It is Frigid

...in the computer lab. They really pushed the Bridgeman and Vanderpoel books where I studied figure drawing....and I was also recommended the Muybridge photo books for studying movement. If you like figurative painting, check out these awesome guys from my neck of the woods (I think they're only in their early thirties):

And at my attelier all they ever talked about was Sargent and Richard Schmid. www.richardschmid.com His book is amazing....too bad you can't get it on Amazon.com...and it's like $100.

Cat Scott said...: That computer lab is pretty chilly. too bad we can't get into it right now and I need research printed out for my mood piece! thanks for sharing the artist stuff! It is too bad that the Richard Schmid art book is so exensive. Maybe we'll get lucky and find it in a used book store someday for like 4 bucks. Ha!; 10:13 AM

Constantly compare yourself to other artists.
Talk to your family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
Base the success of your entire career on one project.
Stick with what you know.
Undervalue your expertise
Let money dictate what you do.
Bow to Societal Pressures.
Only do work that your family would love.
Do whatever the client/customer/gallery owner/patron/investor asks.
Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.

thank you, Starbuck!
