Well I'm no Vincent Van Gough (I'm no oil painting either  ) but that hasn't stopped me dabbling in the arts over the years, so I'll add a couple of my music releated pieces I've done. Feel free to tell me if you think they're a load of Pollocks.

I haven't done any art for a couple of years myself, I was in the process of teaching myself to paint with Water colours, but then other elements in my life took priority and so drawing and painting were neglected. Drawing with graphite has been my favourite medium for many years, I paint for diversity as much as anything as I can only draw still life. I wish I could draw from my imagination as I envy people that are able to do that, but I'm thankful that I'm able to express myself in some way, even if it is only for my own satisfaction. If others get some pleasure from what I do then that's a bonus, the same goes for my photography. :rolleyes:

Alan - it is very brave of you to exhibit yourself this way - congratulations (even I have not dared it this way)! And you know how much I care about you... ...but the left photo is... uh... with all respect... out of question... ... and I'd appreciate it if you showed your EYES. As far as I know, you've got nothing to hide anymore. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> A smile on top will make you irrestsitible, my dear. Love Isabel (truly and sincerely)

Hi Isabel I kinda included those two images as I class them more as photographic studies into Portraiture, rather than a true reprsentation of how I look. The one on the left was posed in that way, because it is the complete opposite of how I was at that time. Normally every photo that was taken of me had me sporting a hugh grin, so I wondered what I would look like if I wasn't so open and forthcoming with my visual emotions. I would tend to class myself as a photographic artist rather than a Photographer like Ash, as I am a long way off the sort of standard of work that Ash produces. I use the camera to produce pictures rather than photos, hence the reason I refer to them as snapshots as I'm capturing a moment in time, rather than the way something really looks like because if you tried to find it again you couldn't, because that moment has gone forever. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> 'The eyes are the windows to your soul' which is why I always wear shades on self-portraits, it de-personalises it deliberatley as it's just a picture that happens to use myself as the subject. I'll see about using a real photo for my avatar instead of a picture.

I wouldn't class myself as a photographer, I work for Nisan Motor Manufacturing in Washington in Tyne And Wear. But thanks anyway, I'm flattered by your kind words. Also, Mikeys ability to strike up a likeness has hit the bullseye again ! Remember 'Florian Young' Mike ? [The scala pic], now you've come out with another corker. I do believe it's 'Bennett' from Commando, remember his demise.......'Let off some steam Bennett' said Leiutenant John Matrix Nice art Alan....keep it gannin' sunna
