"In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time" - Leonardo DaVinci -
Leonardo would be impressed
by The Internet as forerunner to
an imaginary studio event which
manifests in whizbangs in a moment
by mysteries of invisible assemblage
faster than the speed of thought
and all from out of nowhere
at the touch of a finger
wherever its ordered to be
coming forth from a Sfumato

About This Board:
Artists and Inventors who are Investors or who perhaps want to be Invested In - this Board's for you & for anyone interested in learning about these subjects.
A Links Library, Gallery, Showcase, Workshop, Studio,
Pub, Think Tank, Focus Room, Atelier, Salon
In the world of Things, Fine Art & Inventions are major investments. Few people have the brilliant drive of The Great Masters or the extraordinary money to buy their Original Works. We who love art are alive in good times now, studying copies of these Works available for free online. All who draw, paint, and sculpt enjoy being in the realm of art in whatever capacity. Whoever's bought original art for their home knows the investment aspect (of art).
Because Inventors know many Wall Street Stock Tickers started as someone's invention makes it very exciting to come up with a good functional idea and develop it perhaps to the point of Bring It To Be. Everything we use is someone's Invention.
Artists & Inventors meet at a border where
function & form shakes hands with elegance & decoration.
Everyone who likes to do anything - professional or hobbyist - enjoys meeting people of the same interests and exchanging information to facilitate a good result.
Good old-fashioned out-of-the-box thinking, patience for repetition, concentration on detail, and sensitivity to patterns changing from influences of the environment is what's required to develop an idea into becoming a thing. A creative thought mode can bring success with Wall Street Tickers - especially in areas of due diligence, watching r & d, patience, analysis of fine details by watching for changes in repetitious statistics, staying aware of news, timing, patterns, and multiple chartwatching.
In the art world it's called fine craftsmanship.
Art projects for shows and new Inventions in prototype for research and development haven't paid for themselves yet -
and many projects will be shelved or be unsuccessful for one reason or another. Oftentimes, art and invention projects may seem to be unfinished because a better application for the same idea has revealed itself along the way: taking more time and money. So, many Artists and Inventors with dreams and plans are also Investors staying afloat through the process.
This personal process itself is the same as/a microcosm of - the Wall Street macrocosm. Having personal familiarity with bringing an idea to materialize gives some wisdom & foresight when observing what's happening around the innovations being developed for marketing by a publicly traded Company. Researching predecessors, applications, suppliers, and competitors for a possible investment comes naturally when having experienced the same on a small scale, for yourself. Watching progress start to gallop or bog down for a Company being watched may be profitably predictive if/when something about what's happening around it seems like a deja vu.
A good time can be had here so i doubt the 86 or ignore post buttons need mentioning. A critique/seminar/focus panel
is if artwork or inventions or ideas are shared by a maker and opinions, suggestions, and either-or choices are requested...
no jeers, no awards, no probing questions,
no busting chops about minuteaie 'n stuff etc.
Explore & Keep It Under The Hat.
Respecting property as vested in Copyrights, Trademarks, and Patents laws & rules means Links should be placed with an attribution to source if coming through from elsewhere, or if forwarded from an unmarked page.
Inventors should Consider The Source(s) & All Possible
Applications, .... then Give A Nod to the existant (devices, etc.) to & from which the invention/idea is possible.
At this point in time, most new inventions are considered adjuncts (new applications, accessories, etc.) to a forerunner. Most common low-cost consumer-targeted inventions without precedent are those with simple functional elegance of a onepiece 2-D Design or a jacketed 3-D Design functional gizmo which may or may not encase a moving part & IT can be manufactured and/or assembled from commonly available components, materials, & processes. IT usually needs to be of fairly wide or generic applicability: or be utterly limited to a whole new scope, to be An Original.
The Perfect Original Invention solves a problem or meets a need created by ITself (or by being IT's own Original forerunner).
For Artists, works "in the style of the time" are often similar so as to capture the mood and dreams of an era - That's Good ... The Greats aren't always the Artists who start a style, but are those who manage to so prolifically perfect and improve the style du monde as to become An Icon on the Art marketplace. Shoot For The Moon is fun for Artists, as the more objets one makes the more refined the Works become.
For me, being an Artist/Inventor is all about this:
Hit The Moon would be GREAT, but it doesn't really matter.
"At Least I Can Do Something Right" and enjoy doing it !
Releasing the big breath at the moment the Work is finished, signing it exhausted with a giddy flourish in the handwriting style of an 8 year old...
gives a great feeling to say " aaaaaaaaaaah !"
The ability to draw well is a good skill for any other work, and it's about the independence of doing self-therapy & not being bored, for a lifetime.
Anyone can draw & improve the skill if they want to.

Many Links survive on The Count which often is only from On The Homepage; an appreciative guest will try to
Meet The Count of The Site with a tour of the Ad Gallery
& then perhaps give yet another Click at HOME for good luck.

The Links are understandable enough for beginners & good enough for professionals in the fine arts & graphic/industrial arts - starting with the actual Works and Writings of The Greatest Artist Of All Time....
Leonardo's smile transmits through the words telling tales of a life of grand adventure and the people he knew.
Everything to ever be said about Observation of Reality and Drawing is contained in The Codex & The Notebooks Of Leonardo DaVinci, as written 500 years ago.
The Scientific Method still in use today, begins here.
Some conclusions of the observations are among those which formed the basis of science today, and some are not.
Yet - The Observations are always correct at the start.

Good Luck!
