W G Walters, The Person

First: I am a writer. One of my less serious bits is to the right. Think it's not a job? Well, there's someone on the internet who said when a writer sits at his desk staring at a sheet of blank paper, head in both hands, and sharpened pencil easily within reach for four hours, he IS working. There's no way I can deny that! So, why do I write? A writer�s purpose is simply to inform. That can be done through many forms of writing, including novels, scripts, journalism, and speeches. Therefore, a while back, I began working on a tutorial for anyone who writes or has ever had the desire to write. I'll probably finish it in the future; for now, I'll use my blogs to do that. Oy! Me Mind Go BOOM! When screaming matches fill the room And visuals show doom and gloom Oy! Me mind go BOOM! When cop cars take their time to pass When scanty clothes are on a lass Oy! Me mind go BOOM! A question with an open end With no attention to the end To whom the message should be sent Not knowing where the message went Oy! Me mind go BOOM! Taking time away from me Because it went to me, not she Oy! Me mind go BOOM! Second: I am an artist. I primarily do three forms of art. First, I stipple. One example is to the right. Stippling is to ink as pointalism is to paint, except they use different techniques. I simply start dotting whatever canvas I am using until I gain the desired effect. I learned stippling taking an artistic design class. The above drawing is one piece from that class, done in green, red, and yellow pens with the dark sides painted in an ultra-dark green acrylic. (Too much black paint. Waaaay too much black paint.) Most of my stippling is in the primary subtractive colors (red, yellow, blue) only, but occassionally I'll use a brown because of how difficult that color is. Second, I do black and white inks. To the right is "String Theory, one of my an example of non-objective art. This is simply where the viewer sees what they see; nothing specific is intended by the artist. While black and white ink is tricky enough because one wrong stroke can destory the piece, but non-objectives can be trickier. One common technique is to take an object and break it up into different pieces. It's possible to grow, shrink, turn, or rotate those pieces so it's unrecognizable. The last is chiaroscuro. This is just clever use of shading. which is especially useful with black and whites. I also do the occassional colored pencil piece, but those are rare. For more of my work, click the link at the top of the page. Do NOT put periods after my initials! Some of you (read: English majors) have noticed that I did not use periods after my initials. That is not a mistake. It's a statement. Keep in mind that e.e. cummings never used capital letters. It's sort of like that. Vital Statistics: Height: 5'7" Heritage: French, Irish, and Scottish Current Home: Spring, Texas Past Homes: Socorro, New Mexico Past Homes: Galveston, Texas Past Homes: Denver, Colorado Sexual orientation: Straight as a whistle, but my likes make people think otherwise. (Art, theatre, Michael Bolton...) Marital status: Divorced Drink: Had to give it up Smoke: No, I've known victims of Big Tobacco Religion: I'm in full agreement that certain churches chain you to dogma. Christianity isn't about dogma and blindly following rules, it's about faith. That's one reason why I like Orthodoxy: It's more about faith than dogma. I am still a firm believer, but I no longer attend services.

Of all my favorites, we could probably get along on a creative level. City I want to visit: Washington, DC. I was there when I was 12, but was too young to understand. Foreign city I want to visit: London State I want to visit: Alaska Country I want to visit: Egypt The moment I remember most from high school: I was walking down the hall after lunch. As I passed the boy's restroom, the door opened and several boys flew out in terror. A moment later, three girls came out, followed by a teacher with an angry look on her face I hadn't seen before and haven't seen since. The moment I remember most from college: At New Mexico Tech, Spring Break is filled with all kinds of things, including an unauthorized scavenger hunt. After Spring Break, all Monday classes in one classroom were cancelled because a team fulfilled one item on the list: All 120 seats, which were bolted down, had been turned backwards. The moment I remember was hearing that although the team took two hours, the crew assigned to fixing it took all day. My opinion of guns: I think ranged weapons are for cowards. Small weapons that can be hidden for sneak attacks, like daggers, are also for cowards. I consider a sword a man's weapon. You can't hide it, and you'd be facing death at point blank range. Pet Peeves Anyone who acts like they have any idea what's on your mind, using only third-party information. Long lines. People have places to go, and a wait of more than three minutes just won't work. Self-serve checkouts. I don't work for you, don't make me do the job. And everyone takes a long time to finish, making me wait even longer in line. Plus, I may have to wait for help that could already be standing right there and is instead helping someone else with two more people before me. People who try to tell you how to do your job when they've never done your job. (This does not include issues involving public relations) Compulsive talkers; I've been distracted from things I need to do on too many occassions because some people just won't SHUT THE HELL UP!!! (They're also terrible listeners.) Ignoring proven facts to make an invalid point Deciding what something is before looking at what it really is (jumping to conclusions) People who refuse to admit the possibility they're wrong People who assume you think the same way they do, then act like you're crazy when they realize you don't
