As I live in Melbourne,Australia, I'm probably not much use to you....but a friend of mine often exhibits her work in 'cafe-galleries' which seem to be quite popular here (my brother actually runs one), and she gets her work seen by an amazing number of people...it's just a matter of going in, ordering a cappachino, asking to talk to the owner, striking up a rapport..."and by the way, I just happen to have my portfolio on CD here..." (Which reminds me...Thanks Alpha for the tutorial and HTML)...Anyway...good luck! BTW nplus, thanks for the feedback re my site...did you get my email? Cheers and merry Christmas!

Cool Sue, something a little different! The lines and negative spaces of the second one do it for me. (but the top one is great too) :-)>

"Don't cry for me Ants in Freezer" oh I'm sorry...I just can't keep a straight face!! Ahh, poor little buggers....

LOL - ohhh that takes me back....to about 2 days ago! I love the challenge of a good paper plane, still haven't perfected the best design (mine usually cartwheel after 2 feet) oh well!

I've got a lovely bunch of....? cherry tomatoes? What are these cute little red things and why has one got a tail? I like both of these images by the way bsteph! :-)>

Amazing! That does it!! I'm giving up UltraFractal...I'm going wading instead! LOL. Thanks Sue! :-)>

And a very handsome face it is too! It just doesn't look very comfortable attached to that hardware!! ;-)>

Niko...sorry I'm a bit late! I love your work and this is a really tough call. I know you've probably made your mind up already, but here is my humble opinion, for what it's worth: One of my favourites of all your pieces is "Love" Of the ones posted above "Hatman" and "Beast" are on top of my list. I agree with Alpha in that "Ligthouse" is a real gem too. "Witch" would also be one of my considerations. Just to throw a spanner in the works (no pun intended...well maybe just a little one) and disagree with just about everyone (including you), I would give "Tool" a miss. Sure, it's a great piece, but it seems a bit generic to me, and (IMHO) just doesn't have that 'Antoonio' feel to it...? Whatever you put in, you will shine Niko! Good Luck!

Thankyou SueO, Niko...I have picked up some great ideas from the John Paul Caponigro book I mentioned in Alpha's "Something New In Black and Whie" Thread...It's quite a good reference on different methods using Photoshop. Thanks Syyd! (The link to the guest book was below the Egg on the home page) You really liked my poetry?? Most people look at me as if I'm a bit deranged when I show it to them!! Lol, I appreciate your feedback.

They say that no two sunsets are ever the same...this one is a beauty. I like the photos of your friends too. I'll be glad when my children are a little bit older and we can take them hiking and camping, it's so good to get in touch with nature. (Not to mention the photo opportunities!)

Thanks Maygen...or should I say Ms. Crawford! LOL!

I agree, my LCD has often led me astray. But my viewfinder is not through the lens...so what can i do, I either frame the image accurately or..FUZZY! lol...good playing Jordy.

Thanks people...Michael, I know what you mean about the email business....What Slynky did was leave a bogus email, I think it was yaright@gullible.com or something like that!! lol our Slynky. Thanks for the compliment re R.Crumb Alpha, I love that guys works! (and have probably been influenced by them..reading Zap! comics when i was younger) JordyArt!...clouds are all I CAN think of!! I know smoke, haze even little dandelion floating things (Am I giving away any ideas?? Good!) BUT I can't find any of these examples lately!! (Come to think of it..don't want smoke, not in a bushfire danger area!)

Very interesting image Niko...

And thus we find that a discussion on less...becomes....more!
