AES E-Library
A Robust and Computationally Efficient Speech/Music Discriminator
A New method for discriminating between speech and music signals is introduced. The strategy is based on the extraction of four features, whose values are combined linearly into a unique parameter. This parameter is used to distinguish between the two kinds of signals. The method has achieved an accuracy superior to 99%, even for severely degraded and noisy signals. Moreover, the low dimensionality of the feature space, together with a very simple information-merging technique, has resulted in a remarkable robustness to new situations. The low computational complexity of the method makes it appropriate for applications that demand real-time operation. Finally excellent resolution for the segmentation of audio streams is achieved by manipulating the analyzed data properly.

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
March 1937. Scott's Run, West Virginia. "Johnson family -- father unemployed." Photograph by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size.
I find this to be quite a beautiful and powerful photo. It has good composition, and many details that enhance the subject. The tattered clothes, the worn shoes (patched with rags), the runs in the stockings, the old beadboard walls with newspaper pasted on for additional insulation, the crack in the stove, a missing door knob, a broom that has been so worn that hardly any bristles remain, etc.
You can tell that they're not overly dirty, though, (aside from the threadbare clothes). The two women have nicely braided hair, clean faces/hands, and the boy appears to have a half decent pair of shoes and a nice coat/jacket.
It makes you appreciate what we take for granted today.

When You Lie Next to Me Lyrics - Kellie Coffey
Review The Song (1)
1st Verse
Maybe tonight
We could close the door and lock ourselves inside
Take time to feel
I don't want to miss the chance to be so real
The days all fly away, and I forget the truth
Everything that matters is in this room
When you lie next to me
Breathin' the air I breathe
We don't have to speak
And just be (whoa)
Our love's a precious thing
Don't wanna waste a day
Or one more minute
Without you in it
Life is so sweet
When you lie next to me
(When you lie next to me)
2nd Verse
My heart is yours
And every part of me still wants to give you more
More time to love
'Cause you never know when life will leave us
I want to take in all the beauty here, oh
Let the world around us just disappear
(Chorus Out)

INCREDIBLE SONG....BRINGS ME TO TEARS | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/21/2004
Everytime I hear this song I think of my girlfriend and I just get so emotional. It is probably the most beautiful song that I have ever heard. Kellie has an amazing voice and such a way to provoke emotion. There is no better feeling than lying in bed with the one you love and listening to this song. There have been times that I have been brought to tears. This is an incredible song.

Spyware vs. viruses: two different fights
Thursday, 26 May 2005, 6:33 PM EST
Malware, whether it be spyware, adware or viruses, has been the focus of many recent studies conducted by the media, universities and vendors. And despite their differences, the studies consistently show that anti-virus programs can achieve 100% efficacy ratings, while spyware prevention programs can only achieve about 90% efficacy.

