A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
ÂÂ
I have been drawing since I was 11, some 33 years ago.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Knoss, was a great artist and I greatly admired his illustrations. He encouraged me to pursue my artistic interests at a crucial time in my development.
My High School art teacher "Vern", was also a great influence. He always challenged me to try different things.
I was lucky that my parents were very supportive of my interest in art. I studied at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (1986-1990). Where I was humbled by many great artists that were far more talented than I. There it was that I rounded out my fine art skills, and then chose to major in Media Arts. Studied film, video and sound. Learned all the skills needed to shoot, direct, edit those mediums.
While pursuing a Media Arts major, I discovered computer graphics, still in it's infancy. This is where I came to an Epiphany. Here was a new medium, that incorporated everything I had previously learned into one new medium. Not only that, but it had new dimensions, interactivity, feedback, randomness, AI. I was hooked.
The next 17 years I learned and grew with the industry. Learning everything from how to create and manipulate digital imagery and create animations, to interface design and interactive authoring. My day job is an Information Architect, a fancy term for software interface design.
A few years back, my wife and I hit on some difficult times (As many people do) and it was during a very dark time in our lives that I discovered what became Renderosity, Initially I posted work, merely as a way to get myself back into the discipline of making new art.
I was delighted to find a world-wide community of talented artists, exchanging ideas and art!! I was thrilled! I have learned so much from you, and your art has brightened up my world. I am lucky to have made some great friends here, and I aim to do tributes to all of you!

Most colorful! Bravo! BTW, I can't eat Bell Peppers either, but I too can eat Jalapenos????? I'm so allergic to Bells, I can taste them on a non-Bell pizza made off the same table as one previously made with bells!

Now that is RED. I love Red Peppers, why can't you eat them...they are pretty mild. Even better are Purple Peppers. I'm growing some right now. I guess that makes me a two eyed, no horned, grounded purple pepper eater! ;^P
SamTherapy
Capsicum, yum!

I love red peppers they are so good for. Peppers are great to if you can't do red peppers! Fabulous shot! I hope they're organic! :P

Beautiful photo. Peppers would look better in soft taco shell with onions, grilled chicken, sauce, etc. and me about to chow down on it.
