You'll have to excuse our Stumpy. He hasn't had a good bowel movement in months and tries to have one online by offering his version of wry commentary.

As to classical music: the great French scientist, Louis Pasteur, is reputed to have said on his deathbed...the mileu is everything. From the standpoint of a guy who was concerned with microscopic critters, it makes sense that the environment has a great deal of influence on how they grow. One could say the same thing about artists. If your drawing board is littered with McDonald's boxes, there is a good chance that more than "the Special Sauce" will show on your artwork. If you work in a noisy environment where the Crips and the Bloods are shooting each other outside your syudio window, that environment will begin to show in your art work.

The above are coarse examples, but they serve to point out the importance of the environment on the art you produce. If you came to work at our graphic arts studio you'd be surrounded with antique furniture and oriental carpets on the floor and classical music playing softly. The work that comes out of that studio is elegant, cool and precise. While the mileu may not be everything, it certainly leaves its stamp on the work.

If you came to my painting studio, aside from being in a loft big enough to rollerblade in, you find a very different surrounding and it shows in the work -- if in no other way than the size is much larger than what we do in the graphics studio.

If I were making advertisements for the World Wrestling Federation and they were a major client, I might decorate the place with bright primary colors and have MegaDeath playing at full volume.

All of this "set's the mood," and the mood is very important to an artist, especially when you are at this important stage of your development. Trying to make the transition from the crude artistic effects of a child into those of a skilled adult is very difficult and you deserve much better advice than our resident curmudgeon is capable of presenting.

If you'd like to speak with serious artists, go over to http://studioproducts.com/forum/forum.html and announce that you are a 16 year-old artist with serious concerns about how best to proceed. I guarantee that you won't encounter the likes of Stump (he's locked out). It's a good helpful forum with lots of demonstrations and quite a number of skilled artists willing to lend a hand. It's free, you don't have to buy anything nor even register. Just show up. We'll take it from there.