- First time, will try againrusticfoodieDined on 11/8/2014We went for my mom's birthday and the resturant hand wrote a birthday card for her, it was a really nice touch and started the evening off right. There was a noisy group in the corner celebrating something and the noise was a bit much but it was joyful occasion. The spinach salad was really good, the onion soup was not at all. My strip steak was fantastic mom's fiance's filet was a little flavorless but well cooked. They made my mom something special which was really nice and unexpected. The scallops were slightly undercooked but they refused to send them back, not the resturant's fault, there is nothing worse than an overcooked scallop. My wifes duck bacon burgar was really tasty. They also gave my mom a free dessert. Try it out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Each visit has been worth it..thatonegirl46952Dined on 11/3/2014I will admit that I'm usually one that can find something to complain about. This place has not allowed me to do so either visit. Julie is a great server and will take great care of you and your party. I will add that the fried pepper jack cheese, red snapper, filet, salmon, crab cake, and choc cheese cake have all been fabulous! P.S. Ask for chef Michael D., he is AWESOME!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing1luckyguyDined on 10/20/2014I may be young but this place was great!!!! The best food (Steak) that I have ever had and I have had some good steak in my life. I will be coming back and can't wait to try all of you menu items. The wait staff was wonderful and all I can do is praise this place. I was a little worried at first because of the price and was hoping that it would be worth it and it was. I don't mind paying good money for a meal as long as it's worth it and when I left I felt like got my moneys worth. Thanks for a great night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Went 2 nights in a row!PieGuysDined on 10/17/2014A great non-franchise experience. Interesting decor and stonework. Relaxed atmosphere. Good food. Ribeye was superb. Attentive service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Truly spectacular in kokomoEurolauraDined on 9/30/2014I was so impressed with the food! I've traveled across the world and ate at many fine delicate restaurants and this one definitely ranks top on my list. I can't believe it's in Kokomo. A food critic needs to go there and write an article from the history of the owners to the romantic decor... The food just compliments the your experience to 5 stars. Let's keep them open by supporting their amazing restaurant! I had the mussels and I can compare them to spain!!! Definitely amazing cooked to perfection!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good foodConnieDined on 8/23/2014We were celebrating a birthday there. The steaks were cooked perfectly! A free choice of dessert was offered because of the birthday. The birthday "boy" chose the hot chocolate cake. We all tried it. It was wonderful!Special Features:
- Best (only) fine dining in KokomoMohkDined on 8/15/2014Save a trip to Indy! Excellent local establishment. We loved how every staff person was there to make our meal experience a great one. Truly a better experience than the chains.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Puts the fine in fine diningfinetimeDined on 8/6/2014The restaurant was very nice visually and everyone was very friendly. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was very tasty. It is a bit pricy but the great food made up for that. It was my wife's Birthday and they were generous enough to give our party of four a free desert. Also, they gave a personal written card wishing her a happy birthday. Very nice touch. The whole experience was really nice.Special Features:
- The following 145 reviews are from the A. Michael's reviews archive.
- Anniversary DiningspecialeventdinersDined on 7/12/2014We enjoyed our dining visit. Julie was very helpful with our order, if we didn't know what something was she helped us decide what would be best for us. The dessert was a very nice surprise for our anniversary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Finally!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/13/2014I infrequently visit family in Kokomo & am always frustrated in the lack of dining options. The choices are limited to chains or driving an hour to Indianapolis. I stumbled upon A. Michael's online & location is a little tricky. However, the menu was on par with many of my favorite seafood restaurants, which is rare in the middle of Indiana. I elected the scallops, pineapple sticky rice, & carrots. I was leery to order scallops (even though they are my favorite), knowing how easily they can go wrong. They were fabulous. My mother chose the filet with roasted potatoes, and mac & cheese. Everything was made fresh to our keen delight. The highlight of the meal was the bread pudding - the best I've ever had!Special Features:
- Best restaurant in KokomojkjfbDined on 6/11/2014I surprised my girlfriend by coming from Oklahoma to her in Kokomo. We were wanting to go out for a nice dinner before I had to drive back to Oklahoma but I didn't want to have to drive down to Indy or elsewhere before spending 13-14 hours driving the next day. We searched for places in town and came across this. From the first bite of our starter all the way through dessert we were both amazed at the taste of the food and none of the reviews can begin to oversell how great the food is from start to finish. I saw some complaints about service but had no problems. Our server, Michael, took great care of us and had some fun stories to keep us entertained. Overall I would easily recommend to anyone in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experiencejandcDined on 5/31/2014We've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad we did. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere perfect, and the food is great (especially the bread and the wine). This is the place we'll be taking our out-of-town guests from now on.Special Features:
