Brian's lamp

And here you can see it in a gallery of sample works online.

Cool, right? That Brian. What can't he do? (Hint: if you guessed play piano and guitar, draw, or do better in school than me and Dan, you'd be wrong. He can do all those things. And lots of others too.)

Officially he's employed as an architect, by the way.

If someone teaches you how to draw that doesn't really count to me. I guess that's being overly simplistic but I don't know how people define self-taught as opposed to not self-taught.

I guess what I'm saying is I think you have to have an inherent talent and desire to create art to really be an artist in my mind. Otherwise you're just someone who learned the trick of how to draw in perspective, etc.
