I never find the time to do everything, but love the things I do. Very easy to make friends with and never judge people by what others have said, as I am capable of finding out for myself.BIOBorn in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK. Was lousy at school and taught myself later on in life. Suffered a long illness in childhood and was constantly bullied on my return to school and so glad when I left. First ever job was making cricket bats and hockey sticks.
My interests have changed through life but are all art orientated. I can draw a little but don't bother much now only on the computer. Retired early due to redundancy and have no desire to start again. Live more comfortable than most in this sorry world, though I do sponsor third world children. My lot has not always been a happy one, but I am so grateful for what I have. I know a lot of people who I love and they love me in return, what more could a man ask.
The photograph is years old and was taken by my Aunt who is now in her 86th year. I have kept my hair although it has gone from blonde to grey. The rest of me is not in bad condition although I have gained a little weight due to inactivity with a broken ankle. I am hoping for some decent weather so that I can cycle the countryside once again. Best wishes, Dave - 12th April 2005
23rd June 2005 - I have just removed my favourite artists list, not out of malice it's just to stop the dreaded ebots :) I had a lot more favourites than was listed anyway so it was not up-to-date. I love you all but I must devote time to my wife who is not mobile anymore and needs my help. I may stop by from time to time, but if not I still think of you all. Yours sincerely, Dave

'man does not live by bread alone' - I've heard this argument before - but try doing without (sorry Dave, remmember I am an economics teacher)

Beautiful compo Dave, with a wonderful message as Kort just mentioned. Really creative of you and that red transparent heart really brings this baby home. However i can see that you could have gone closer when darkening the background. I can see somewhat of a brownish outline around the cross beneath the heart. I bet most people dont see it cause they have their screens set darker than mine but i thought i would tell ya nevertheless. Heres a little something i do whenever i create something like this. I always use a layermask instead of painting on the actual photo...that way i can always paint back things i might miss. And before i flatten the layers i always go to levels and i yank those babies up as high as i can...and low...that way i can see how the picture will look on different monitors and i can see if i had missed something that might have shown on a darker screen than mine. But really powerful stuff nevertheless. Have a wonderful evening my friend. #:O)

Andreas was correct and so I have redone the whole lot. The background of the cross was showing through and my monitor is so dark I could not see it, and now I have painted out the background. The fractal image of the heart is suffering since I reduced it twice, first to fit the photograph and then to fit the gallery. I might have another look at it if I have the time. Thanks to all of you for your comments.

excellent isolation of the cross and putting the heart in the image

A lovely image Dave: the scarlet heart is finely counterpointed by the whitesilver crucifix... Multiple levels of meaning are here effectively mediated: Bread without love is dust.. but love without bread is yet love....
