Thanks a lot, D Akey! I'm very glad you liked it. I just got the motto " Sartre and de Beauvoir at a Parisian cafe" (I asked if they should dress as in winter or in summer). As for the style I thought something sketchy, like in the New Yorker's covers.

Hi! The times they are a changing and I lost my post in the newspaper a year and a half before retirement. So I thought of putting together a sample of my work of the last 20 years to show its variety of stiles and media. There are some drawings on real paper with real ink; some with Corel Painter and some with ArtRage (most of them previously posted here). Hope you'll like it.

Hi Bob.

Sorry to hear about you getting let go from your job so close to retirement. The world sort of sucks that way. Nice retrospective.

So many have left ArtRage forums who knew you so you may not get a lot of response here. But that doesn't mean nobody would care if they knew. Despite the relative silence, I'm sure everyone would have loved to see you continuing to do your artwork.I hope you continue doing art at least. It's part of you.

Best wishes to your forthcoming endeavors. And build a new audience for your work. These days that seems to be the way to go for so many.

Hello dear friend, thank you for your encouraging words. I was visiting the forums from time to time but since I wasn't able to buy the 4.5 version I felt I couldn't add something meaningful. Now, with Artrage 5 at loose I am still not so sure. I was expecting the team improving the watercolour engine features but it seems this was not a priority for most users.
Even though, my response to the new circumstances was to invest in an equipment renewal (new Mac mini and Wacom tablet) so maybe AR 5 should be the next step. If so, I bet we'll be talking here again! My best.
