Ebay and its wonders...

So I was scrounging around ebay tonight looking for refrence photographs of women from the 1920s. I found this AMAZING 95 year old scrap book up for bid there which had old clippings from articles and magazines of silent film actresses. Of course I had to bid on it! So don't be surprised if you see me walking around with a 95 yr old scrap book for inspiration.

Anyhow, I emailed my teacher about this Baseman issue. I am not sure if I am going to be able to take it very far considering the man's status. I just think the important lesson learned here is this:

1. Myspace is dangerous. Be aware that posting artwork means people can steal and idea.
2. Apparently well experienced illustrators aren't creative enough to come up with their own concepts or ideas and have to stoop so low to rip of an art students project.
3. Stealing concepts is a strange form of flattery.
4. I should email him and thank him for taking an interest in my work and doing a series based off of it...

Anyhow take a peek at a new link I put up in the links section. It is me pretty much summed up in a blog of artwork.
