showing off
On my old Typepad site, I used to do this “lowart” bit where I would occasionally create a picture in MS Paint (yes, PAINT) to illustrate a point. Look, I didn’t have a digital camera, I had to make do! I haven’t heard any teeming requests for those images to be brought over to the new site, so I haven’t bothered. However, with so many ardent and repeated inquiries for a picture of my engagement ring, it seemed time to bust out my trusty crayons and pencils. Enjoy.
Oh, and for shits and giggles, the old Lowart Series: (1) (2) (3) (4)

Woah. You are extremely proficient in MS Paint. Brava!
And your ring, as I suspect you already know, is gorgeous.

How did you manage to make the computer screen in picture 4 look so remarkably lifelike? And by lifelike I mean resemble MS Paint so closely?
I used to enjoy those images on your old site.

You know, at first glance I thought it was one of them new-style cock rings :)

Jaya - I can't believe I am admitting this but I believe I shrunk a screen shot of what I was doing into the image, while Alex looked on next to me, shaking his head in terrified disbelief.

Stunning!

Your grasp on perspective puts me to shame. Somebody should go out and buy you a real illustration program. Like Adobe Illustrator and a mac.

You? NO WAY.
I've been begging Alex for photoshop for eons now, but he says he'll never see me again.

your skin's looking a little... gray, dear. take two pounds of shrimp cocktail and call me in the morning.
actually, like cate, my first impression was that it was something vaguely dirty. (unlike my imagination, which is absolutely filthy.)

Sometimes, it's like hubs is the only one who pays attention around here... scary, huh? :)
