And the other 80% of people will remain at the average level. Given the convention is

Android Jones The Creative Process of Android Jones Android Jones creates deliciously detailed digital art.  His career highlights include working for George Lucas’ famous company ILM and working for Nintendo. Android currently works as an independent artist. Creating his detailed and intense art is difficult.   In an interview with Witness This Android Jones describes his creative process: At the onset of an image, I’ve been known to consciously lash out a flurried cacophony of lines, shapes, and patterns. My initial choices of tools and brushes and patterns are often haphazardly chosen, frantically switching between brushes faster than my conscious mind has the ability to comprehend any semblance of meaning.

Captivating Plasticine Art from Nora Unda Nora (1982 ) graduated in Arts with a major in Visual Arts (2006 ) , titled Sculptor with distinction at the University of Chile (2009 ) . The goal of my work is to connect the viewer to children through a material linked play and creativity that is the dough. A turn is an invitation to know forms of nature and dreamscapes that lead the viewer to question his own account and causing generate new interpretations. My work is based on the long process of study , leading from the fragments of my memory that connects me directly with intuition.