- Not enough simple choiceskokomo2dineDined on 5/11/2014The menu lacked a dinner salad that was plain enough for a dieting person and all the entrees were very sauced Very expensive for what you got and the loud radio music was certainly not appropriate for an upscale restaurant. We made a reservation on line that they couldn't find inspite of us with a confirmation number. Disappointing!Special Features:
- Outstanding Date NightAplusDined on 5/3/2014It's about time Kokomo had a fabulous place to eat! A bit pricey, but worth every dime! You definitely get what you pay for. We will be back!!Special Features:
- Loud and lousyDatenightDined on 4/26/2014Set reservation for two at 715. Arrive at 7:05 and hostess takes us tithe bar area despite half the restaurant being empty. The bar area was extremely loud do to a class reunion group. Sat for 15 minutes before being greeted. Bar area was half full! Wanted a nice quiet dinner for my date. We laughed and said so much for that idea! We had to practically yell to talk to each other! Ordered food and salad. Twenty minutes later got main course and no salads. They apologized and brought a salad on the house. Later the waitres refilled our water and dumped half a pitcher of ice across our table.
- birthday girldedeDined on 4/26/2014I think it was very good people were nice you just could not ask for a better setting or view I believe when it gets warmer and you can sit outside and see the light it'll be beautifulSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome date night!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 4/23/2014Service was great. Ambiance was great. Not too stuffy but plenty romantic for two people who haven't had a night out for over 9 months due to a new baby. The blackened scallop appetizer and the creme brulee dessert stole the show! Support this restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- just about the best in KokomoJAMRPOIDined on 4/4/2014My wife and I have been here three times now and currently have reservations for another visit. We have tried seafood and the steaks and both were excellent. Steaks tender and cooked to order, salads excellent with dressings made on premises, crab cakes loaded with crab and very tasty, tea very flavorful to boot so what more could you ask for except cheaper prices. Even for an upscale restaurant the price was pretty competitive so I won't complain. Ambiance was pretty good too. Located on the west side in a strip mall but the place was redone and it looks great. Give it a try. I think you will like it.Special Features:
- Hidden Gem in KokomoCaribbeangirlVIPDined on 3/28/2014Wow! Been going to Kokomo at least once a year for many years and thought we were completely tied to all the chains along US 31. The food...Friday during Lent...we were tied to seafood. No problem. I had huge, meaty scallops to die for, and my husband had crab cakes with a nice corn salad on the side. The presentations were fabulous and the taste was even better. Since I had given up alcohol for Lent, I called the Pope to ask if I might try one of the wines from their extensive selection, and he granted my request :) After generous sampling supplied by the friendly bartender, I chose a wonderful Cabernet. We sat at the bar, which reminded me of the old, ornate bar-back in St. Elmo's. It was simply a perfect experience.Special Features:
- Great Evening OutpricetagDined on 3/14/2014Great food, great service. Welcoming atmosphere. Tonight's blackened snapper was moist and well seasoned, the ribeye was tender and flavorful. We are always well pleased at A. Michaels!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Super food, service needs helpenjoysfinefoodDined on 3/7/2014We had a party of 8, had made reservations - My husbands Birthday. Any server would see that as a gold mine; well, most would. Not the bartender / server we had. She rarely checked on us... we were there for nearly 75 minutes before we received our salads / appetizers, not because it took a long time to prepare, but because our orders were taken until after we had been there for over a half an hour. Same with dinner. One of the best meals in town and usually we have fantastic service. Unfortunately, this night's service didn't hold up to our expectations and usual experience. Disappointed in the lack of attention our table of 8 received, but the food was wonderful and the support servers were fantastic. We'll return for sure!Special Features:
- ImpressedAnnivdiningDined on 2/19/2014We wanted a quiet evening in a nice restaurant to celebrate our 20th wedding Anniversary. We coudn't have picked a finer place. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. This will be "our place" now.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Kokomo gem!WeskaijonerDined on 2/15/2014We went here the Saturday after Valentine's day and found it to be a great restaurant for special occasions. On a trip to New Orleans, we enjoyed many fine dining experiences and always find ourselves comparing every restaurant to the New Orleans experience. Wow, did this one measure up! It was busy but we were greeted, seated and our drink order taken almost immediately. The waiter was attentive but not smothering. From appetizer to entree to dessert it was phenomenal! The bread pudding and creme brûlée took us back to that foodie New Orleans vacation! Two thumbs way up!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Food and service has not improvedJustinKokomoDined on 2/14/2014We thought we would give A. Michael's a try since it's re-Grand Opening under it's new name and new menu. I largely selected it as our spot for my birthday dinner/valentines date spot since they are the only Kokomo that takes reservations via Open Table. I was really being optimistic that the food and service had improved since the name change from The Quarry as Kokomo is in sore need of a fine dinning establishment. Unfortunately our experience was on par with the last time we were there and swore we would not try it again. Service was terrible from the moment we arrived and the hostess tried seating us in the bar until my wife tried a bite of the failed chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

