BIO
Because we value our privacy at home, I'm not going to say too much here about my personal life. Those that know me, already know probably too much about me. :) I am a programmer by trade and work for a company in Washington DC (even though I live in Florida). I've been programming almost as long (if not longer) than I've been doing art.
In 1988 or so, I started drawing on the C-64 which only had 64 colors (of which only 4 could be used in a certain place). There was a program called Koala Paint that I used to draw simple images with. I dreamed then of getting a 24 bit board I saw in the magazines, even though it was $2400 and I didn't even know what computer they were for. Then I got the Amiga and DCTV. Millions of colors! Yeah! Though it had troubles, it was still awesome to work with and I have found few paint programs that work as well as that one did, though Painter is pretty close. Then I finally got the elusive 24 bit computer (the IBM compatible) and I was on my way, though I still miss the old days of Deluxe Paint and DCTV.
I work in 2D and 3D with an emphasis on 2D. My work includes celebrity portraits, down home scenes, and fantasy. I also lean more toward family art so that I can show the kids, not because I have anything against the more adult works. My mediums include Poser, Bryce/Vue, Painter and Photoshop with a touch of LW (still learning on that one).
Thanks so much for viewing this page and I hope you will enjoy my work. On behalf of the whole family, have a great day...
Oh, and please remain seated until this page comes to a complete stop. Thank you...

What an absativily, (pet word) adorable photo Shadow. Even not feeling up to snuff, you manage to turn a great photo into a electric neon looking image with your expert use of PhotoShop. As fabulous a photograph as this is - you have added your own artistic touch and made it even better. Did I mention I'm a sucker for fuzz balls? LOL.

This is simply kick butt Shadow! What a fantastic image. Tut should be very proud to be the model for this pic! Hope you feel better soon!

Oh toooo much fun! Is that a psychedelic or just plain psycho cat? I bet he is dreaming of all sorts of mischief to get into when he wakes.

I came to visit because of your kind comments on my "Ancient courtyard" image, and I must say it is a pleasure to see your work. Cats are my favourite animals and this one looks so comfy, warm and contented. Beautiful.
