Once again, it was my pleasure to model at the Pittsburgh South Arts school in Bethel Park. I might look worse than I should for a model, but I can’t tell you how relaxed I am now with these folks.

Since I have been paying so much attention to comic book art lately, I had forgotten the different vision of fine artists. I hate to classify or label anyone but there’s a difference in drawing an exaggerated version of (your) idea of the perfect human specimen for a superhero in her peak of physical development versus a fine artist who is capturing the realistic curves in front of his/her eyes. As Chuck Percherke reminds me, it’s not about flat sculpted abs or perky breasts rounded by the illusion of silicone implants; fine art is about “shapes and lines” of which I have plenty as an aging woman who has put on some pounds and developed a few wrinkles and stretch marks.

  1. Someone on Flickr stole these shots and claimed he took them, Most of his account is stolen shots

    This is Flickr’s advice
    If you see photos or videos that you’ve created in another member’s photostream, don’t panic. This is probably just a misunderstanding and not malicious.
    A good first step is to contact them via FlickrMail and politely ask them to remove it. If that doesn’t work, please file a Notice of Infringement with the http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/copyright/en-us/ who will take it from there. Check out the “Copyright/IP Policy” link in the footer of every page for more information.

    • Jesus christ. Thank you! I’ve commented on all the ones I could easily find but there’s 6 pages! And I emailed the Yahoo copyright office. THANKS!!
