No problem! I'm learning every time as well! Sharka does her paintings digital though. So on a computer. So there is digital painting and Sharka uses it. Would help to explain how she's able to knock out so many images so quickly. I didn't look closely enough at ALDrawings. Thanks for the clarification. But she stil draws it. Just using pen and PC instead of pencil and paper. She tried to explain it a few days ago - you can see the way of here digital painting here: www.instagram.com/p/BHkZ9yEBYR0/?taken-by=creativesharka

I know this is a bit OT but FB just notified me that I had to put my real name on my FB account and show ID or I couldn't use my account. They blocked me off it!!! Has this happened to anyone else?? This account is 100% Adam. >:( I know lots of people with accounts without real identities. Asking for ID would make me very, VERY suspect. As far as I know, all you need is a verifiable email addy. Did you try to access and they told you they blocked it? I know people's accounts are being hacked all the time! See if anyone else can get to your account.

Wonder if they think Bama Atop is my real name. lol. I can still access my account. Do you think this is legit? Maybe others will weigh in. Same as me!! I am Star Atop and there are others using Atop. I can't decide if it is worth giving them my true info to keep this account. I hear from others that FB spams their twitter and email. :-S

In my opinion there is not much of a difference between 'normal' drawings and paintings or those made on a computer. The artist uses different tools, that is all. There is a huge difference though between an original drawing or just putting a filter on an existing picture. There are filters that make a photograph look like it is a drawing or painting and it takes just two mouseclicks to make these. There are people on twitter who are presenting those like 'art'. It's not. At all. And then you have the drawings that are made of existing pictures. It takes a lot of skill to do that, but it really depends on the person drawing whether they add something which make the drawing more than a copy of what was there before. I have thought a lot about this too. I am 'just' a photographer. Does this mean I can't make an original picture when I am just shooting an existing situation (like Adam in concert)? I really don't know. I don't consider myself good enough yet to claim I do more than register what another has created. But what happens if I edit my pics? Is there enough of 'me' in there then to make it something original? It is a really interesting discussion, which of course is related to the question 'what is art'? Not that I would claim to be anywhere near making art, but that discussions centers about originality too, and skill, and ideas or vision behind a work, and the effect on the viewer. Better philosophers than me have written a lot about that question, so I'll just conclude my musings with one of my recent 'works'. For this I made a screenshot from the Ghost Town video, transformed it and merged with one of my own pictures from the tour. Then edited some more to make it look like a multiple exposure of the same situation while in reality the images were made a long time and worlds apart. With this edit I wanted to say something about Adam being a shape shifter, not easy to pin to one image. About the creative process that goes from video to stage. Also about my own journey, from the first time I heard Ghost Town to the feeling of witnessing it on tour. Tying those different worlds of Adam's studio in LA to the cold stage in Copenhagen. It is my current home screen and I still smile every time I see it.

I have a personal account, and we made an account for our now-gone (sniff, sad face!) dog (gave her a gmail address). I don't get spammed by FB. You can set notifications to only send emails for certain activities (e.g., someone tags you or comments on your post), or not to notify you of anything. Or to notify you of everything. Haha. I don't notice anything in my Twitter that leads me to think FB is spamming me there.

That Sharka drawing is of the one gesture Adam does that I don't much care for... . Not that my opinion will stop him, haha. Count me in as finding his gesture w/o class. As well as the us of the word "p" and "c". I don't find it endearing but very vulgar. To each their own. But just not classy LOL.. there're things Adam did or said on stage I'm not crazy about (either they're IMO w/o class or just not my cuppa), since some fans're drooling and think they're sexy, so I just keep it to myself. Like you said "each to their own"

Me too - don't like it at all...and those words you mentioned demean him I think. I'm the opposite. Makes him human unlike the "cupcake" persona so many have created for him. I believe that many fans wouldn't like adam if they knew him irl. We see a very sanitized version of him I don't think it's a very sanitized version of Adam that we see. I think what we see is the bright side of him and he doesn't or rarely show his dark side to public. Remember this video?
