I think I know what I'll use my deviartArt page for...finally. I think that this will be the play where I post (for critique, but mostly for poops and hahas) as I learn how to paint digitally. You can see some of my attempts from Art Academy on the Nintendo DSi here; I also have Photoshop (which I've never used for painting), Adobe Illustrator, and Autodesk Sketchbook Express...and there's dA Muro as well. So many tools! Where do I begin?

"[Her linocuts] have a bold, stark, historical flavor with strong stylization and symbolism. The watercolor pictures are softer, dreamier, full of super-saturated colors common to many forms of African and African-American art: rich melting browns, deep golds and earthy reds, jungle-leaf greens, limpid blues. Most of the subjects are women, or nature, or some combination of the two; urban imagery is also common, sometimes overlapping the others. Many pictures are surreal, symbolic, allegoric; others are closer to realistic. These are the dimpled footprints left by one artist's walk through life."