- Elegance of Indy in KokomoCtrain22Dined on 2/8/2014We have been to this restaurant twice, and have thoroughly enjoyed our experience both times. The food is fresh, of superior quality, and prepared to order. My wife and I have dined at many of the fine dining establishments of Indianapolis, and a extremely pleased that Kokomo now has one of its own. Whether you are looking for the perfect paring of fresh Salmon with house made Hoisin sauce or quite possibly the best Filet of Beef I have ever had, this restaurant will deliver.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- enjoyable nightpfjeniusDined on 1/24/2014The food is better than most in town. It's a bit expensive but the great service and no whining kids more than made up for that with me. Could enjoy a conversation with my wife without TVs buzzing in the background (hard to find anymore).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too expensive place for KokomoKhemmoroVIPDined on 1/13/2014Prices like Ruth Chris with not a good service or even good food. It used be a different Resturant we tried before which was also not that good. Sever was slow for a Resturant with only 3 tables. I can not recommend this place.
- Nice spotchefscottDined on 1/10/2014This was our second time dining at A Michael's. This time was for my wife's birthday. The menu selection is good (not too many choices and not too few), the staff was well trained and friendly, The food was well prepared and plated nicely with good flavor pairings. Nice wine selection and a decent selection of draft beers. It was also a welcome change to have in house prepared desserts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Finest in KokomoDiningDivaDined on 12/31/2013This is the finest dining establishment in Howard and surrounding counties. This is the place to celebrate special occasions or to stop in for a cocktail in the evening. The ambience is classy and inviting. The Shrimp Cocktail, Filet Mignon, Crab Cakes, Blackened Snapper & Creme Brûlée are some of my favorite menu items. I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- NYEbethGDined on 12/31/2013This was our 2nd visit, celebrating NYE this time. We were able to get a fairly last minute reservation (day before) and were seated within a few minutes of our arrival. Service started off a bit slow but there were several large parties and the restaurant was full. Once the bigger groups started clearing out, service got much better. Food was fantastic but I was a little disappointed the bar didn't have Hendrick's gin on hand to make my French 75. At first I was told they couldn't even make a French 75 since they didn't have Hendrick's until I told the waiter "it can be made with any gin, I just prefer Hendrick's". They made up for it by carrying Johnnie Walker Blue for my husband. Overall, a great experience. We'll be back.Special Features:
- Great customer service from managemTigerDined on 12/31/2013Our server did a very good job considering it was New Years Eve and the place was very busy. My wife was very disappointed in the ribeye steak that she ordered it was not cooked correctly and very fatty,greasy and with grissel. the good news was when it was brought to our servers attention she had the manager on duty come over to our table to take care of it.this type customer service is appreciated and will definitely cause us to return to have at least one more meal. My New York Strip was cooked to order but not the best quality for the money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy New Year!JessicaDined on 12/31/2013What a delightful New Year's Eve experience! Beautiful atmosphere and delicious cuisine. A bit on the pricey side, but for the special occasions that call for much more than a chain experience can offer, pay the extra and go to A. Michaels. It's worth it. Steaks that surpass high-end Indianapolis restaurants, beautiful interior, and a perfect setting for celebrating something special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- True fine dining in KokomoFinedinerDined on 12/28/2013I was impressed with the menu right off the bat. The nights selections where some of my favorites. I had sea Scallops with wild mushroom risotto. The scallops were amazing and cooked perfectly. I frequently dine at some if the top restaurants in Indy and Carmel and am often disappointed. A. Michaels was everything I had hoped and more. I would highly recommend the braised short rib butternut squash ravioli. Amazing! Every thing was made from scratch and it tasted like it. My wife and I will be staying in Kokomo for date night. If you are a foodie. No place in Kokomo line it.Special Features:
- Great romantic dinnerRDK122912Dined on 12/27/2013We tried this restaurant for our romantic 1st anniversary dinner. It was the perfect pick. The dinner, atmosphere, and service was outstanding. As soon as they seated us the server gave us a card wishing us a happy anniversary and after dinner gave us dessert of our choice on the house and again congratulated us on our anniversary. This place is outstanding and we will definitely make the 3 hour drive from Ohio to Kokomo again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Dreams do come true: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix headed to the States
posted: 2/26/2013 9:27:00 AM
It is official! the one game that I
hoped and prayed
would be brought to the U.S. has been officially announced as launching here in the fall:
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix
for the PlayStation 3!
I, for one, was absolutely ecstatic when the game was announced overseas and it absolutely made my week to finally have it confirmed for our region. The title isn't just an upgrade to the classic PS2 RPG, but a compilation of HD upgrades of the Final Mix version of the original game, the DS Chain of Memories title, and a cinematic retelling of the events of 358/2 Days.
If you have never played the series, you are definitely missing out. This is an incredible action-RPG with an amazing storyline and the most memorable cast of characters you can imagine. Time to clear the schedule this fall...

