Retired but not Tired

Mon Jun 29, 2009, 7:27 AM
Musings from a Misfit......

The last few weeks have been a flurry of activity with doctor
visits and complete physicals for my grunge job to see if
I am physically able to return to work after being off
for 1 year now....

I had 3 back surgeries in the past year and the spine is still
shakey and the future is unknown, so my Company has retired me
from the active roster and I will be applying for a
medical retirement as soon as the paper work comes through.
So as of today, I am legally a Retired person....

I was under loads of stress while this was going on and
have kept up with my friends and watchers on DA but have
not really been able to concentrate on doing some
new art pieces like I love to do....

So its Monday, a brand new week, heading into a brand new
month and the stress of yesterday is now over....

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life.
The living being is only a species of the dead,
and a very rare species.


Friedrich Nietzsche

:love: your work :clap:

we all sign our work :nod: but i think the size and density of your signature detracts from your stunning images :nod:
:iconheartballoonplz: just a thought

:tighthug: African Proverb :tighthug:
thanks so much for the feedback, for a while I was using
the watermark that DA has and that was so ugly that I dropped that feature and started using my own.

I really appreciate that you think some of my works are
good, and will rethink my signature after this....

Rules To avoid criticism

do nothing
say nothing
be nothing
:tighthug: i'm delighted you're not upset by my suggestion :tighthug:
your work will display MUCH better without all the signature text you're currently using :manhug:
with all the art theft going on i can well understand why you want a prominent signature :nod: just a matter of balance i think - it's the image that's most important - your signature should add to the composition rather than detract from it :manhug:

"You need not teach the paths of the forest to an old gorilla"
:tighthug: African Proverb :tighthug:
oh no, I am never upset by constructive help...
I am a complete amateur so any help is greatly appreciated.

A lot of the photos posted here are photos that I have or will
be entering in national contests, so I am glad you
understand the double sword of pleasant display and artist
safety.


Thats what DA is all about, artists helping artists...
