Not to mention the actual value of tangible objects / fabric / material too...
50 years from now, what will happen of our "digital art asset"? Even on a 10 scale you'd likely to do several back-ups erasing the notion of original work.
But we still enjoy paintings, drawings, etc. from centuries ago (and more)... and their value skyrocketed for that very reason on top of their artistic qualities.

Hybrid is a sound way to go.

Great selling point I agree. Same with any craft. In an increasingly virtual world, basic skills will once again prove to be the tangible value of creativity. If you combine traditional & digital by whatever means then it's even better - if only for showcasing your work to a (much) wider audience. Or to make even better. Whatever. But old-school techniques are the roots (I believe). It's so much easier to master a computer assisted job once you know the basics in a traditional medium - at least when it comes to arts or crafts.

It's a must in the current age - although it's still much better to have the work in galleries first.

Great. onwards.

Can I see some of this work?

Both are meaningful activities, and props for the toys.

Are you doing this for a living now?

Cool. sorry for not keeping up to date.

oh alright I didn't know that - thought you were in the military. Metal work would mean carving? Or sculpture?

I've been so busy at work! Turns out that a lot of people get depressed this time of year!

Happy holidays!!!!!!

Thanks, Big C!

haha OwenF suggested I use it awhile back.

I see!

I don't know. You don't talk to me anymore.

Amen!!!

Few people do... Men respond to T when I saying anything when we are out together... It's become my own private social experiment... Home is a very safe place to be... even our neighbors keep their distance... It's a running family joke that if they only knew that it isn't the big black guy that is the mean one... it's the short girl; but still not psychopath level mean

You never know... You don't have to be smart to be cruel and vain... I think wanting to be a psychopath is just as dangerous as being one... I think he's young and wants to be cool... and he might be the other, too... I wouldn't risk giving my home address to find out lol

They get proud of themselves... He probably just found out and wants to hear how rare and exciting it is...

For sure that doesn't happen everyday. Feel lucky that you didn't superglue it to your ear :-)
