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...

Had Tinker Bell known what was coming she might never have alighted on Peter Pan's window sill. All denial is at the very rooftop of Tarna.

Enchanting doesn't come close, but it will have to do. It does kinda remind me of Disney's latest "Fantasia" with a little bit of "Peter Pan". May we all never really grow up! :o)

Although I think this image is every bit as magical as any you've done my friend - and I do like it very much - it lacks a wee bit of your excellent hand painted touch that I personally have found to be so endearing and precious. This of course is not to be taken as a negative critique - because as I said - it's still quite magical, and there is so very much to be credited you for your uncanny ability to work within multiple 3D software. I suppose it's the regular artist in me that has grown to be so in love with your hand painted skills. Also - I do realize that you've applied post-work to this enchanting piece. I still give this a vote because of the excellence in the utilization of the various programs and your totally excellent imagination. Excellent work my friend.
