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!

Beautiful portrait! Makes me really miss my Kody (I grew up with a Samoyed, who's sadly no longer with us) I love that alert and interested look as she stares directly at the camera. You can see so much personality in this photo!

Snow White. Beautiful animal. Aloha

She's beautiful!!!!! One of my bunnies came from a shelter and I the reason he was left there was "kids got bored of him". Parents should not teach their children that animals are throwaways.

She has one of the sweetest doggie faces I've ever seen. I can feel the love coming off of her in waves. How could anybody not love that face??

Bellissimo!

Awesome capture of Kiska's face! Her eyes seem to hold the wisdom of the world! Our three are adopted also, though not through any rescue. They came to live with us through assorted ways. Folks who adopt new family members are high on my A list, LOL!
