Getting your "act together" as an artist is not as easy as some may lead you to believe. Since you are taking the time to read my words, I am going to explain something that may be of value, if it is your desire to be part of the Art Studio 54 Artists Network:

I Honestly Want People To See Your Artwork !

I want to see your artwork too, which means the both of us will require great photos. Do not depend on the average person to be able to imagine what your artwork should look like under better lighting conditions. If you care enough about your own image as an artist, take the time to talk with a local printer and find out who they use for image reproduction with a large format camera.

Do not depend on your own skills with a digital camera !

The "Bucket Of Art" image is a prime example of What Not To Do. I saved the above image at a low 4 quality to show you the halo effect. The image can't decide what it wants to be, because it does not have enough information --and that is why these little cubes appear on all the detail edges.
