Buffy Sainte-Marie Quotes (26 Quotes)


    Digital imaging allows both groups to rise above the limitations of mess and clutter and mechanics, and apply our talents to creating images limited only by our imaginations.

    The paintings are transferred from my computer to a disk, and I can hand it to the printer this way; or I can modem the painting to the printer over the phone lines from my house in Hawaii.


    My first Macintosh was a 128k machine which I upgraded to 512k the minute it became possible.

    I believe that people do want to know each other. I think it's always about the deep longing for respect.


    Another attraction is the relationship between photography and painting. In an artist's mind these elements have always been able to merge.

    Another time factor is output: proofing and printing. That is, getting your work out of the computer and onto paper and having it satisfy you. It can be time consuming and expensive.

    That is, an artist who creates lots of work probably experiences prolific days and slower days.

    The artistic process in digital art is very much the same as for making other kinds of paintings.

    If I'm interrupted, it's just a minor inconvenience, but not a disaster, because it's easy to get back where I was: that is, the paint has not changed consistency; the light has not moved.

    By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.

    It was a black and white only computer at the time, but it kept me fascinated.

    The time I save setting up and cleaning up probably balances out by the time I spend on output.
