I am very happy to be able to write about art in such a way as to engage your interest - where's the challenge in making art fun for painters to read about? When I was a kid, my neighbor Ben, who was the same age as me, wanted to be an actuary when he grew up. He was better at math than I was. He did become an actuary, but he found it was not as exciting as he thought it would be, and when last heard from was a professional gambler in Monte Carlo. I guess that's beside the point, but I am very happy you're enjoying this blog, and touched to know about it. Thank you!<br /><br />DanielDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597234920324948705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293319073550947163.post-84954075122195032712011-06-25T22:02:34.261-04:002011-06-25T22:02:34.261-04:00I am a math major by education, actuary by profess...I am a math major by education, actuary by profession. I came across this blog accidentally thanks to the post about wit and Aliens Werses Predators. I know absolutely nothing about art (and, generally, have no interest in it) but I can't stop reading this blog! Your ideas and observations about the technical and..should I say, psychological? emotional? aspects of art are insanely interesting. And I must say, I completely enjoy your use of math as both both a conceptual and a physical tool. Whether it's the convexity of the lines of a model's back or increasing rarity of prime numbers, you provide new and interesting ways for me to think about art.<br /><br />Awesome job.<br /><br />`SaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293319073550947163.post-62785593001863273532010-05-09T16:44:37.733-04:002010-05-09T16:44:37.733-04:00Wow, thanks Amy!

Perhaps what you're observing is related to my purchase recently, at Target, of a pair of S-M-R-T-P-N-T-S. <br /><br />:)Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597234920324948705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293319073550947163.post-83724106207310755522010-05-09T16:18:18.716-04:002010-05-09T16:18:18.716-04:00You are so smart.
