"Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong,
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong,
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me!
What else can I be but what I am?
I want to live, not merely survive,
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive.
I gotta be me, I gotta be me!
The dream that I see makes me what I am."
My real homepage: www.varian.netBIOI've been making art since I was old enough to hold a crayon. For well over a third of a century, I explored many media (personally and professionally) and my favorites came to be color pencils (Prismacolor), acrylics, paper (folding, sculpting, papier mâché, origami), pencil/ink and yes, crayons too. With my first computer, I was immediately hooked on this new technological art medium and for over a decade, I worked exclusively digitally, gathering a wide arsenal of digital art tools.
Recently, I've made a return to paper, working on several altered books and collage projects. Mixed media still rules as I remain unaligned by tool/software, process or technique.
I don't post all my displayed images at R'osity. If you want to see more, please visit my site galleries:

Nicely done, a pleasant soft and bright aura to the whole scene. If I may.. there's one thing that doesn't look quite right to me, the distant hills on the left side are brighter than the sky behind them. This shouldn't really happen (unless the ground is particularly bright, snow etc..), I have seen it happen at times when the sky is filled with dark rain clouds, but a gap in them allows some sunlight to shine through onto a hill, making it much brighter than the sky behind it (looks really surreal). Anyhow, I just think it would look better and more natural looking if it was darker compared to the sky like it is on the right.. But no big deal, I only noticed it because I looked over the picture for such a long time, and of course I only did that because I like it ;]
