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...

Very well done! I think that you should do more of these caricature like depictions. You have a good eye for these, and a very subtle touch that makes them very effective and not overdone. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent Shadow! I love the work you have done with the lighting and even though I am not familar with Koshini, it is quite obvious that your excellence in caricature is over the top! I love the lights in the eyes of the gravestone and the hands sticking put of the ground. For someone who has watched Buffy for many years, they always knew to watch where they were walking...one never knew what or who would come up out of the ground. I would be remiss if I did not mention you obviously brilliant work on the house, the trees and leaves. You have this ability to bring us into the story...only a few can do that!

Love the theme, your work as always is incredible. I am painting on my wall this weekend and I use your airbrush technique as a reference. You airbrush techniques are an inspiration along with this wonderful work. Thank you for allowing me to see this piece of art.

I may not be a fan of Buffy, and have only watched about 30 minutes of the original movie before turning it off - (sorry, just not my cup of tea) - however, this personal opinion of such subject matter does nothing to interfere nor subtract from the expertise and enormous artistic skills that you weld with precision. I'm especially proud of your first efforts at UV Mapping and texturing my friend, that Tombstone is beautifully done. Believe it or not, I once did the lettering and graphics on headstones for a company that manufactured such dedication stones. This is another marvelous render Shadow, and I'm curious, is that a stake in her hand, or just a porkchop? Sorry, bad humor! Excellent work, and apologies for the late comments.
