I graduated from college in 1980 with a fine arts background in painting. I've sold many paintings and etchings and even mixed media drawings throughout my college days in the late 70's and through out the 80's. I started doing digital art in the early 90's. Now I only do digital artwork for CD's and various illustration jobs on my own. I do promo & production animations and medical illustrations for my job at WABC-TV for a living.
When I graduated I wasn't sure what type of professional (career) art I was going to aspire to. I spent a lot of time moving around from different production art studios until I decide to make a change and get a job at a TV station doing news graphics and animations. That's when computers were really developing and breaking new grounds. I started working at CBS here in NYC on the overnight shift for a few years. I then took what I had learned and moved over to WABC-TV. I am very fortunate here because we get to learn and excel with some of the best software out there in the digital world today. So at this stage of my life I have in the last 15 years found what I believe to be the best way to express my personal art outside of traditional painting. I work in many different applications. The 3d application I always use for modeling and scene layout is Cinema 4d 9. I also use Modo from Luxology. As much as I love to model and create a scene in a 3d program, I always finish up in After Effects applying any special effects that I need to composite and then in Photoshop with any final touch ups and color adjustments.

Thanks for the compliments. It was just finished tonight. I've been working on it for the last 3 days in between my "Daz future " art contest pieces I'm currently working on. Inspired by the same lyrics in a song called Weak and Powerless By Perfect Circle. Thanks Frank

I like the grunge visual spirit through it. The color tones are beautifully worked out. Scene composition is also marvelous for me. C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S !!