For my 1st one I picked The Angel Succoring Hagar by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Man, I don't even see how anybody can do one of these in an hour - I took 2 before it started to look halfway decent, and I know it still has a ways to go. I kinda killed my time right at the beginning though - 1st by not measuring anything and then by using stupid pastel brushes that I hardly know how to use yet. Probably spent the 1st hour fixing those mistakes. How extensively should we be measuring these? I was in a kind of panic, feeling the pressure of the ticking clock and so I just eyeballed everything. Mistake!
I chose Tiepolo because I love the way he did the figures - so expressive and powerful. He used 3 focal areas denoted by strong value contrasts - 1st the woman, then the wounded child, and then the angel. I notice the emphasis, rather oddly, seems to be on their chests more than their faces though - probably as the location of the soul or the heart. Makes sense since it's such a powerfully emotional painting.
I also noticed I have a tendency to make the positive shapes - especially figures - too big! Need to get that under control.

Great start buddy! That is one difficult painting to start with, respect for jumping in at the deep end
Don't worry about making stuff bigger, think it's natural, I do it too. Being aware of it will help you work on scale.
Thanks Bri. Yeah, somehow I failed to notice how complex the painting was. When I think composition I tend to think multi-figure. It's the second time I've attempted Tiepolo, and both times I came away with immense respect for his skills. I think toward the end of this I'm gonna try another one to see if I can handle it better.
Everything went much better today - started by quartering off the image to find the center and doing a line sketch (which was way too big at first). Kept fixing that until it looked right, then it was a pretty easy matter to start painting in the values. Lol, went with a much simpler composition than the Tiepolo this time too!
It's a Kent Williams painting that I admire for the bold handling and aggressive painterly work, though he was still able to capture the sitter's personality quite well. There's a single strong emphasis on her face, the darkest dark (eye hollows) right under the lightest light of her bangs, and the entire head is painted much more completely and subtlely than everything else. The rest of the comp is kept very economical and simple for contrast.
Spent another hour and fixed it up much better. Still a few things I can see, but you gotta move on at some point, right?

Rubens was so good at getting personality into his portraits! Like his daughter, so clear-eyed and impish. He used a very circular rhythm here surrounding the face - you can see it in the hair, the little wrinkles in her coat, the brushstrokes in the background. All the emphasis is on here face, with a little extra oomph on her left eye (viewers right) because it's catching the light better than the other one. This was 45 minutes - I might go back in for a while and see how much closer I can get it - mine doesn't look like she's smiling yet.
Ok, 1 hr. 15 mins...

Hi there, looking good! Your values are getting close (especially on the blonde lady). You might want to spend a little more time at the beginning drawing out the faces and mapping the locations of the features - that seems to be the weakest point of these. Study the shape and proportions of the head and how to construct it, and that will make the portraits easier.
Hey thanks Dahlia!! I know, even though I have started sketching n bodies and carefully checking proportions on them, I still leave the faces and just paint blind on them. I think especially on portraits I should sketch in the forms of the face and the features - could have avoided making the little girl's eyes so cartoonishly big.
Hi Darkstrider. In #1 and #3 You are not going as dark as the originals in the darkest darks. Do you see it? I color picked #3 and compared the percentages of the darkest parts between yours and the original in the HSB color work-space. The original falls in the 2-5% range in the darkest parts and yours falls in the 11-15% range. You are pretty accurate in your mid-light range, though.
Keep at it. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!
Yeah, I definitely see it. I do tend to shy away from black - not sure why that is. I was even kind of somewhat aware it wasn't dark enough as I was doing it. Thanks for pointing it out.
Doing really great with general shapes and values (but yeah you can go darker). I think you can start thinking more about edges.
I'd go back on the Rubens and play with a low (60-70%) opacity brush and blend some of the skin. Also bring in a hard edged brush and see if you can clean up some major areas -- I'd play on top of the one you already have to see what it feels like then see if you can implement that in your next study.
Also, RE: faces. Don't think of them as faces. They are just lights and darks next to each other like anything else. It's hard for us to stop seeing "eye" "nose", but when you just see "darker gray next to 5% lighter gray" it'll be easier to reproduce it.
I also like to use my fingers to roughly measure the distances between things in the original and my reproduction, either from each other or from the edge of the canvas.

Oh I agree, if I had more time I could do all that stuff. I'm pushing now to get under the hour time limit (still 15 minutes over). I've been playing with these pastel brushes to see what they can do, and they just don't offer the same hard/soft edge options the regular round brushes do, so even as I learn what they're good for, they hamper me in other ways. I think after I get used to them and figure out when in the process I should use them - then hopefully I'll speed up some more. I also need to find the balance of how detailed to get. I think I might be going for too much detail. Adding the eyelids in the Rubens was probably going too far.
This one stands at 40 minutes right now, but I think it needs some more love. I wanted to work on some landscape for a while, and I love Jeff Jones' landscapes! Turned out to be difficult because he was influenced by impressionism here and made lots and lots of tiny little marks all over. I also felt like I needed to start by painting each area extra dark and then going over it semi-transparently with a lighter value to get the effect he did.
A very unusual composition with the massive rounded rectangular form of the cliff dominating most of the image and the dark gorge creating a powerful counterpoint and very dark note. He used a lot of lines and implied lines (continuity) sweeping down over the rounded edge into the gorge and I feel like the trees are symbols of humanity at the edge of a precipice - maybe the natural force of erosion represents the relentless march of time that takes us all and the gorge is the waiting abyss of eternity.
Suddenly it's very clear I need to adjust the shape of the cliff - how did I not notice it before? I also feel the need to tap in a lot more fiddly little impressionist marks all over.. brb
Another 20 minutes makes a big difference.. here it as @ 1 hr.
I was liking this one so much, and saw it needed some more TLC and it could look really good, that I decided to give it another hour.

