This week’s featured art is 12 Apostles Mandala Fine Art Print by Diane Ross

I’ve long been fascinated by mandalas and kaleidescopes. I especially like images like this, built from real photographs. Pieces like this have a sense of realism that purely manufactured art doesn’t have. The choice of framing and matting is great, though like any art at ImageKind, they can be customized by the buyer. Feel free to click the image to learn more about it or to maybe purchase a print for yourself.

Prices for 12 Apostles Mandala Fine Art Print begin at $25.47, subject to change.

This week’s featured art is watermelon by Sandra Idleman

This piece would be right at home in a country kitchen or on a bedroom wall, maybe in a little girl’s room. I would have liked to see different patterns of seeds on each watermelon, but that’s not a detraction from the quality of the art. It’s great just the way it is. The choice of framing and matting sets off the art fantastically, though like any art at ImageKind, they can be customized by the buyer. Feel free to click the image to learn more about it or to perhaps purchase a print for yourself.

Prices for watermelon begin at $16.49, subject to change.

First time in a casino

June 19, 2007 · Filed Under Poker · Comments 

First time in a casino playing poker, anyway. Until recently I was living in Florida, and nowhere near any of the rooms to go play. Since moving out west though, I’ve got three casinos within 15 minutes of my house. I’ve been playing online for a couple of years now, give or take, but I’d never played live (except for home games).

So, tonight I took the leap. Read more

This week’s featured art is Dark Shell by Kate Childers

I’ve always enjoyed art like this. Bold lines, excellent color, and almost mathematical in its precision. I really like the use of shading and glow - many pieces like this stick to flat colors, but the use of gradients really makes it special and gives it a lot of depth. The choice of framing and matting matches really well, though like any art at ImageKind, they can be customized by the buyer.

Prices for Dark Shell begin at $20.38, subject to change.

There Are No Poker Bots

June 12, 2007 · Filed Under Poker · Comments 

I play poker at Full Tilt and Poker Stars and I’m a member of Railbirds, an online poker community. I’ve read books by Brunson, Caro, Gordon, and others. I’m currently reading volume one of Harrington on Hold ‘Em. I’ve played countless hands online at Tilt, Stars and also at Doyle’s Room.

I have yet to see any evidence that there are poker bots playing on behalf of the sites.

Let’s back up a bit in case you have no idea what a poker bot is. Basically, there are a lot of people who suck at poker. Now, I’m not a pro by any means. I’m an average player. I don’t win a lot and I don’t lose a lot. There are a lot of people who suck a lot more than I do, and they are the people that go to Railbirds and "explain" their losses by saying there are programmed software "robots" that play at the online tables. These "bots" are supposedly in the employ of the poker rooms, and they’re there to beat the human players and take all their money.

This week’s featured art is Cat Tails At Sunset by J Richards

Very, very dramatic. I love the way the light filters though the fuzzies on the cat tails, almost making them glow. I don’t think the shot could have worked out any better short of arranging the cat tails manually. I especially like the color tone of the image. The framing and matting are pretty much stock, but they work well. Like any art at ImageKind, they can be customized by the buyer. Click the image to learn more about it or to maybe purchase a print for yourself.

Prices for Cat Tails At Sunset begin at $15.28, subject to change.

This week’s featured art is Old School by Cassie Schilliger

This is a really well-conceived and well-executed piece. By applying some light Photoshop touches the age of the boards is really emphasized. The scene has a classic look to it. I love the choice of framing and matting, but like any art at Imagekind, they can be customized by the buyer. Feel free to click the image for more information or to perhaps purchase a print for yourself.

Prices for Old School begin at $17.49, subject to change.
