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!

a very expressive moment ! being a rescue, maybe her problem is that she is now very determined to hang on to her good home, and is afraid that he will displace her ?

Oh Eric I just love this photo. Great shot. Yep you can see the my teeth are bigger than your teeth here. hahaha I hope you and Wendy have a wonderful Holiday. May your New Year be filled with Peace, Love, Laughter, and good health. Hugs

I hope you've taken the opportunity to get them accustomed to each other. There are so many wonderful trainers out there - and there are so many things that can be done to get them to 'get along.' We've only ever had rescued dogs and have run into a myriad of problems over the years - all that can be overcome. Just ask your vet for advice and suggestions.

Lovely photo. Have a very happy Christmas. My dog barked our guests out of the house last night after he got fed up with them sitting on what he thinks is his furniture.

LOL ... I made the mistake of getting my Australian shepherd (Matty Roo)a companion once. That's when I found out that she prefers the company of people and dislikes other dogs. Her former companion now is in a loving home and all is well. Excellent photo ... those are two really beautiful dogs. And Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and yours. :-)