I love the serene tranquility in this piece by Rossetti. What stands out to me composition-wise are the rhythms - in the hair, the bunched wrinkles in her clothes, the shapes of light puncturing through the foliage behind her - all surrounding her pale face with the penetrating yet faraway eyes. And her long slim hands fidgeting with her necklaces also point toward her face as well.
I'm trying to work out a better approach, but it still took me an hour and a half before it was looking halfway decent. I probably should get better at doing the construction to begin with - could cut out a lot of time right there.

The jeff jones is sooooo close. Great work. The one thing i noticed is the feeling of wind that jones gets...notice the slant of the trees. yours are a little more upright. Feel is super important to paintings like this...it's kind of an abstract thing to think about, but try to feel the wind in jones piece. it's there.
also, your mapping phase is in need of more time and careful measuring prior to moving into values and edges. If you slow down and double check all of your positive and negative shapes, triple check them too, then you will find that the rest of the painting comes along sooooo much more quickly. If you have to spend twice or three times as much time mapping it out, do so. The rest will go much quicker if you do.
Thanks Jason. Lol yeah, I noticed I did completely fail on the drawing for the Rossetti one! Unfortunately I didn't notice until later in the process and had to laboriously fix it. Should have checked more carefully. But today I started doing drawing exercises on the tablet using control+paint techniques, and my drawing is already improving. Also found the pen pressure brushes - wow, so much nicer to draw with!
I did notice the wind effect toward the end of that painting, and I bent the trees to try to match, but not enough. I really wasn't thinking of it as wind though, that's a really good way to look at it, and adds another very evocative element to a landscape painting. Jones said when he'd paint he was always feeling things, and I think I should try to do the same on these.
sweet. I look forward to the next update then.
keep it up!
Don't know the name of this one offhand sorry, but it's Jeff Jones again. One of my favorite painters. What really strikes me composition-wise is the continuity - implied lines where the drapery seems to disappear but at the same time continues into the swirl of background mist. Spent a lot more time on the drawing on this one and it really helped. Unfortunately I had done several full color studies today as well and forgot these were supposed to be in black and white, so at the last second I threw a saturation layer over it and greyed it out. D'Oh! Might have gone faster working in b&w.
Really great improvement. Try hardening up the edges around the body, wings, scythe, and the shadow where the body parts overlap.
Every artist was first an amateur. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thanks, good observation. I did a little of that last night after posting, and then a little more today. Jones really does seem to play around with hard vs soft edges a lot.
(Man, he still doesn't look bright enough - I always notice that when I'm posting and looking at the tiny little thumbnail - gotta fix that!)

Hey Darkstrider, great work so far. One thing I've noticed about your last piece: You nailed the darkest values in his right wing, but seem to have missed his hair and a few of the other darkest darks. They should be at about the same level if you compare to the original. If you darken them down, your problem of him not looking bright enough might improve just by the contrast. To my eye, the values in his body and the drapery are pretty well chosen, I think it's the missing darks that keep him from appearing as bright. The scythe, the rock (?) in the background, his left wing, and his hair are where I notice this.
Great improvement so far between this and your first studies! Keep it up.
Nice catch Dyslecix. In fact now that you pointed it out, I'm starting to wonder I have a little trouble along the right edges of shapes because I'm right handed, so I can easily see the leading edge of a drawing implement as I work but the right edge is hidden away behind my hand, so those edges tend to be kind of poorly done. Something to keep in mind anyway.
Today's 1st - hoping to get in another one yet tonight..
Took 40 mins to work out the drawing - showing the process a bit. Then at an hour & 2 hrs:
EDIT - decided to work those edges a bit more. 3 hrs:
Lautrec used both continuity and variety - lots of little hatching marks (which make his oil paintings look like pastel drawings -something I like a lot) either point at the figure or form implied lines that do, or in some cases surround her while also implying pattern and form in the cloth.

