Been doing this over a year now and I'm still not quite sure how to define it. Is it art or not? Can we be said to be really creating our images, given that we're using computer programs and models made by others? And, for that matter, what is its official title? Personally I call my work "using Daz Studio because of a total inability to draw or paint." It doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. I suppose it doesn't matter in the end. As PG Wodehouse said, it makes me happy and keeps me out of public houses.
My main influences are Manet, Edward Hopper, Caravaggio and Pieter Bruegel. The first two gave me an interest in realism, the third created an addiction to light and shade, and the last nurtured my overall misanthropy.

Why Is This Here?
All my renders are there, including the ones I hate. There's also a rag-bag of assorted writings and photos.
I've also recently started a blog about this whole business:
Can't Paint Can't Draw
Thanks to everyone who's submitted Free Stuff to this site - especially some of the wonderful Vicky textures. Sorry to anyone who I don't credit. It's down to the disorganisation of my hard drive rather than an evil heart.

Oh, please tell me you didn't venture into a shopping mall on black friday. That will surely set off a seizure, or in my case a murder spree. lol. Wonderful pose, expression and cool effects.

Andrew your a braver man than me if you went shopping or even out of the house today with all those loons running rampant. lol This image is great and describes exactly the results of going out on black friday

I heard someone was actually killed on my black friday this year. Shopping-related death: that says there is something really wrong with our society, if you want my opinion. I like what you tried to do with the bright lights and the wavy deformation. Not quite perfect, because the effects bleed a little bit on the main character but I think it still looks really good. Nicely done!

Very good social commenttary ! It is true I think it was in Rhode Island A sales clerk at Walmart was trampled to death by the shoppers after the doors were opened for the store! And then after that the people refused to leave when the store manager demanded everyone leave the store because someone was killed in his store! When people see nothing wrong with stepping over a limp body on the floor to race for a Bargain then our basic values are definately out of wack!
