Artist's Statement
I work mainly in a 2-D forum. I use the program from Jasc called, Paint Shop Pro, and version 7 is my preferred version. I would say most of my work borders on the Folk Art, Americana, and Country style. Every piece I make starts with a blank white canvas and I build from the bottom up. I do alot of mouse painting.
I also write poetry and have been published twice. I also enjoy photography and have had one of my photographs published in a book as well.
I have a couple of website's inside MSN. One is called KanDu Designs, and the other is called The Elephant Site, Check them both out sometime.
You can find the link for KanDu Designs, under all of my Gallery pictures.
The Elelphant Site's Link is http://groups.msn.com/TheElephantSite
*My accomplishments here at Renderosity:
I was interviewed by the staff here and it was published in the Renderosity Interactive Magazine or RIM. March/April 2004 - [Volume 3/Issue 1]
**My proudest moment's at Renderosity, have been meeting fellow artists, and making some wonderful new friends.
Hope you enjoy viewing my work.
Thank you for stopping by today.
ENJOY!

Thank you Chorny and Coolcatcom, Thank you for the vote, George. That means alot! The "furry" look I get my using my retouch tool, set on smudge. And I just smear and smudge,blending the shades together, pulling out the tips and that is it. I did write a tutorial on painting feathers and this is basically the same thing. Let me know if you care to see the tutorial, I will provide you an addy. Thanks again so much. KanDu
