Thanks.
I think I will try to play with different shaped stamps next time. I
also like it when they are one image divided into 4 stamps, but each one
stands on it's own as well.

Thank you all for taking the time and effort to respond. While considering
all of your input and good advice I've tweaked it a bit more. I do notice
that when viewing in Netscape 7 on a Mac the table at the top of the center
panel will not align at the top.How can I fix this?
Also can anyone give me a clue as to how to assign different Hover
attributes to different sections of the page. I tried in Dreamweaver to
change the attribute in the css but the hover style assigned to the page
over rides all others.

Thank you all again!

Yes the weapons are the most important thing, and everyone agrees they
existed. Funny how people forget that fact. Then sometime between the late
90s and 2003 they disappeared - weapons everyone from Clinton to the U.N. to
France to Iraq's own documentation showed existed.

And now they're gone. Without the slighest evidence that they were ever
destroyed.

But, odd, no one seems to care about that. I mean, why worry that something
you knew existed now can't be found? Golly.

tomas.holm
Please hear what mr Blix said...
Remember that he never said there were any weapons, They had difficulies to
get cooperation from the Iraqies - that was what started the confrontation.
And that was why many countries was sceptical about starting the war.

The world now wait for results! But most likely, no great supplies of WMD
will ever be found. There is another country that is about to start making
new WMD however - although claiming them to be tactical and very small -
only half the Hiroshima bomb...

Wait a minute! I never SAW any documentation. The Brits had to copy a
student thesis and try to pass it off as evidence. Their report to
Partliament was "sexed up" to make it sound more convincing, I am much,

What is art?

(*giggles* ... okay ... THAT question ...)

My definition:
"Art is the broad collection of techniques used for demonstrating or
representing a concept."

Further:
My definition covers writing and sports as Art. The furthest extension of
my definition covers Life as Art - provided that you live deliberately.
Another person can assign Art as a label to an Archetype. For instance,
"There goes the perfect dope".
Techniques themselves are concepts.

My definition implies:

Without conception, there is no Art.
Beauty is a seperate concept from Art.
Art can be anything that can demonstrate or represent a concept.
Words can be art.

When I flame that other guy, my complaint is that there is no conception of
a theme, even a theme as ethereal as mood or color. It's just a collection
of odds that he has assembled unconciously and then covered with a few
filter effects. Effectively, he has done some fingerpainting - and, as he
is no longer in kindergarten, I'm taking him to task for it. That, and for
presenting it as Art.

I suppose that I could lighten up - after all, it *IS* fingerpainting. Yet,
it's still crap. paradox. My widdle mind is going to explode.

Apparently you are one of the intellectually lazy masses that requires

You might want to look up the definition of "abstract" before spouting

You might even be selling your work and making loads of money... but
that makes it no less sad or pathetic.
Artists make work and then sell it...hacks make work to sell.

Visual art is NOT story telling.
If you had a shred of imagination you could create meaning or relate
to non-representational work without having a diagram drawn for you.
If you want a story, read a book.

Art is subjective.
Just because you don't like something, or are too shallow to find
anything you can relate to in it, does not mean it will not reach
someone else on an emotional or intellectual level.

I promise you one thing:
If you think you know what "real art" is, and you honestly believe it
can be defined in set parameters, you have no hope of ever creating
anything original.
You are doomed to re-invent the wheel, again and again.

But that's ok... with people like you out there, we can all learn from
example what NOT to aspire to.

I can assure you there IS a theme. And therefore you standout pretty stupid

Every element is carefully considered for a larger composition. Therefore
beeing random is a paradox.

The picture is about selfasteem and the effects bad selfasteem can have on
the way one looks upon oneself. I easily admit that its not the most
important piece
in the world, but does everything have to be? Sometimes artists wants to
convey a mood,
a feeling, a state of mind rather than storytelling. I dont't call myself an
artist because of people
like you. You think you have predefined parameters for what is art and what
is not.
Is it easier to accept when I feed you with the background for it? Either
way you stand out pretty pathetic.

Dream on Cowboy....

No right click? Right click while holding the SPACE BAR DOWN. release
the right mouse button and the usual box pops up and all you have to
do is save picture as...DUD

the no right click scripts are worthless. I usually run without java
running so I never see that crap anyway. Besides a screen capture is
impossible to prevent.

In case the moron trying to "steal" your pics, can't do a screen
capture, there is one method to foil a save as right click.

Put your pictures in a table. Set each picture as the background image
in a cell. Then make a pic that is transparent and the same size as
the original pic. Load the transparent pic into the cell as a normal
pic over the background which is your "real" pic. When they try to
save your picture, all they get is the transparent pic. But a good
screen capture will still foil this method, but most computer users
are still too lame to know how to use a screen capture or what it
actually means. However, If your pictures are really nice and they
want your pics, they will get it. A quick search through the internet
temp directories (like dumpster diving) will give up your pics.

