The Kitty Cam

Since we are traveling down to Kentucky to see family, I thought I’d post a live webcam of our Kitties and their normal hangout when we aren’t home. This way we can see them every now and then and I thought it would be fun to put up while we were traveling. The orange cat […]

Josh Simpson: A Megaplanet Apart

I am partial to glass artists. They can take something that is so solid and so lasting, melt it down into molten lava-like substances and fashion it into something beautiful. Dale Chihuly is the name that most people think of when they hear of glass art. Lately for me, it’s been Josh […]

Submit your Art for a free screensaver. My Christmas gift to you!

Okay, Here goes nothing! I have been thinking about how to celebrate Christmas here on Artist Hideout. I couldn’t think of anything I could give so I figured out an idea on something I could make for everyone. The typical artists response for the week of Christmas.
Maybe this will be a […]

Mood Wallpaper: Pensive

warning: full image size is 1536 x 1024 at 202 kb
This is the first of my mood wallpapers. I guess this is how I feel today. Slightly pensive that the storm of my recent health problems has subsided. It could rain or the sun could come shining through at any moment. Hopefully, the latter […]

Artists Are Prone to Hurting Themselves

Maybe I am generalizing here. Maybe it’s all in my head. But I think this is true. Not because we intend to do damage to ourselves or because we think we deserve some kind of penance. I think mainly it’s because we think about other things we are doing or working on and spend too […]

Christmas Lullaby

I think it’s time to relax. I bought a new mp3 player today and decided that I am going to take a few more breaks here and there. Between working at the church, blogging and just the everyday stuff, life has been getting a little hectic.
So today I sat down with my guitar and finished […]

Alien Rastafarian

I did this back when I was in High school and fascinated with reggae music and airbrush art. (the two mixed here with area 51 I guess).
I have my parents to thank for a lot of my interest in art. One year for Christmas, my gift was an 11 gallon air compressor, 50ft of air […]

Hands in Time

From my archives of stuff I’ve done over the years comes the oil painting “Hands in Time”.
I think this started just from wanting to do something that was full of color so I painted the background of a red fading upward to a light green at the top.
Then I used my hands to create the […]

Portraits - An ongoing challenge

Using some tips and tricks from Brian Duey, from his website (who I consider to be a master at the portrait) I was able to come up with this portrait. I am not at all satisfied with it. I guess it is a good start. I’d be able to pick the girl from a lineup […]

My Crappy Car Loves Me!?

First off, I must tell a little back story. I once had lug nuts stolen off the front driver side wheel. While doing 65 mph (more like 70mph) on the outer belt of Columbus, OH during rush hour, my wheel almost fell off. It sheared several lugs and I managed to get […]
