Interests and Personality

BiographyMy ambition is to be a fully fledged illustrator. I have just completed my degree in Illustration with First Class Honours. I hope to receive recognition for my wide range of direction in drawing and painting. I may be a very shy person, but this does not show in my artwork (hopefully!). I'm also a bit of a indie tomboy.

Susuie, one of the friends listed at your site, is ill. A get well letter would do her heart good and cheer her up a bit. We live in a world that does not apriciate art. We must care for eachother. So leave a post on he board if you have time. L John TOX

I got the sword from a website. I also got a pair of sai. The company is Blades UK Ltd and can be found at http://www.blades-uk.com/view_items.php?cat_id=76. This particular sword is a copy of the one used by Morpheus in the second Matrix film.

Hi! Listen, I have about 6 months to prepare for my first solo show, and I was hoping you could assist me. I will need to have at least 30 paintings to display. If you could, with as much honesty as possible, please name 2 of my completed pieces that you feel I should definitely show. Also, please share 3 things with me, based on my current work, (remember be honest), that you would recommend to me for improving my art in general. I am fine if you post this on my public board because it may be interesting to others. The feedback from other artist on this website is very valuable to me. Thanks! ~Marianne
