Congratulations Brad on No. 1

When I first joined u gave me a tip to paint with my arm and not my wrist.

I never forgot that, and it has taken me 12 months to get something like that going, but it was great advice and I can see the improvements when this tip is in practice.

oh appy days.

The artists lino whilst easier to carve than wood because it is ’softer’ it also chips or breaks off more easily. So taking intricate sections slowly and carefully really pays off in the end as you get less of this chipping occuring and are better able to achieve the image.

Double congratulations because it is also the most scam, spam and porn poluted site. If I ever want to revisit my painting period of clown midget dildo f--k machine porn this would be the perfect site for inspiration. Jokes aside, it is time to make the fix, the real fix and not the bandaid.

It also seems to be the most deserted forum. Everyone went to see Jim's show or waiting for their paintings at easyart08.

I guess if you got to number 1 by having the most posts then having spam scam and porn got you there Brad. Keeping the number 1 possition may hindge on keeping the spam but it erodes the sites credibility.

When are you going to make real changes Brad?

We want to talk about art not wade through filth.