Nice work my man, the last two are rocking You'll have twenty done in no time, keep it up!
Have they made the Jeff Jones documentary yet? I remember seeing a few clips on youtube and it looked fascinating, top artist.
Oh yeah, the documentary has been released! I got the digital download available here - tried and tested, and it's totally legit. Excellent fast download, comes through in 720p, and the movie itself is fantastic. Still doesn't seem to be a DVD available though.
great job. the only thing that's really sticking out to me is the angle of the hand as its affecting the feel of the gesture. for the quick studies this is rocking though. keep up the great work.
D'oh!! The hand!! How could I have missed that!!?? You're right - it really does detract from the gesture.
Ashess has inspired me to go ahead and post my latest even though it's not done yet - here's an in-progress report at various stages along the way..
Tackling another Tiepolo (one of the sons this time - Giovanni Battista, I think my 1st thumbnail was the father Giambatista). I tried copying one of their drawings in the past and was broken down and humbled by the deceptive complexity - it looks pretty simple but it turns out just about every form is drawn at a strange difficult angle with weird subtleties that you don't notice until you try to reproduce them yourself. Lol - I don't know if I've just developed a subconscious mental block making me feel that way or if these Tiepolos really are as damnably difficult as I think they are! But either way, this one is straining my abilities to the utmost once again.
This time I decided to try a technique for accurate measuring/drawing called the Envelope that I discovered in a book by Anthony Ryder. I used a pair of calipers right against the monitor to measure certain key points that envelope the main character, and those lines incidentally also gave me lots of information on where to place parts of secondary characters too.
At this point I think I really screwed up - I started out using a chalk brush!! It can make some really nice textures, but it's the kind of thing I should be using toward the end rather than at the beginning! It took me the better part of half an hour to basically re-do everything after this, using hard and soft round brushes for better control this time. And in fact even now I'm still finding fuzzy chalk brush edges I need to repair. Ok, enough commentary - I'll just let the rest of the images speak for themselves..
Ok, a little more commentary - I'm finding I didn't measure or construct the drapery enough at all. I guess I just saw it as a swirling mass of randomness and drew accordingly. And now it's way off all over the place. Its gonna take me a while to fix all the problems with it. Let this be a lesson kids - don't overlook anything in the measuring process!
Last edited by Darkstrider; March 11th, 2014 at 06:31 PM.
Good job so far Mike! Calipers on the monitor screen? Now that's dedication! Have you tried using the square marquee tool for measuring? Assuming you're using photoshop of course.
Lol no, but I can see what a great idea that is!! You can triangulate a point exactly rather than needing to take a vertical and horizontal measurement to find a point. I was trying to use techniques that could also be used traditionally, but I think I'll try the square marquee instead for a while. Thanks a million!!
aah. thanks for sharing. that envelope method looks awesome!
and yeah, I'd stay away from the textures and whatnot until you've got all the basic values right at least it looks great though gonna try that Tiepolo guy sometime. odd that I dont remember seeing his work before.
>>SKETCHBOOK. you'll visit me. I'll visit you, we'll have a tea party. with arts and shit. it'll be dreamy. stop by.
>>mah tumbr
nice work. this is right on track. just keep at it. keep an eye on all proportions especially. for example, it looks like you made the female's head just a little large. really focus on being as accurate as you can and keep up the great work.
Alright, here it is at 5 hours - I took your advice and smallified the head a bit (looks like not quite enough yet). Just taking a breather and stretching my legs a bit before I go back in - hopefully to finish it this time. I don't know though - I still have 3 hands, 3 of those weird Tiepolo feet, and a head (partial) to do, plus a little more drapery and just tighten up some detailing all over. It might run closer to 7 hours than 6, but we'll see. Man, every time I post one of these I see so many more things that need fixing.
Ok, back to it…

A little about me...
I am enthusiastic about finding a boyfriend and making new friends. I consider this website a tool in this process and determined to make this work. I feel I have a lot to offer the right person and am willing to give this a try. I would prefer hearing from men who know how to communicate and have a PICTURE. It is very hard to hold a conversation with a faceless person...would you not agree? Also, flirts are nice but I would encourage you to send me an actual message. Let's get the ball rolling in a way that breaks the ice. Also, being that I look younger, feel younger and have the energy of a younger woman, I have no problem dating a younger man (48-59 yoa) as well. Enjoy a health mix of an active social life and spending time at home. Have a good sense of humor!!!!!
About the one I'm looking for...
Looking for an easy going (with passion) guy that has a sense of humor (solves problems), must be a communicator, open minded to new ideas and looking for companionship. Oh yes....must like dogs and children! Would like to find someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and nice looking doesn't hurt either!
I'd just like to add...
I am a true believer in open communication. I play no games! I am down to earth, bubbly and friendly. I like to keep active so I am looking for someone who likes to go places and socialize. I like surprises so if you were to ask me out....surprise me as to where we are going...I would love that! I come from a large city in upstate New York and at times miss the East Coast. A great night out to me would be enjoying a great movie and having a nice dinner, seeing a great music concert, watching you fix things (I like a man with power tools), or how about going to a football game! Surprise me!!!

