My Interests

I'd like to meet:

THESE ARE SOME OF MY SCROLLSAW PORTRAITS.Theres nothing like taking a strait blank board and turning it into a work of art."After all a picture is worth a thousand words".I use a scrollsaw to make my pictures.I like to cut as big as can.15"X 15"is the biggest so far,but on the average of 11"x 14" and very seldom 8"x"10".The bigger the better.Scrollsaw art,is a art that has endless possibility.I like to cut pictures that you cant get from a scrollsaw mag.I make patterns from pictures of real people,album covers and anything off the wall.It all starts with a great picture to work with.Good contrast and color.Its hard to cut a portrait off a cellphone.Ive done it before,but there's no comparison.Alot of the patterns,ive made are from real pictures.Ive masterd alot of it from doing picture editing over the years.Plus just drawing alot of different things and knowing how shaddow and light works.I like to draw alot of crazy stuff too.I have a wild imagination.Sometimes it takes me off the deep end,but,thats the way like it.Creativity is a wonderful thing..
