A little more about me

Okay, so here’s another entry.
As I mentioned, I’m not sure what my purpose in keeping this blog is, so it’s difficult to determine what I should write about.
Odds are that if you’re looking at this you already know me, as the only people too likely to stop by here are friends of mine whom I tell about this, though I suppose that there will be the occasional new visitor.
So I guess I should try to find some balance between just providing updates on my life for people who are already fairly knowledgeable about my life, and introducing myself to people who don’t really know me.
Easier said than done, I think, but I guess I’ll give it a shot.
As you can see from previous posts, I’m something of an artist.
I say “artist” even though I don’t really think of myself as such, but there’s no other term for it. I suppose I could say that I’m a “dabbler,” but that just sounds silly.
My art tends to fall into one of two categories: original images and portraits.
My portraits tend to be of famous women, like the image of Rachael Leigh Cook posted here.
My original images tend to relate to science fiction and fantasy, and are usually representations of characters from stories that I’ve written (or, more commonly, plan to write).
Again, most of the original images tend to be of women.
Why is that? Well, I like women.
I especially like to draw women, as, for one thing, I’m fairly good at it, and for another, I don’t think there’s any subject more deserving of representation in art than women.
I’m of the opinion that there’s nothing in the world more beautiful than a beautiful woman.
I can see how someone could see that as something of a patrician, or even chauvinistic attitude, and some people might be offended by the skimpy outfits and provocative poses in some of my images, but I make no apologies.
It’s what I like to do, I’m pretty good at it, and I’m not hurting anyone.
And yes, the images are largely unrealistic, but that’s rather the point of fantasy.
There’s a lot more I could say on the subject, but I think I’ll leave it at that for now.
In fact, I think I’ll end this post on that note. I don’t want to ramble on too much, especially for those of you who are new to the “World of Jon.” I don’t want to reveal too much all at once, since I have to keep some amount of mystery to keep you coming back for more…
