Hi Jill,

Here's a little refresher course on the proceedure for posting a picture:

Click on the "Browse" box, (beside the ImageShack elongated window), and locate the image file on your computer, in the popup window that will appear. When you click on the file that you want to upload, it will automatically appear in the window. All you have to do to upload it, is to click on the "Host it" box, below the elongated window. I take it you got that far without any problems

When the ImageShack site appears on your monitor screen, look up above the image, and highlight the URL to the left of the description that reads "Thumbnail for forums (1)", and copy it to your windows clipboard. It's a long URL, so don't overlook any of it. Paste that URL into your post, wherever you want it to appear, and Viola, you are done.

Hugs,
Wayne

Thanks you guys...that is the picture that will be used in the Tacoma Weekly newspaper. I am meeting with our Admissions Director this afternoon so he can write the article. It is perfect timing for me to have my name out in the community.....never hurts to get some free exposure when I may be looking for a job, hahahaha. TTFN....JJ

Hi Barbara.....this series of work was done using the monotype printmaking process, and then I made collages from them. Basically, I painted/drew on plexiglass (with printing ink), then pulled a print from that. I then used a copy machine to make duplicates....then.... I created a series of other compositions that were all made from the "mother" print. The pieces are non-objective, meaning that there are no recognizable images. The funny thing is that....when you look at them long enough, you start to see things. The one on the right side of me is sort of in the shape of a kimono, and the center dome shape looks like the atomic dome in Hiroshima. I spent two months in Japan, so I'm sure I have certain images floating around in my subconscious. I did not arrange the shapes to make it look Japanese. Spooky eh?
I have kids in the room, I need to make the rounds....TTFN...JJ
