EXPLANATION OF THIS WEBSITE
| HI. THIS ENTIRE WEBSITE, WAS DESIGNED, AND CONSTRUCTED BY ME, CARL MONTEIRO. I USED MANY PROGRAMS TO GET THIS DONE, INCLUDING ADOBE 6.0 PHOTOSHOP, FLASH 8 PROFESSIONAL AND YAHOO SITEBUILDER ( 2.6 ). ALL OF THE ARTWORK IS " REAL ". THAT IS REAL PENCIL DRAWINGS, PAINTINGS, ETC. THE REASON YOU MIGHT SEE AN IMAGE THAT IS MUCH LIKE ANOTHER, IS BECAUSE, I HAVE USED THE SOFTWARE TO SLIGHTLY CHANGE IT'S APPEARANCE. TO GET THESE " PIECES OF ARTWORK ", ON THE WEBSITE, I HAVE MANY " TOOLS ", VARIOUS CAMERAS, SCANNER, ETC. UNFORTUNATELY, ALL OF THEM ARE DIGITAL, ( RASTERIZED ), WHEREAS, I TRIED TO USE A 35 MM CAMERA, BUT PROBLEMS KEPT DEVELOPING. |
| I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DRAW FROM LIFE, AS MANY WILL ATTEST, WATCHING ME. SOME OF THESE DRAWINGS, AND PAINTINGS, ARE DRAWN, AND PAINTED USING PHOTOS AS REFERENCE. SOME MAY LOOK DOWN ON THIS ,BUT REMEMBER, I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, WHEN I DID MOST OF THESE, SO, WHERE WAS I ABLE TO GET THESE PEOPLE, OR ANIMALS TO POSE FOR ME? BESIDES, I HAD A SMALL BUDGET. |
| P.S. - AN INTERESTING FEATURE HERE IS THAT, IN THE PAST, ONE HAD TO GO TO A MUSEUM, TO SEE ARTWORK. WITH THIS WEBSITE, ANYONE WHO HAS A COMPUTER, CAN HAVE, "KIND OF", A LITTLE GALLERY OF THEIR OWN, ANYWHERE THEIR COMPUTER IS, INTERNATIONALLY. |
