"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:

Now THIS is really eye candy! Love the composition, pose, textures, lighting...just all of it so wonderfully executed. You may not be sure you'd want to do more like this, but I think "we" all would like so see more of them. Keep it up!

I guess you don't need me to tell you what a beautiful picture this is, but I feel I need to add my two cents. :) The textures are wonderful and the way you implied the shearness of the fabric is amazing and done perfectly. The overall feeling is so quiet and sensual. It's just lovely, Varian.
