Guided Imagery

Visualization of what we might like or desire others to see or think via our artworks turned commercial. I am a person or artist that can actually draw with an art medium. I think drawing skills are the backbone of great art!***** Many people use darkrooms, digital functions, software, projectors, light boards, cameras or other devices to produce images instead of actually drawing out a picture. I simply draw out my pictures with a ballpoint pen ink first and foremost then apply it or develop such to a commercial format later!***** My ink drawings become a visual guide or picture demonstrating my direction in life or a storyboard via the fine or commercial art worlds. That way my artworks do great in both sectors of society plus make me a better artist or illustrator. Machinery certainly will not produce masters of the fine art community. Simply go to any major art museum and see if your mediums are expectable or displayed!***** Pen and ink drawings have been a leader of the graphic or fine art worlds fore the past four thousand years! Converting those drawings to fit or work within the commercial art world plus advertising sector of society makes them that much more valuable. Diversity or meeting to days market place simply adds to our popularity or development. Making your ballpoint pen art or drawings fit the demands of our society works for me!***** Your friend, Jerry Stith

Fantastic. Super good.

Tom Berry 08 Jun 2007

I agree that the mechanism of creating 3d may not be considered art but some of us love the technical stuff.... as in being a nerd :-) I truly admire your skill in the tradition of art. And thank you for your kind comments.

Excelletent work :)

Tracci Spencer 24 Feb 2007

I love the symbolism in this. It seems at first to be a commentary on advertisement but really it is in and of itself a commentary on life and the way in which we perceive it. I am enjoying looking through all of your work, thank you for helping me find you.. : )

Steve Newport 24 Feb 2007

Great work as always Jerry.

Ho Tik 16 Feb 2007

Robin Brown 10 Feb 2007

The expression alone says so much more than words. One image from a portfolio bursting with class.

Karina Ishkhanova 28 Jan 2007

Very interesting drawing - you not only captured emotions, but associatively gave them a deeper meaning - for me this is not just an image of an old face, but image of the wisdom and "roots" that feed younger generations.

Dave Rothwell 28 Jan 2007

Hi I love your work, the colour texture and composition.

Touch the feelings. Very emotional.

Stanley Layman 01 Dec 2006

In one of the workshops I attended some years ago we were required to use a pen instead of a pencil for a drawing class. The idea was to put the line in the right place to start with, because you could not erace without damaging the drawing paper. With the frame imagery, I am curious is this for a real magazine? I like your imagery and design. Nice job!

charles hooper 30 Nov 2006

Excellent!!!! Great Job Jerry!!

jethro Nisson 29 Nov 2006

wonderful image. Do you use different pens for the shading?

Trish Ellis 28 Nov 2006

very imaginative interesting things you do with your art. I have to admit, ink is one of those fields I have yet to really venture into. Great work!

Victor Rolfe 28 Nov 2006

This is amazing! I also concur fully with what you wrote about drawing skills. I am a beginner in both art and photography but I realised very early on that developing good drawing skills would be an absolutely essential prerequisit to learning how to paint. (I'm still woking on both!!)

Alex Preiss 27 Nov 2006

Excellent portrait.

Meg Murray 26 Nov 2006

Jerry, sorry it has taken me so long to write back and add, I am just figuring out how to do everything, wow, you are so right about drawings, I have never had the skill, but as I believe in my Special Ed work, we can all train our brain, Love this one, just finished running a Pain support group for 3 years and so tried to empower art therapy

Tracey Loftis 24 Nov 2006

I couldn't agree with your commentary more Jerry. Unfortunately, most of us don't have your tallent. Wish I did! You have great skill / thanks for sharing! Thanks also for your kind comments on my recent floral posting. It means a lot to me!!

David Holcombe 23 Nov 2006

This is a great portrait on a wonderful magazine. It has all the ruts of old age. We can guess this old man is full of wisdom. Your technique is very refined and fastidious and in ball point pen no less. Happy Thanksgiving.
