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.

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.

Richardphotos
he is one creepy dude.the mood of apprehension and fear goes a long raise
goldie
what a terrific scene and atmo you've created here...the little penguins look rather sleepy though...i think it best to leave the Alpha there so he can protect these little creatures from the ever greedy humans...

An absolutely fabulous departure from the doarte norm. But then in the wonderful world of doarte there is no norm.

Indeed he is ALPHA. Strange fella, scary enough as well. Couldn't be bad though, loving the beautiful Penquins. Yes a departure. Always great!!!

Oh wow! Freakishly cool for sure!!

Expressive and ... awesome. I love it, even if his expression is disturbing. All my compliments, I have an old version of Poser, but I'm not quite able to use it.

Now this is a interesting character I wonder where he got his tats in the frigid ice laden land, and how its been beating the blood out of.. Not to mention his clothes, I didn't know penguins could sew that's amazing!! Doarte’s Department of Anthropology really does need to get these back to the madhouse to study there seems so much to learn... :-)

Simpy astounding discovery by the MADHOUSE, and what a truly intense look upon Alpha's face. For sure those eggs will be safe as long as he's around.

Creepy cool, but also a sad image, reminds me the yearly sealbaby-killers!!! Animal welfare activism of BB In 1986, she established the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals. She became a vegetarian and raised three million francs to fund the foundation by auctioning off jewellery and many personal belongings. Today she is a strong animal rights activist and a major opponent of the consumption of horse meat. In support of animal protection, she condemned 'seal hunting in Canada' during a visit to that country with Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. She sought to discuss the issue with Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, but her request for a meeting was reportedly denied.[citation needed] On 25 May 2011 the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society renamed its fast interceptor vessel, MV Gojira, as MV Brigitte Bardot in appreciation of her support. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitte_Bardot Tierschutzengagement der BB Marguerite Yourcenar gelang es 1968, mit einem Brief an Bardot diese für Kampagnen gegen die Robbenjagd in Kanada zu gewinnen. Dass Bardot noch 1969 in einer legendären, auf Nordamerika beschränkten Anzeigenserie der amerikanischen Nerzzüchterorganisation Blackglama nackt im Nerzmantel posierte, tat dem Einsatz gegen die Robbenjagd keinerlei Abbruch. Bardot ermöglichte die Kampagne, sich nach ihrem Rückzug aus dem Filmgeschäft in den 70ern als prominente Tierschützerin neu zu positionieren. Insbesondere prangerte sie Umfang und Methoden der Robbenjagd an und verbrannte Pelze bei einer Demonstration in Paris.[3] Sie ist aktive Unterstützerin der Umweltschutzorganisation Sea Shepherd.
