Thanks!

1. Buy a copy of Dreamweaver and Learn how to use it,
2. Buy a book by PT Barnum and learn what he has to tell you if you think people will pay money for what you’re displaying.

Uuhhh……..What Hecate said. But, you know, they bought Andy Warhol, a guy who could not hold a candle to any serious and competant artist. There is sooooo much good stuff out there, and while mr edwards picture are somewhat interesting, unless he has them in some very large format for sale, say a 10×15 foot print, I doubt anyone will pay much for these prints at this time. But then, they bought Warhol, after he made his name by blatant and "Barnum-ish" showmanship.

I’m a makeup artist as well as someone who works in Photoshop. Are you claiming to have produced the "metalic effects" thru Photoshop alone…?
Cuz….not for nothin’ dude…they look like metalic painted ladies *enhanced* thru Photoshop…
not plain nudes made to look metalic *with* Photoshop.
You can see the makeup around the closeup’s eyes
If you did that effect solely with PS…I’d love to hear how. eddie

I had the pleasure of working for this gentleman, back when I still felt the need to be working for someone else. He fired me. That turned out to be more to my benefit than his, and he realized it at the time.

In the meantime, he dumped his companies and started doing that artist thing, and that was btter for him, too. Sometimes you just have to make the change.

They are, indeed, painted ladies enhanced through photoshop.

I love the effects photoshop has with the metallic makeup. Sorry, if I didn’t make that clear.

Confusing, convoluted, very poorly done.

Interesting you should mention Andy Warhol:

I had dinner last night with Veruschka and director Paul Morrissey. She seems agreeable to coming to your October seminar if this first one comes off well. I encouraged her to do so. Hope this helps. I will try to do one of the second two also … (turns out I’m booked to be at my client in Indiana this early part of August). I have a Lufthansa ticket I can use, I think.

"HTML for Dummies" would be a good start.

Mr. Edwards,

I have looked at your site, interesting, but not for me. Yes, as other replies have said, the site could use some improvement. But then, every site on the Internet could use some improvement, in someone’s opinion. As for the discussion concerning the price of your Art, print it on some soft paper and use it the next time you wipe your ass, for that is all those comments are good for. I hope you do sell your work for as much, if not more than you are asking for it. If you do, please find some way to post (verified) poof of it here so all those with their helpful advise can read it and weep, for they are really losers. As for the person that wrote you need "Art for Dummies", I say, that person needs get a life (Life for Dummies).

Cute.

Agora Gallery isn’t a cheap proposition either. They charge from $3000 to $10000 in annual
sponsorship and then want 35% from sales.

Great if your rich and don’t mind paying this kind of money for something which appears similar
to those annual poetry contests.

Personally, I’d rather spend the money on getting more images to work on and learning a whole
lot more about Photoshop before even considering such an escapade.

I have a lot to learn about Photoshop and I know it.

Well, nice to see you’re still around, Eric! Was wondering where you went. Remember those days
of me paying your rent and helping out — a few grumbles and growls, but I did anyway, remember?

Check out: HTTP://www.studio20.org.uk.

I left Microsoft a year ago — actually, they left me — claimed I didn put: <ACTION>
</ACTION>

Go figure. Anyway, check out the battle Melody and I have been waging with Studio20
in Bradford. Been posting most of the communications between them and me since day
one. I have until COB their time tomorrow to come up with $1800.

But if you take a look at their site and realize I came up with the business plan — not to mention the fact that they’ve tied my work to thier memembership benefits plan — you can pretty much
figure who should be paying who. Going to CBS News with this one while I’m up in New York
visiting Veruschka(vera).

Vera has asked me to e-mail her when I’m in town.

By the way, Melody says H!. She, by the way, has talked with Vera.

You’re going to need to start from the bottom up.
The last e-mail from Ivan implies I’m homeless and have no phone.

Well the phone part up here is true — since we’re moving back down to Louisiana.
