Welcome to the 5th edition of The Pulse -- The State of the Art -- a survey in words and pictures of the online artist community. The Pulse is a collaborative project that aims to introduce you to new artists, help you get to know familiar faces even more, and allow you access into the creative hearts and minds of a very talented crew of individuals. More than 130 artists have answered a series of questions which make up The Pulse. Their responses will be presented in a series of online posts.
To start things off with a bang, postings from The Pulse will begin today and continue on Sunday July 3rd and Monday July 4th. Regular weekly postings begin on Sunday July 10th and will continue every Sunday thereafter.
GIVEAWAY
To celebrate the start of the 5th edition, every person who leaves a comment on any of the three postings will be eligible to win a copy of 'The Pulse - The Zine' from 2008, which is now out of print and unavailable. Comments close on Saturday July 9th and the winner will be announced on Sunday July 10th.
Style File is the 1st of 6 projects from The Pulse. Participants were asked: How would you describe your artistic style?

I guess my style is experimental and layered. I chose this image because it started out as rather realistic and ordinary man's head and grew from there. First the pattern over the face and then more layers and more things. I like pattern and I like realism and I like to draw.

I use many different mediums and styles and most often enjoy using them together. I am not fond of 'mixed media' as so many use that phrase to describe so many different media. The Kitchen Goddess shows how I use many processes to create my 'style'.

My artistic style could be described as eclectic (is that a term for a fun, jumbled mess?) LOL.

I think my style tends to vary from graphic grunge and at other times it's a little softer and more expressive and ethereal. I love to incorporate my own photographs in my artwork and like to find ways to give them new life in my digital paintings and collage.

Messy, organic, free!

My artistic style is eclectic vintage nature-inspired collage.
-----------------------------------------
I'd describe my artistic style as vibrant, energetic, layered and connected to whatever I'm creating.
-----------------------------------------
Mixed-media narrative in a post-modern world. I combine the detritus of my urban environment with photographic images past, present, and future...taped, stitched, and spray painted together to evoke a landscape of decadent mystery.
-----------------------------------------
I guess I would describe my artistic style as 'earthy.' I tend to chose earthy colors and elements for my work. I love using elements that come from the earth as well.
-----------------------------------------
Quirky realism - choosing odd objects to highlight in still life.
