doarte
I live in New York City and am a practicing artist and educator.
Â
To begin … I have an M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. My academic and professional career include: teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, serving as Director of the renowned 92 ST. Y’s Photography Department in New York City and Executive Director of the Institute for Art and Photographic Resources in Westchester New York and also an Adjunct Professor at New York University.
Other career highlights: I was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and Polaroid chose some my images for its 50th anniversary celebration … POLAROID 50, a collection of 50 leading artists including famous artists as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Cindy Sherman, etc.
My work has appeared internationally in galleries and museums, including the Toyko Metropolitan Museum of Photography, 80 Washington Square Gallery, New York City, Gallerie Mabrie in Paris, France, Lombard Freid Gallery, New York City, The Photographers Gallery London, England, Visage London, England, X+Â Brussels, Belgium Contretype, Brussels, Belgium, Thomans Cohn Gallery Rio de Janerio, Brazil, Foundation Canon Image Center Amsterdam, Art Institute Chicago, Illinios, Caltherine Edelman Gallery Chicago, Illinois, Kara Geneve, Zurich, Switzerland. Baronian -Lambert, Ghent Belgium.

A parallel “passion†for computer art began 15 years ago with 3D image making and the now ancient Photoshop 5 which culminated in QUESTIONS FOR A FETUS … a three-month installation of some 60 digital images sponsored by the Mother Earth Committee of New York City.
And now?  Now there’s doarte’s merry MADHOUSE with its Museum of Unnatural History for mementos past and present, the ODDATORIA Galleries for beasts and beauties, devil dolls and scenes devoted to serenity, a MIDWAY mad for models (fashionable and futuristic, glamorous and ghastly). And of course there is a circus serving divine divas to acrobatic rats … dozens of digital images dedicated to a relief from reality.
But the grandest dream of all … joining with other digital artist to make the computer a respected and important contributor to the world of art … just as the camera did for the world of photography.

Awesome render and creature ...

My goodness, where ever did you find this adorable pup?? does it count as three dogs if you live in a 2 dog town? We had three dogs before, and as long as no one complained, the town didn't really care. So would this one make us a five dog house now, or a three dog house again??? Such questions this beautiful canine brings up. And my oh my oh my! what beautiful teeth he has! Not even a teensy bit of tartar, but look, is there a finger stuck between his molars??? Such sweet, kind, loving eyes!! Quiet an old breed too, this Cerberus, reaching way back to the times when Homer wrote the Iliad. What a wonderful lineage he/she must have!!

A triple threat of a dastardly doggie. I think I heard him yapping tonight, baying at the near-ful moon. Throw him a bone? No, I had to throw him three...

Cool creature and background!!!

The model looks good, but as for the rest of this image doesn't really impress me much, specially for an image to be placed on the art charts of such poor quality. The lighting is horrible, their is no sense of even trying to blend this into the background image. You could of done a lot more with this then push the render button then throw on a background and post. Sorry to be so harsh but come on if this was to be a on the art charts I would expect more this just took a spot on the charts that someone else deserves more but doesn't have 24+ friends posting comments and favoring it to make the charts. Please put more effort into your work in the future and I would be happy to post some positive comments about it

LOL. You should really write a book . . . this is clever. Love the DOG. Great facial expression. And your background is stunning.
