I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again, it&#8217;s not the tools, it&#8217;s the workman.  I&#8217;ve seen artists who painted with coffee and rusty water.  I know a guy who takes old bill-board canvas and makes collage art out of that.  (In fact, I hear it sells for a pretty penny!)  But, me, I&#8217;m a computer geek, so I make computer art.   Hmm, I wonder if it&#8217;s worth putting a copyright statement on these?<br \/>\nOh, you may notice that this is a square instead of my regular full-screen rectangle.  &#8220;Why?&#8221;, you ask?  Well, simple.  I was over at Cingular, looking at graphics, and it occured to me that I could use their custom picture tool to send a nice picture that I created to my new phone.  So, I made a square graphic that I can compress with their program and fit onto my phone&#8217;s little, square screen.  It may have taken all night to render, but, I think it was worth it.<br \/>\nIn any case, I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making art is fun and easy!
