what are these vectors you guys speak of?! i'm not familiar with the digital art terms. :D

really? lol
vectors are seen in programs like illustrator and corel draw (and CAD programs id imagine). the data for an image is sort of "stored" in various points. each point has directions like "go 45 degrees that way towards the other point." think of line drawings i guess. vectors are scalable, so you don't lose any resolution if you blow the file up to say, billboard size. im doing a piss poor job explaining.
rasters are seen in photo editing software (like photoshop). the images data is stored in pixels. each pixel tells you what it is "im this particular shade of red." rasters aren't as scalable, as the bigger you make the image, the more visible the pixels are. however, they tend to represent photographs easier.

this pales in comparison to most others art here, but I love it. i call it "pink room" just incase you dont know what a pink room is, its a room thats best described as being in a pencil eraser, but in a jail, where you cant harm your self or anyone else, along 24 florescent lighting, and being naked. with only a hole to relieve your self in.
the pepto pink is supposed to 'calm' a person, and the specific paint, which is what i used here is the real (sealed)antibacterial paint, from the early 80's late 70's. probably 2.25'x3.3
i have spent a fair amount of time in these 'pink rooms' and the way time lapses is amazing... the different shapes are the time constant, and the basic structure of it all is at times ramped. being off in space where time never existed, our, or , my mind correlated the structure, symmetry, and development of such said shapes and their origin.
as they were presented to me in a 'controlled' environment.
so, an ways, to any who feels like they may not be an artist. our minds are capable of more then you could imagine, imagine as much as you can and let the furthest, most embedded instincts be your guide.

Weird, I swore I posted in this thread before but I don't see it now. Oh well, here is some of my stuff:
More under here:
Some of them aren't the full picture or very good quality because I either couldn't fit them on a scanner or had to take a crappy photo of them. I haven't painted anything in a long time, I've devoted myself to creativity and expression through the written word these days, but painting is still a part of me and I'm sure I'll get round to it again! Btw, there is so much amazing work in this thread it was basically impossible for me to quote everything I loved. All of you guys are incredibly talented. Keep at it!

Thanks! That's one of the first paintings I ever did, it's my favorite painting, I'd never sell it. It represents the start of my spiritual awakening.

notDeja- I really like the landscapes. So serene.
ryan- I would so buy a t-shirt with one of your pieces on it. I especially like the style of 'dimentia', 'discordance interrupted' and your self-portrait. Especially discordance. <cough>
Reading this thread makes me want to get back into drawing. The most that I've done are some abstract pencil 'visual textures' that were little more than OCD doodles back in high school. I liked them, but I don't know if anyone else would.

After browsing through the thread again, I have to say, as hard as it is to pick a favorite, I think this one is absolutely amazing. I mean.. the color, the depth, the FEELING I get when I look at it. Wow. I would buy this and hang it up and stare at it for hours. I love it.

Pretty cool JSG. I get the stuff exploding out of your head, and the phallic heart, but I'm not so sure about the parachute coming out of your right ear. It looks more like it's there for symmetry with the head explosion rather than as a contribution to the piece itself.
The 'fractalized' face is pretty great though. I don't know if you're planning on colouring it, but I think that it works well just as a monochrome line drawing.
