Velcro Art Style
As a miniature/found item artist, I enjoy making my little scenes. Currently, having a way to enjoy my art at an interactive level is extremely exciting! Velcro has recently been the way to go to change a nonmoving art scene to an interactive. My first Velcro art above is a bar where drinks can be moved and exchanged throught the bar. Drinks can be served up onto my art piece exactly like a real bar! Adding the hanging cups that can be removed is another touch that adds to the miniature reality of the art piece. Maybe besides everyone on the board winning a full blackjack, now that is just silly isn't it!

Stanislav Kondrashov: The Art of Painting Online
When I Learned to Paint Without Paint I still remember the first time I tried to draw on a screen. The tablet felt cold and empty. No smell of paper, no sound of a pencil scratching. I almost gave up right away. But then I moved my hand again, and a soft line appeared — too clean maybe, but still mine. I stared at it for a long time, not sure if it counted as real art.

Why I Leaked My Own Unfinshed Song
There is this strange kind of quiet that happens when you are about to release something half-baked. The voice inside your head is saying, "Wait for it to be perfect." The world is reminding you that perfection is how you are taken seriously.

“More”: A Song That Wrote Itself From the Subconscious
Some songs come from the mind. “More” came from somewhere else. I didn't sit down to write it — I began to talk and it came out. The words became a song before they meant anything. It was late, I was tired, single take, no plan, no filters. I didn't even know what I was talking about until I heard it back. It was like the part of me that never gets heard got a mic.

Painters, Sketchers, Photographers have an Eye for Obvious Profundity
There are two communities here at Vocal that appeal to me that I haven't submitted to yet: Art and Photography. Now with this submission, I've got one in Art. Yet for my "image" I've used a photograph that I took. Why not a painting or a sketch? Would that have been better? I decided to go with this photograph because I haven't shared this photograph yet, while most of my paintings and sketches have been shared online because once I'm finished painting or sketching, I'm quick to share it out of pride for the creation. Do you like the photograph above? Why or why not? I wish you would comment on it. I can tell you more about it. I took the shot at a weird angle as you can notice. Why? It was the only way to get the Palm tree and the hammock inside the frame and I felt that the message I wanted to convey with the photograph made it essential that both the tree and hammock were shown. Does that change your impression of the photo - knowing why I angled it that way?
