A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
Â
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!

Dude. You took the thought right out of my head, so to speak. I too love cartoons (what self respecting theatre pipe organist does not like cartoons). You picked two of my favs. I absolutely adore this art. Nice job and no abscentees. They are all there, the whole WB gang. 5 stars. Please do more!

How dare you show so much disrespect?????? Having the Roadrunner, New Mexico's state bird as the centerpiece of this Supposed "Last Super". I'm grately insulated....LOL..Great job Eric. I'm glad you reposted it, because I wasn't an RR member back then. I think this would make a new RR catagory "spoofed historical events" or "hysterical historical events" It's really great having you back with us at RR. I haven't been very active lately, but hope to get back into it real soon. Happy New Year my friend.

Fantastic, this is an awesome image and could keep the critics quiet for ages as all the connotations are analysed. This image as I remember cause quirt a stir over at Artzone . Funny how its been embraced by the site authority here.

LOL Poor Daffy. And pity those who can't just see the fun of it. It has a long table, and somewhere around the symbolic number of guests. Other than that, it's got a completely different thing going on. Congratulations on making the charts, too. I'm glad to finally get a chance to see this! Never give up, huh!
robotalk
It's a wonder you're not selling this as a poster and being a kazillionaire... it's most fabulous work --of course power that be would stop it from being YOUR commercial property..but what a gem !!
DRAKELOT
So he finaly catch the road runner ... awesome and congrats !!!

Hey Eric I am so glad you reposted this! I do have to admit it is one my faves of yours! And it was so despicable the way you were treated at that other community. That was just so wrong. So glad to see your wonderful and wacky sense of humor back here at Rosity my friend. I so enjoy your work and yes you always put a smile on my face!(If I'm not plain rolling on the floor laughing my behind off that is!:) That ia a real gift and one to be treasured! And I thank you for sharing!!!!! Hugs! Laurie

abady-abady-abady ... that's all folks! Great repost! :o]
tcombs
Yeah!!!!! At least Rendo group will appreciate your talent! Don't forget that Artzone is run by Morons...whoops, spelled that wrong, I meant 'Mormons'
Mousson
Moi aussi je suis contente du re-post de cette image. Elle est vraiment exceptionnelle! Je pense qu´il faut manquer totalement de sense de l´humour ou être un fanatique religieux pour être heurté par cette image. Il y a une joie d´enfant farceur qui se dégage et est trés forte... Je pense aussi qu´on pouvait inaugurer une catégorie "hysterical historical events" :-))

It's always good to revisit old friends. Congrats on being on the art charts.
chimera46
LOL, it's good to see this one again, and congrats on making the charts, it is certainly well deserved. In the renderosity forums (community->suggestion box area) there has been a call to change the art charts "most popular image" to one the artist can choose. The staff here have taken it under advisement as I understand it...
lior
So wonderful!
romanceworks
