i am no "artist" but i'll post my (new found) hobby here anyway... i got some nice feedback on an drawing/photo album i made and now think, i should  spent a litle less time on chess.com and a litle more time on practicing drawing

Not bad at all.

Should I add it to my page?

it would be an honor !! (and also magnus carlsen #1.. is missing on your beautifull page http://www.jmrw.com/Chess/Tableau_echecs/index.htm)

check out John Singer Sargent's "The Chess Game"...in my experience the most beautiful..in terms of colour and fluid brush strokes..lovely.

hi brianmoreau... i agree totaly... for people who want to see it... it is in post #1

Very cool artwork on this thread!

@j-pax

I need your real name and the year of your birthday to add your drawing of Carlsen to my page.

What about the date of death?  Could they speculate?  I'd go with 2015 since I'm a smoker.

@jpax

I have nothing in my mail. Maybe 6Mb is too big for a mail?

oh i sent it yesterday evening?.. my name is johannes cornelis schipper... maybe j.c. schipper is better lol.... my short name is jacco, born in 1976

maybe 6mb is also a waste of your site/space .. i just changed the picture on this forum.. i think it is sharp enough
