Is Video the Answer?

Is Video The Answer? For the first time in my art career, I have made a few video's in the past few months. I have received many compliments and views. One of these videos is featured on HandcappedPets.com. I also have a probable video job lined up in a month or so. I have enjoyed making these videos and feel there are many in my future. I have signed up with a video traffic generating engine, so you WILL be seeing many more videos from ME in the future.

PS ... For some reason blogger will not let me set my type style today.

Website Design

My Paintings and Digital Art Prints are currently taking a backseat to web design and maintenance. I am setting up 4 large affiliate marketing websites that will hopefully supplement my income, while supporting products and causes that are dear to me. I love making websites. I will post links to these sites when they are completely functional. I am also available to design websites for any others that may need one.

Art Website Updated

I just updated the first 2 pages of my art website at www.sharrylbryan.com .
they include a few more paintings and a new scan of my portrait taken, and given to me, by the photographer Paul Weiner. It is brighter and shows more of the gold that is beautiful in the original print.
Check it out at SharrylBryan.com and the Gallery Page.

Visual Illusions

Today, my friend Dan sent me a link to a visual illusion. Checkered grey boxes gave the illusion of being one shade of grey when in fact they were actually another shade. I remember back in art school in my first design and color theory classes (with instructors Bruno Bak and Jo Peterson), we solved similar problems. Though then we mixed our own paints and cut our painted illustration boards to form designs that showed these same sort of illusions. Now there is an MIT professor of visual science named Edward Adelson who has used computers to display these tricks of the eye on the Internet. You can visit his web pages here ... check out his illusions and demos page ... http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/index.html ...

This looks much easier to do on the computer than it was with paint and board ... but I do know how to paint AND use the computer. :)
