BIO I'm an illustrator, and for the last 15 years I have been doing almost exclusively digital work--mostly covers for e-books and small presses; fantasy, SF and Paranormal Romance covers are my specialty. I use Poser, Photoshop and Painter, and a nifty little paint program called ArtRage. I have been lucky enough to have work shown on the BBC's The Sky at Night, done promotional artwork for the Hugos, and have digital art tutorials published in Michael Burn's Femme Digitale and Digital SciFi Art (Watson-Guptill 2004) as well as DVD covers, cd covers and e-book covers, most recently for Liquid Silver Books, Edge/Tesseract and Dragon Moon Press. I'm also a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists. . When I have time, I do acrylic paintings for fun.
Commissions: I do 3d texturing and backgrounds now rather than book covers, and I do appreciate a good UV template to work on. Thanks for checking out my bio!

Oh wow, what a colourful start to the new year! Happy New Year to you too, I hope it is a good one for you!

It's been pretty exciting so far! It's been very cold here and a pipe broke in the basement..and then the valve handle for the house water shut off broke off when we tried to stop it. Luckily we did get a plumber to come out within an hour, but the towels that were being used to soak up the water froze solid. Aside from being expensive, no harm was done and now the offending pipes are moved to where they won't freeze-- though watering in front this summer will be tricky. I hope we used up all our excitement for 2018 in one day :D I hope you had a pleasant and uneventful holiday!

it is so nice to see you post again - great image

Hi Mike! Good to see you as well! Life has been busy but I try to keep an eye on what is going on here, though I have been doing more sewing than painting last year ..also working on this ridiculous house. Good thing I like it :D Hope your holidays were good; I imagine they were a little sad without your Dad, but I am sure he was there in spirit.

I love the furry caterpillar, he looks so cuddly! Have a great 2018!

I just want to stick my face into his fur, which is pretty weird if you think hard about caterpillars ;) Send me some of your hot weather! And Happy New Year!

Unique and beautiful art! Great use of various art programs. I just downloaded Photo Donut which is seems to have a lot of cool effects, and it's free. They do have two versions for sale so I might buy one if the program works out.