Covers, Titles, and Tables"One of the most
efficient ways to become acquainted with the dramatic changes in how
'American literature' is conceived, packaged and delivered is to browse
through examples of titles, covers, and tables of contents reproduced
from significant anthologies and histories. Even glancing at a few
contents pages can raise fundamental questions, not only about the
gender, race, class, and age representations of 'America,' but also
about institutional and disciplinary changes." So Professor Ken Roemer

it possible to peruse all in one place these examples of American

November 29, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Pitched political battles in a Nye County community are moving to the ballot box.
Voters will decide in November whether or not the elected Pahrump Town Board should be abolished and replaced with an appointed advisory board with limited authority.
This week the Nye County Commission unanimously approved putting the measure on the ballot.
The move comes amid fighting between the town board and county commission over budgets and responsibilities.
A month ago, a local Republican party official also led a failed attempt to arrest town board members in a dispute over a town incorporation ordinance.
Town Board Chairwoman Vicky Parker doesn't think voters will replace the board with an advisory body that could do little more than make recommendations to the county commission.

Annotation: The Black family has a few issues to work out. The father, James, is finally ready to put his player days behind him and settle down, but his lover is the same age as his daughter, Jamie, who has problems of her own, as she tries to discover the mystery woman who has been stalking her man. Meanwhile, James's son Darnel catches his fiance in bed with his best friend, Omar, and he finds himself in jail after exacting a brutal vengeance.

City Controller's Audit Plan, FY 2007Wednesday, August 30th, 2006
Controller Anise Parker has posted the Fiscal Year 2007 audit plans on the city's website. Notably missing from the list is any operations of the Housing and Community Development Department, which have proved to be so embarassing in the past, despite the evidence that little has changed. (Item #40)
Just as an aside, you know things are bad when the Federal Government thinks you're wasting their money and starts cutting back on the money flow.
The City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department has decided to delay issuance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Neighborhood Facilities Renovation. The reason for this delay is that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has reduced the City's Community Development Block Grant allocation by $3,630,000 for Fiscal Year 2006 (July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2007). The Department does plan to issue the RFP in December 2006 for funding in Fiscal Year 2007 (July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008).
One would think that maybe the $750,000 in city funds that went to
propping up Metro's ridership figures buying bus passes for city employees would be audited, or LARA would be checked over, or maybe even someone would follow up to see if HOH has reimbursed HUD — but then again, the city would rather spend $200k and try to get out of it entirely (see item #48), so why bother?
What Ms. Parker auditing in FY 2007? A whole lot of "safe" things:
- Some Aviation Dept construction contracts
- HFD's fleet maintenance
- City - wide Purchase Card activity (Well, that was fun over at TSU, so who knows what we'll find here?
- PW&E's Landscaping and Beautification projects
- Vehicle Maintenance: Did you change the oil?
Exciting stuff, eh? Certainly nothing that's going to cause problems for the mayor or the folks lined up at the trough labeled "Houston Development." Well, there are three items on the list which might prove interesting:
- Taser Acquisition, Distribution, & Use. I'm not holding my breath on that one; as most of the criticisms of the idea have to do with law enforcement issues, not cost effectiveness.
- Long-Term Contract Relationships: An examination of whether the city is really saving money by skimping on hiring employees and contracting out jobs instead. Of course I would be interested in that.
- Parking, Car Rentals, and Hotel Concession: Checking up behind the entertainment industry in this city to make sure they've remitted the taxes like they should have. Hmmmmm… see item #19.
There's more; you may want to check it out, but my read of this is that in an election year (most of these will complete in the first half of 2007), Controller Parker isn't going to risk causing any problems for Mayor White's last re-election bid.

Agree with #1..long, but a very good read.FTA: ~~"My family is like so many others across the entire state of Texas. We are multicultural. We're Anglo. We're Irish. We're Hispanic," he says in San Antonio. "But we're all one family. Well, the blending of cultures in the Lone Star State works. We are one people. We are all Texans. And we unite on the common ground of faith, of family, and of freedom."~~Also love that last ´traffic story´ on page 3 in the article!

Anglo? Why are these racists saying all european-americans are English? That´s news to me. Of course, calling Mexicans "hispanic" when they don;t have a drop of Spaniard blood, or calling them "Latino" when they´ve never been withing 2,000 years of Latin, it´s not surprising they´re ignorant racists.

#3, I assume you were being facetious, but aren´t Hispanics/Latinos (in the spirit of Latin America)/Mexicans categorized as Caucasian? My understanding is that the anthropological breakdown of human race is Caucasian, Mongolian and Negroid.

Chattanooga police's bomb unit found a suspicious package to be empty after a customer reported that the package was leaning against one of the gas pumps, said Janice Atkinson, public information officer for Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
Roads were closed just before 1 p.m. after the bomb unit arrived "until the Bomb Squad can render it safe," said Chattanooga police Public Information Officer Tim McFarland. The city's bomb unit was called to assist the sheriff's office.
The owner of the convenient store, The Market, 5010 Hunter Road, contacted authorities when he was notified of the package.
