Take it how you want. You either give everything to social media, or it takes everything from you. In the end, you are left naked and hollow. I wanted to make this a simple composition at its core. The image is more about the message.
Times Square took forever to put together, I think the perspective is off just a bit. Overall, I think I did well with shading and depth. I am also improving on drawing/painting the human form. I wish I could trust in shapes and form and go a bit more abstract, but I think that will come with experience.
A little o' this, a little o' that. All on 8.5X11 heavy white card stock. Some colored pencil. Using photoshop only to render contrast, no other manipulation.
this is a little piece of my entry for a poster design contest. I've always avoided doing figurative drawing - personal or animal. so this is a big step for me. I combined marker art and a painted background, assembled in photoshop.
Yet another former business related cartoon. Quick pean and ink on 8.5X11 heavy cardstock, with a little help from Photoshop for the background. Obviously.
My mother actually used to say this to me and my brothers when we asked her to do something while she was in the midst of doing something else...Magic marker, then worked in Photoshop.
Now that I started to draw my photos, I noticed that I started taking different pictures. I am taking fewer "good" pictures - composition, color all went out the window. Instead, I am taking pictures of things that made me happy or just tickled my fancy.
A stack of blinis, made from my great-aunt's recipe. A book that I accidentally discovered that is so weird and funny. A secret compartment in the wall in a supermarket.
I saw a friend's post about making a zine from a week’s worth of phone photos. I decided to do it by month and in a booklet.
Turns out, most of the pictures I take are cats.
Here is the beginning of August...
Following a natural disaster overseas I came across a Facebook fundraiser claiming to send aid directly to families affected by the crisis. The images were heartbreaking: children huddled in temporary shelters, families sifting through rubble and the organizer posted daily updates about their so-called relief work. Feeling a strong urge to help I decided to donate $18,000 in cryptocurrency confident that it would make a real difference for those suffering. The updates initially seemed genuine with detailed descriptions of supplies being purchased and distributed. For a time I felt reassured that my contribution was actually reaching those in need and I thanked myself for trusting a platform where people could supposedly make a difference.However after a few weeks the page suddenly disappeared. Confused and alarmed I tried to track down the organizer but all contact information had vanished. It was then that I discovered the horrifying truth. The photos used in the fundraiser had been stolen from news sites and there had never been any relief operation. I felt an overwhelming sense of betrayal, anger and disbelief. Not only had I been scammed but my trust in online giving something I had always valued was deeply shaken. I began wondering if I would ever see the $18,000 again.Determined to recover the funds I reached out to Salvage Asset Recovery. From the moment I contacted them the team at Salvage Asset Recovery sprang into action conducting a meticulous investigation. Salvage Asset Recovery traced the cryptocurrency wallet I had sent my donation to and discovered that it had received hundreds of similar payments from other unsuspecting donors. Using advanced blockchain analysis tools Salvage Asset Recovery followed the trail as the funds moved through several smaller wallets each designed to obscure the trail. Finally Salvage Asset Recovery located the money on a major exchange confirming that it was still recoverable.Three weeks later to my immense relief Salvage Asset Recovery returned the full $18,000 to me. This was eye-opening on many levels. While it exposed me to the risks of online fundraising scams it also restored my faith in the possibility of justice and recovery when the right expertise is applied. Without Salvage Asset Recovery I would have likely lost faith in online giving entirely forever doubting the legitimacy of charitable campaigns I encountered. Instead I now feel more empowered and cautious knowing that while scams exist Salvage Asset Recovery is capable of untangling even the most sophisticated cryptocurrency fraud and helping victims reclaim what they lost.

The adage "all that glitters is not gold" proved a harsh reality I recently encountered. The digital realm of cryptocurrency investments and exchange platforms is not immune to deception. My pursuit of cryptocurrency investments led me to a seemingly legitimate site, complete with convincing investor testimonials touting successful withdrawals. Unbeknownst to me, it was an elaborate scheme. I invested $210,000.00 worth of cryptocurrency across multiple wallets, as directed by the scammers. Initially, the process mirrored typical modern investments, but my withdrawal requests were met with evasiveness and silence. This represented my entire life savings, accumulated through years of dedicated work, now vanished in an instant. Refusing to accept defeat, I sought assistance from METATECH-RECOVERYPRO, which facilitated a successful recovery. Their process was remarkably efficient. They meticulously traced my lost funds back to the perpetrators, and within a short timeframe, the recovered assets were returned to my bank account. Without this exceptional recovery team, which offered support when all hope seemed lost, my situation would have been dire. To initiate your recovery, I strongly advise sending a detailed email (Metatech@Writeme.Com) of your task, outlining your specific circumstances.
