A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
Â
I have been drawing since I was 11, some 33 years ago.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Knoss, was a great artist and I greatly admired his illustrations. He encouraged me to pursue my artistic interests at a crucial time in my development.
My High School art teacher "Vern", was also a great influence. He always challenged me to try different things.
I was lucky that my parents were very supportive of my interest in art. I studied at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (1986-1990). Where I was humbled by many great artists that were far more talented than I. There it was that I rounded out my fine art skills, and then chose to major in Media Arts. Studied film, video and sound. Learned all the skills needed to shoot, direct, edit those mediums.
While pursuing a Media Arts major, I discovered computer graphics, still in it's infancy. This is where I came to an Epiphany. Here was a new medium, that incorporated everything I had previously learned into one new medium. Not only that, but it had new dimensions, interactivity, feedback, randomness, AI. I was hooked.
The next 17 years I learned and grew with the industry. Learning everything from how to create and manipulate digital imagery and create animations, to interface design and interactive authoring. My day job is an Information Architect, a fancy term for software interface design.
A few years back, my wife and I hit on some difficult times (As many people do) and it was during a very dark time in our lives that I discovered what became Renderosity, Initially I posted work, merely as a way to get myself back into the discipline of making new art.
I was delighted to find a world-wide community of talented artists, exchanging ideas and art!! I was thrilled! I have learned so much from you, and your art has brightened up my world. I am lucky to have made some great friends here, and I aim to do tributes to all of you!

I'm not sure I really understand how this game works but, from what u said, I see u in the middle of troubles with ur wife keeping an eye on u to make sure u're safe! That's quite typically the men-women relationship! Men are adults who completely forgot to grow up and we spend our lives looking after u! I can really relate to this!! Fabulous piece my friend! Love it! :)

LOL@Tibet!!! Yes Pascale, you have it right, supposedly the gist was that there would be trouble ahead, and my friends (The ladder) would be there for me, and my lover (Wife) would be keeping an eye on me, but unable to help directly. Now it is ironic, that we later went through almost 3 years of dark time, where I had trouble finding good work, 911, etc. (See my piece "Hope") and this new job that pulled us out of the Abyss, was through a very good, old friend of mine! And my wife, all along would be watching me, worried about me being depressed, and saying "Wish I could help you." Kinda spooky! But then these things happen to all of us at times in our lives. Just not looking forward to kids that want to form a rock band! LOL!! Thanks for all the great comments!!
