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...

As always, Shadow, excellence in your Art Work is a given. I always thought there were secret shrines to cats everywhere. Afterall, they believe they should be worshiped...at least mine do! LOL! Great colors and lighting work. I love how the light just embraces the cat as if it has always been this way. Wonderful work my friend and my cats will surely love the tribute! LOL! Have a wonderful day!...Cheryl

Oh, what a magical image. I totally agree on the catism. I have one sleeping right behind me at the moment. Which was very annoyed that we were away for a week. But back to the image here. Your style is very unique and brilliant. Excellent.

As a lover of felines, I do not dare pass this enchanting piece of imagery up. When I first saw it, I was put in mind of numerous subjects; [1] It had a really nice childlike appeal much like a Disney classic movie, I think because of the magical display of color in both the purple background and glowing fountain orbs. [2] I was put in mind of ancient Egypt where cats were immortalized in statues, (some even mummified). The little black cat appears not to know what to make of the situation. This is truly an enchanting image my friend, and a vote!

My two cats, Gitana and Leo, give it two dewclaws up! And I enjoyed the whimsical feel of this image thoroughly. Very well put together!
