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.

'Tis indeed an honor and privilege to be among the first to comment here at Dr. Doarté's Druidic Division of Draticular Design. After closely reading your very apt warning .. we are considering turning off the lights and hiding upstairs from the AK47 and Uzi wielding feral youth pounding on doors demanding treats. We shall indulge in the treats ourselves. It appears to me that the rather emaciated Druids of the Draticular Design Division have been dipping into the seasonal hard cider to excess .. the master of the division looks on with horror .. or perhaps anger at not having been invited to partake .. I suspect the morning's light will bring upset tummies and aching heads .. and the wrath of the Master who is laughing in an evil and sinister way ... Wonderfully done!! Happy Halloween ..

Classic scene my friend and now my night is truly complete as I get to end it with a Halloween greeting from Doarte's MADHOUSE. I've paid special attention to your safety hints and must say #3 is one I will take to heart. Have a Happy Halloween

Killer image Doc, love the palette and of course all my Kinfolk Lazing about. Your right about the tricks and paybacks being more treacherous these days. no more Flaming bags of Dog Pooh on the Doorstep, now it's Bouncing Betty's under the Welcome Mat. Happy and Safe Samhain Doc Peace

Ah, Halloween. I wish the world was a safer place for our children. Except of course in wonderful artwork like yours :)

Cool image. Good advice for the unwary. Just a shame that it has come to this in our world. I remember when halloween was just good fun and the candy and apples where just fine.

Geez Doc, sounds like a tough neighbourhood, so you have to answer the door with Taser guns and rocket launchers, huh ? Glad Halloween hasn't gone that far in OZ yet, have fun (?) and Happy Halloweenies ! BTW, gruesome scene and neat subdued tones ! ~Cheers~

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
