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.

with all heart and soul... I understand the pain and loss that you feel... take the time you need... this is not a competition, create when you can... deal with what you have to... indulge in memories... very strong image... the eye peeking out from the corner of the masque... mystery, foreboding even... you have to have a strong heart in order to traverse the halls of the Odditoria on a daily basis.... instant fave!

the grief never goes away... My Mother has been gone since 2001... she passed February 9th or that year... on Thanksgiving, the end of November I had picked up the phone to call my Mom and tell her that turkeys were on sale - I dialed her whole number before it dawned on me she was gone - almost a year later.... Death affects us all differently and it is WISE to try and look at yourself as others do... you will change.... I became more sensitive, It really bothers me to see people go through pain - I really wasn't that sensitive before. I had a friend who lost his sister and she was his best friend... I was working with him when she passed and I noticed him change... he would get angry at the flip of a coin. Twice he tried to take punches at my face as hard as he could, and I was quick and got out of the way... I stood there and saw the anger and hatred in his eyes turn to shock as he asked me If I was ok.... I said, I'm ok, question is are you. I know he didn't want to hit me, and I wasn't going to put up a fight if he would of hit me - he was my friend and I knew what he was going through. Be aware of your actions and try your best to control your emotions and when you'r alone find the time to cry and let it out - but stay safe. ...as for your image, it makes me think of Spy VS Spy - lol... someone aught to do a movie and put the black spy on the cyotee's team and the white guy on the roadrunner's team and go through all the comics like this and devide them up on teams and have them do a royal battle. Keep your head up and laugh often.

Wayne, let me say how deeply sorry I am to hear about the passing of your Father. This has to be a very difficult time for your family and I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. This amazing image is typical of your always original work. You are truly one of a kind my friend, and you're Father must have been very proud of you

The loss never goes entirely away, and we miss them dearly. I have lost all my relatives that were older than me, and I regret I did not spend a little more time with them and questioned them a little more about there lives. i am so sorry for your loss. I am almost surprised you were able to render anything, but I think you can use it as part of the grieving process. Be well my friend. Oops, almost forgot your render. I think I have seen that bird beak thingy but always in a Mardi Gras theme. Yours is spooky and the texture nicely distressed. it is something I have come to expect of you taking a path less traveled. Song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-DU-64LI8w

Those that pass - DO REST in PEACE. But those who loved them, needed them, felt some unfinished business lingering for them find that the chance to do so, finish the business, say what needed to be said, settle what needed to be settled, and share our heart - that for the living is what is taken away - the chance for that - those - WE are the ones no longer at peace when that happens. Thus, you must find a way to heal that void, fill that gap, and resolve within you what is needed, to finally look up from the dark, and realize that for you - for now - life goes on.

i agree with mikeerson about beeing sensitive.i was the same or even more i was an egoistic azzhole before i quit drinking and spending my times in the 3d communities and some social networks as well.i bacame aware of others pain and mine at the same time. i can say thanks that i went through this change. wne my dad passe away in 1974 i was 19 years old,jsut married for the first time and feeling like the center of the world. not having had the best of relations with my dad in this period of time his passing did not hurt me or so i thought. come to recent years and lots of talks with my sister i have a different approach. i see him on two levels. for one the brutality and crap he has done,but on the other i have to give him credit for raising me educating me some manners,feeding me,clothing me and all that.´so i am a bit "schizo" in this line. feeling with ya bro.
