Art

I haven't done much since my first post but figured I'd show my progress on this drawing anyway.

part2 

I also wanted to state something that has been wearing me down. I take a lot of slack from friends, family, and other people about being an art major. "What are you going to do with an art major?" "Isn't that just silly to spend all that money at college to draw?" While people think this I say to them the same thing. "What are you going to do with an English major?" etc....

You need to open your eyes to the world. Art represents a rich heritage and is a unique way to know about the world and its cultures. When exploring the past or even present, one looks towards art. Art is responsible for shaping our lives. Turn on the television, stroll down a supermarket aisle, watch a movie-- and the one thing always present is art. We read, write and do arithmetic nearly every day, but we see art all the time. Art is part of our ceremonies, celebrations, and worship. Art is basic to our lives.

Art majors are well rounded individuals unique to this world. We don't worry about making major bucks because that's not what is important in the world. It is not an easy college degree either, we don't spend our days drawing. We're in literature classes, history classes, and many other classes, for an artist isn't complete without knowledge of the world. I say to all those people who get engineering degrees--you are taking the easy road to life because you fail to see the point of life itself. I too can design bridges and sculpt roads, however I'm more inclined to do so aethetically better then just a concret slab across a serene river. Remember Leonardo Da Vinci, wasn't just an artist but an inventor way ahead of his time. Disregard art and you hender our future.

For Marc

My mom took this picture while I was drawing a poster for my cousin, Marc. He asked me a while back to do a Black Crowe drawing for him and I finally have the time to draw one. I thought I'd make it my post so you can see my progress.


For those of you unfamiliar with my cousin Marc, he was in a car accident eight years ago which left him nearly paralyzed. He is in a wheel chair for life but can manage to walk short distances. When he was younger he played the violin and used to call me Baby Steven. He was in a coma for 2 years before coming out of it right before they nearly pulled the plug on him. He still has a quick wit and is a riot when taken into a mall because he will hoot and holler at all the girls. Anyway, he asked me to draw him a Black Crowe piece because that is his ultimate favorite band.

Double Take

I'm sure most of you (that is the few who visit this place) did a double take when you saw the new changes to the layout. I hope that you all enjoy! For now I'm changing the site's name to "Sea of Steve" instead of "No Answers.............Just Better Questions." I believe this reflects my posting style better, since I never did anything related to the old title anyway. The URL will remain the same: www.seaofsteve.blogspot.com

Note: These changes were made after spending all day working through this code. I wanted to better represent the fact that I am an artist. The old webpage was too bland and looked as if anyone could have made it. This new layout better reflects what I want. There are still things I need to work on however, so if you have any suggestions for further improvement leave me a comment with your thoughts.

The incident took place after the doctor thought he saw Georgescu move, and bent over to investigate.

The youngster, 16, was taken to the morgue at Brasov County Hospital in Brasov after collapsing and showing no signs of life. He was declared dead on arrival and his body was moved to the morgue.

Today's Humour

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on first?" might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?


COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

ABBOTT: I just did.

COSTELLO: You just did what?

ABBOTT: Recommend something.

COSTELLO: You recommended something?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: For my office?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

ABBOTT: Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: Word in Office.

COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".

COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?

ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.

COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!

ABBOTT: Real One.

COSTELLO: If it's a long movie, I also want to watch reels 2, 3 and 4. Can I watch them?

ABBOTT: Of course.

COSTELLO: Great! With what?

ABBOTT: Real One.

COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?

ABBOTT: You click the blue "1".

COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?

ABBOTT: The blue "1".

COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?

ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: But there are three words in "office for windows"!

ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world.

COSTELLO: It is?

ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.

COSTELLO: And that word is real one?

ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office.

COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on "START".......

The Color Wheel is WRONG?!

Being somewhat of an artist I grew up being taught that yellow was the opposite of violet and red that of green. I remember being frustrated that when mixing these colors I didn't always get a neutral gray but more often then not I mixed up the most obnoxious looking brown color. Until one day I was searching on the internet and low and behold I found out that The color wheel is wrong. Here's what it should be instead of the one used today.

The correct color wheel



The old school verson. WRONG!
