Hello fellow artists,

Have some fun with an old photo of yourself. Picture yourself as a giraffe, leaf, flower, monster, a person of another race or sex, as a movie star, 2,000 years old, an angel -- whatever you can think of. Work in your favorite medium. What would you look like? Here are two of me, with the help of Photoshop:

Hello fellow artists,

I love to surprise myself in the morning with new artwork, so I often start a painting or begin working on a photo late in the day, leaving it to be finished the next morning. With fresh eyes, I can easily see what needs to be done to complete the work.

Hello fellow artists,

Over the last few months I've run across some really creative and fun websites that let you doodle and be creative. Here are a few:

-- By now you've probably heard of YouTube, where you can post your own videos -- and see those of others made around the world. It's an amazing collection.
--Draw a picture on Sketch Swap. Submit it and get someone else's drawing back!
-- Imagination Cubed has drawing tools, colors, shapes, type. You can invite a friend to draw with you and then email your drawing.
-- For lessons, forums and your own drawing space, check out Drawspace.com
-- Stereotypes lets you create your own photo from a series of photos on the screen.
--Make a painting like Jackson Pollock.
