BIO
Because we value our privacy at home, I'm not going to say too much here about my personal life. Those that know me, already know probably too much about me. :) I am a programmer by trade and work for a company in Washington DC (even though I live in Florida). I've been programming almost as long (if not longer) than I've been doing art.
In 1988 or so, I started drawing on the C-64 which only had 64 colors (of which only 4 could be used in a certain place). There was a program called Koala Paint that I used to draw simple images with. I dreamed then of getting a 24 bit board I saw in the magazines, even though it was $2400 and I didn't even know what computer they were for. Then I got the Amiga and DCTV. Millions of colors! Yeah! Though it had troubles, it was still awesome to work with and I have found few paint programs that work as well as that one did, though Painter is pretty close. Then I finally got the elusive 24 bit computer (the IBM compatible) and I was on my way, though I still miss the old days of Deluxe Paint and DCTV.
I work in 2D and 3D with an emphasis on 2D. My work includes celebrity portraits, down home scenes, and fantasy. I also lean more toward family art so that I can show the kids, not because I have anything against the more adult works. My mediums include Poser, Bryce/Vue, Painter and Photoshop with a touch of LW (still learning on that one).
Thanks so much for viewing this page and I hope you will enjoy my work. On behalf of the whole family, have a great day...
Oh, and please remain seated until this page comes to a complete stop. Thank you...

A wonder, you just can't get a good dolphin down and they always have something interesting to say.

Incredible job, Kaze. Looks like a poster you'd see for sale in a store.

Master Shadow, it is wonderful to see the circle of life come forth to grace my screen, in such a wonderous vision. I pay homage to 'The Family' and to your artistic craftsmanship! KUDOS ~b

They look so real, seriously; they are more like photos then rendered art. The background colour is really good to heighten whilst contrasting the grey skin. Once again, I love the water reflections.

Beautiful work. I have to agree with Kage, this is quality stuff that would make very good poster art.

oh wow, i bet you get lots of good votes on this one, mine included! it's excellent, singly or as a series. you really have the feeling of water, but such 'magic' water only exists in the world of shadowWind!! i like what happened there, on the dolphin skin :-)
gallimel
classy, and so beautiful to see.. for me whom I deeply love these animals, this is a vision of paradise in full. ou are a wonderful creator of art :)

Seeing this - your third and beautiful installment of 'Dolphin Fantasies' - is a fitting tribute to the series my friend. There's a wonderful mystical feel in not only the aesthetic colors of this one, but an exceptionally gorgeous play of light, right down to the raw ebullience of the entire harmonious placement of all the components making up the image. I think you will see a few sales on this one on T-Shirts and even prints. Your painting skills have become second to none, and your sense of natural balance of composition is bang on the money. Positively gorgeous work Shadow!

This is beautiful. when I lived in Hawaii I met the artist Chris Lassen who did alot of paintings of dolphins and sea life. Your dolphins have that same mystical flavor that he endowed to most of his works. Check out his work at lassenart.com.

Absolutely magical Shadow. I love the way you have used the light to bring each dolphn into the spotlight. The water and the light shimmer across their bodies beautifully. Their is visual congruity within all the elements of your work. This is a perfect way to complete your series. Excelent work!
SirJohn
Excellent job! This looks like a promo for a new Fantasia movie.
dragonmagic59
Oh Shadow! This is simply magnificent! These so belong on a huge wall somewhere at Sea World. Or on any aquarium wall! The colors are astounding! What I would give to have all three framed and hanging on one of my walls! The only complaint I have is that you claim this is your last! MORE I say!!!! MORE! Render on my friend! Seeing your works makes even the darkest days bright!!!!!!
