Why This Website is Named 'Drawblinky'

I have been interested in art ever since I can remember. As a young child, I couldn't wait for the weekly TV GUIDE to arrive at out house. You may wonder what importance the TV GUIDE has to someone interested in art...Well, the TV GUIDE back then used to conain an ad by an art correspondence school. In the ad, there was a line drawing of a deer named 'Blinky.' According to the ad, if you drew Blinky and sent in your drawing, the school would evaulate it and tell you if you had a future as an artist. I sent in several drawings but never received an answer. I was devastad and gave up drawing for a long time. A few decades. Later, after I had become a computer geek, I realized that the computer was the medium for me. My creative interests as well as my interest in art was rekindled. But, it almost ended prematurely because of "Blinky."

The Artwork of Anthony J. Caruso

Artist

I am an artist and a digital artist. I love the creative process and as I get older, my need to be creative increases. Being an artist and a digital artist is my second career. My long-standing interest in art transformed into an activity over 15 years ago and continued to grow after I retired as a college professor and scientist. I can honestly say that my art is a 24-7-365 passion. In fact, I cannot imagine a day going by without spending time in my studio, creating, designing, and trying new techniques. I have spent countless hours working to develop my skills. I have a broad perspective on art. My art includes landscapes, portraits, still life and other realistic elements as well as scenes from my imagination.

As a digital artist, my medium is the computer. I am self-taught and learned techniques from reading tutorials, magazines, journals and books. I have had to learn about things that all artists need to learn, e.g., perspective and light. In addition, I have had to learn to use software and hardware to create and edit my art. It has taken me several years to learn what I needed to know. The learning continues today, as I develop new styles and techniques. And, the hardware and the software are evolving so I spend as much of my time learning about updates for these programs and peripheral devices as I do on art itself.

My Inspiration

I am often asked where I get my ideas for a painting. Well, as an artist, I like to think that anything I see will serve as an inspiration. Clearly, I have found that to be true with landscapes and to a lesser extent still lifes. In addition to what I see is what is in my head. I don't know where these thoughts come from and I have jokingly attributed them to random neural firing. What else could explain why I painted 2 hands reaching for a syringe or a grave site visitor dressed in lingerie or pyschedelic mushrooms? Sometimes, I see the blank canvas (or screen) and then the next thing I remember is looking at the finished paintiing. I don't remember any thing else! These are just a few of the processes I go through as I begin a new painting. I wish I understood these more and could write about them more clearly.
