  1. This is brilliant! Lovely!
  2. You're welcome!

    ...Let's see some uploads in the Gallery then! :)

  3. Hello! Welcome to the artfreaks.com Forums, Gallery and Blog Spot! I'm afraid there aren't actually that many active members here right now. These forums seem to get a fair amount of visitors but there isn't really much of an active membership just yet... Anyway, with a few more eager participants like yourself, we will hopefully soon have ourselves an "awesome little forum," before too long. And you will be one of the pioneering members!! I'm looking forward to seeing some of your art in the Gallery!
  4. Sculptures that you can print off - so you can order prints online Ever wondered how or where you can get high quality prints of images of your sculpture? (You might want these for your portfolio - or you might want to sell artistic photography images of your work...) Provided you have access to a decent, high resolution digital camera - and a premium membership at ArtWanted.com - you can upload high definition images of artworks of all kinds. You can then use the Artwanted.com print on demand service to order high quality prints of your work. You can also sell the sculpture itself through ArtWanted.com but, of course; if you want to keep the original, you can stick to selling high quality "print-on-demand" images!
  5. The Busted Lift sounds good to me! So what is wrong with the lift, then? Can't they get it fixed?!! Seriously... Guiness is one of my top three favorite beers in the world. The other two are San Miguel Beer (the Pale Pilsen of course!! ) and Suntory Malts. (Suntory also make a malt whisky which isn't bad either - but the malt beer really brings back some fond memories of Kobe!) Here's to some great nights out in Dubuque! Cheers!
  6. Hi! Welcome to artfreaks.com!

  7. Hello! Welcome to artfreaks.com! First of all, for private sales, you could set up one or more albums here at artfreaks.com and upload images of all your artworks that are for sale. Use the image description field to list your prices and whatever contact info you may wish to advertise. If you need any help with setting-up your albums or uploading images, just drop me a line and I will be more than willing to give you some guidance. (Click on "smb" to get my profile page and then click on "Send Message" to send me a "PM") artfreaks.com does not involve itself in any deals you may make with a private buyer. These are entirely up to you. The only thing I would advise, though, is that you at least get a substantial down payment from the buyer before dispatching any of your work! ....... Now, if you would prefer to let someone else take care of billing, payments and shipping, you might like to give ArtWanted.com a try... You can get a free account with them, just to try things out - but you would need to sign-up for a "Premium Account" before you could make use of their services for selling your art online. One good thing with Artwanted.com is that if you want to keep any originals of your artworks, you can upload high definition images of these and let them sell high-quality prints of your work for you. They take care of all the details like billing the buyer, printing, packing, shipping etc. Obviously, this is also great for photographers who want to sell prints of their work.

    Flooding in Dubai

    I received this one by e-mail from my good friend, Mr. John Gormon-Charlton. The caption read: "A few spots of rain in Dubai ..... ....... but they are building it so fast - I think they may have omitted to include a drainage system! Pic attached taken in Dubai UAE this morning Wednesday 16/1/08!"
  9. A Difficult Day An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight. His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed. As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him: "What time of night is this, to be getting home? Where have you been?" "Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it." And on and on and on... Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he went off and poured himself a large whisky and headed for a long hot soak in the bath - being pursued by predictable sarcastic remarks, as he dragged himself up the stairs. While he was in the bath, the phone rang. His wife answered it and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged that night. Finally realizing what a terrible day her husband must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news. As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet. "They're not hanging Wright tonight," she said. To which he whirled around and screamed: "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?!!!"
  10. Baby's First Check-up at the Doctor's A woman and a baby were in the doctor's surgery, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first ever check-up. The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed? "Breast-fed," the woman replied. "Well, strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered. The woman obeyed. The Doctor pinched her nipples; then pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while - giving the woman a very professional and thorough examination. Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said; "No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk." "I know," said the woman, "I'm his Grandma... But I'm glad I came!"
  11. This photo was taken some time in 2005 - during the time when Lito Atienza was the Mayor of the City of Manila; in Metro Manila, Philippines. In those day's the Manila Baywalk was a thriving, lively and safe place for both locals and tourists to visit on any evening of the week. Then, you could enjoy some fine seafood, barbeque, Filipino foods and other cuisines from around the world; whilst enjoying the famous Manila Bay sunset. As the evening wore on, there was always a plethora of live bands and comedy acts to keep you entertained... Last time I visited the place, it was like a ghost town - and I would certainly no longer feel safe walking along the Bay after dark. What happened to the Manila Baywalk? Ask the current incumbant of City Hall, (as of time of writing, in January, 2008); Mayor Alfredo Lim.
