ArtPatient Home

A little play on words about the study and practice of art.

ArtPatient is updated at least three times per week, usually on these days:
Mondays Resources
Fridays Webcomic Reviews
Sundays Frog Pond
Hosted Galleries can be found at the bottom of this page.

ArtPatient.com was originally a personal creative gallery for Delos Woodruff, Mary Burns, DJ Willia and a few others. The scope has broadened to become a resource for artists and for those who can appreciate art. The mission is to provide straight forward information on artistic techniques and related topics of interest to artists. We can learn a great deal from one another.

Madscott

by S.R. Gallatin



Madscott starts out as black and white line drawings but switches over to color in early 2008. A month later it switches back and for a good reason. Even though it looks good, the artist doesn't want to rely on color to carry the comic. The line drawings are not especially detailed but that's not the charm of the strip. I'll come back to that after I talk about some of the details that support it. See the rest of the review right here.

Happy Artists

After reading this article by Ben Gordon, I had to fight the urge to entitle this resource "the care and feeding of artists."

But if I had,it would have really cheapened what Mr. Gordon had to say in his article. Let's not get all artsy, angsty and melodramatic - but the artist has some desires that they might not even realize. And those who don't practice art understand even less of what an 'artist' might be going through. Take a look at what an artist needs.

The Tree Fort is Lost!
Sounds like a weepy sad song, doesn't it? Or maybe something out of Monty Python.

OH NO! DJ has claimed the Tree Fort! That was supposed to be the first, last and only line of defense against the encroaching forces of the Natives (and Dark Jay, as it turns out.)

This brings us even with the end of the Frog Pond Experiment, the last storyline. I was experimenting with doing more gag comics but I tend to think more in story form rather than pure gags. I'll be trying something a little more in the middle in the next storyline. We're not quite out of this one yet, though.
