Hi, I'm Frank Rizzo and you are a figment of my imagination
ÂÂ
My bio thing
   I only do what the voices in my head tell me to do. I really dig art and music, for me they go hand in hand. I'm interested in a lot of different arts = Fantasy, sci-fi, pencil drawings, comic or line art, escaping straight jackets, paintings, cgi, videogame cut scenes & trailers, alcohol, anime, photography, sculptures, writing, making a public ass out of myself to embarrass my girlfriend (and yes, that is an art),  you get the point.
   This is a site full of some crazy talent, so you should look at my favorites list if you have the time. It has a variety of extremely talented artist's work, I know this because i have seen it...its true. I have a ton of them so get comfy and make a day of it.
   I've got no training or experience with this but I did stay at a Holiday Inn. I started rendering around the beginning of  August 2007, and I have absolutely no clue what the hell I'm doing, but I'm having fun doing it so it's all good. I should probably pick up a tutorial or three but I'm stubborn and like to learn through trial and error. I'm the guy that will struggle for hours rather than just read the directions or look at a map. Feel free to give me any feedback, I'll soak it in like a dry sponge.ÂÂ
   I've also infected a few other sites with my presence, but my name changes depending on the b.a.c. in my system at the time. I'm mostly active here or at deviantART. I'm known as Frank Rizzo but that is just a pseudonym, the name is actually an old joke as well as a real life alias I use to mess with people at parties and such. It's a long story, don't ask ;)
I also run a few different groups over at devianArt that vary in Medium, Genre and Theme. In particular is a Poser/daz 3D group, and a Fantasy group that all mediums are welcome. So if you are over there check it out, add me as well if you want. Be more than happy to talk to ya ;)

   Thanks for having me here, and I do occasionally try to render some artwork. So if your really bored and have nothing better to do it might be worth it to wander on by my gallery and take a peek. Who knows, you might actually like it. I really appreciate and thank anybody who actually took the time to read this, you have more patience than I.
ÂÂ
Have a good one,
Frank Rizzo

Thanks for the fine work you are doing to safeguard the artists from theft of their works, its a great shame that this still happens. I bet the authorities would do something about it if it was barrels of oil we posted on the net! Wonderful scene, another gem you have created. Excellent!

KILLER art!!! VERY COOL on the art theft!!!!! I worry about my stuff being stolen and not being given credit. I've seen the water marks that some people use, but it's easy enough to get rid of with a little time. Hey, I followed the link to this persons page that you have on DA, his gallery is empty! GOOD JOB! If you ever need any help fighting art theft count me in...I'm not very savy about it but would do what every I can. We all (the non-thieves) put alot of ourselves and time into our art, it's only natural to want to counter act theft for all concerned. Have a good one, John

Your post is fantastic! Excellent pose, postwork, lighting and overall conception! Just phenominal, an instant favorite! Also, your work with the art theft is pretty doggone heroic. Thanks for having the moxie to follow through on what you found, and of making the community at large aware of it. We're behind you 100%!

try watermarking the image with your URL and a 50% opacity on it that way they know where the artwork originated from. My artworks are all over the web and yes, ok, NP, they all have my URL (domain name of my website) on it so they know where it came from. These thiefs are doing em a favor, they making ME famous. I gave you a 5 is superb work congrats.