Besides if your pics are so valuable, you should charge a fee to get
into your site and that would offset the one or two people who
actually want your pictures. You would probably get ZERO (like this
many "0" that means none) visitors and then you would truly be
protecting your pictures.

narrowed it
down to this so tha tyou MIGHT understand the point. But you didn't. You had
to point
out that DV was a master and that I use photoshop. Which is totally out of
context and
way beside the point

Even so... it shows how much you know. Not one filter was used in the
process. And I dont even think Xara
makes Photoshop filters. 4 photos from my Olympus camera was used.
Anyhow.. Photoshop is just the tool. Dave McKean is a pure master and
he uses Photoshop all the time, why are you even making a point out of it??
Its almost like pointing out

provided most of the work.

Thats not the point...

Yes, it is. You want your random collage to qualify as "art", and brought
up a famous name to add credibility to a feeble argument. I am interested
in objective substance - of which you have offered none. You can stop
this thread at any time by actually coming up with something that might
provoke some thought at my end. Currently, I can coast in any discussion
with you because it is so banal. Two other posters came up with topics
worthy of thought, and neither of them was you. You cannot defend your
art, and therefore command respect.

Dave McKean uses a tool to make art conciously. You use the same tool to
make random pretty pictures. Again, you drop names to add credibility to
your nonsense.

That's the spirit! :)

BTW, I love your site. Not design-wise, but contents-wise. You're an
artistic type (if there's such a thing), aren't you? You used colors well
to reinforce the content. Color *is* your department, it seems. Though, I
must admit you do have to "dig it up and dust it off."

But you might consider working on typography, and some other very basic
design concepts, *if* you plan to work as a designer. Personally, I don't
require 'graphical sophistication' if I find interesting stuff to read on a
web site. So, your site is okay if you ask me.

And give us more of that save-the-Earth stuff. Since you call yourself a
'synic', there ought to be tons of stuff you could publish on your site,
ain't it right?

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot this: don't grey out the link to the 'Earth
Alert' page. I thought it was unavailable. Then I clicked anyway and found
out it works. Kinda confusing.

No it isn't. Since I was the person made the point in the first place, I
think
I know what the point was. The point was NOT who made the piece but the
piece
itself. The work.. not the maker. I didnt bring up the name of the maker but
the piece
itself. And the point was that ALOT of people dont see the picture for
anything else
than its "surface".

Fine art needs no explanation OR purpose OR ulterior motive. The artist need
not answer to anybody....ever. Artist's have no responsibility to help
anyone see as they do, although that may be a motive for many. There is no

olivier Borgognon
Guess he didn't make it ;o( but well he lost against a local from me ;o))
lol It's a little swiss guy who won Wimbledon tralalalaladlingsingasong ;o)
he made it ;o) and nice and clean win too ;o))) quite proud of him i must
say, i actually won a couple of matches in my life, against my teddyBear and
my dad (the first one probably let me win.. ;o) not quite sure about all
that ..)

but philippoussis played a very nice game, and i'm just amazed with his
aces. Didn't you just hate the way they had to ask the players questions
after the game ? not just let them speak freely ? that really annoyed me,
it's too much now, as if they didn't have anything to say, and couldn't just
align 2 words straight... talk about taking them for total idiots..

That's true, excpt that if the artist asks for critique or accepts a
commission he will answer to someone. There is also a social
responsibility to Art - Artists belong to society, whether they accept
the rules of society or not. Art may offend, and enough offense may have
consequences.

The local craft guilds have juried exhibitions, as does the local museum

if i could give you some piece of advice, try and convince your client
to invest in Dreamweaver MX,

It would show very bad ethics to try to convince a client off a software
package that _they_ have no problem with. The designer works for and adapts
to the client's needs and not the other way around. Doing any
such convincing because of a simple techical problem would be even weirder.

QUOTE
1 simple thing that might convince him is that Dreamweaver has a
feature : Clean Word HTML, and as the Word HTML is the same as
frontpage HTML

No, it definitely isn't. FP can create very good HTML, if the user knows
what he/she is doing.

I see what you mean about not being crazy about the design. Just keep
surfing. Everytime you see a site that you think has "it" print a page
out. Keep a collection of thosepages. Go back ecide what you like
about each site and make try to make it work on your own.

BTW, I like your wallpapers very much. I have wallpapers on my site,
too: www.dreamscape.com/bowcap
I don't like my site much, either. It's almost 3 years old, and I'm
working on a new one right now.
