When I started my blog last year, and entitled it "Mike's Drumbeats", I had this image in mind for a "logo".
It's a photo that I submitted to my Fine Arts photography course in college--I wanted a silhouette image of a guy playing a drum set, and I set up so the light would reflect off the cymbals. Essentially, I took several pictures and got the one that I wanted--a little mysterious, it's kind of a challenge to tell what is going on...
My entire class, as well as the teacher, hated this picture. I think I got a B or a C on it, and everyone else got an A. They contorted their face, turned their heads sideways, crossed their eyes, and then declared it very difficult to understand. I think the top grade in the class went to a girl who dressed up all Goth-ed out and took a self-portrait laying on a grave with her own name with a rose across her breast. At that point, I realized I would never be artistic.
But I may change the blog image to this one--I found it in the attic when I was putting 12 boxes of Christmas decorations (took a little while to cram in the 10 Lords a Leapin').

well, dude, speaking as an artist myself, i can tell you that art is subjective. i, personally, like the photo that you took and thought it was much more deserving of an A. screw what they think!!!
Hi J--
How're things in NYC?
Thanks a lot for dropping by, and for responding to my shameless pandering for approval :)
Of course, I really like this one, too--Isn't it funny how when you first learn about art the people who draw inside the lines are considered the most artistic?
I'm going to check your blog out more--I think I linked from Michelle's blog before...
Mike
