BIO
My name is Todd Shearer and I live in the US, on the east coast, near Washington D.C., but don't hold that against me, it's not my fault...really. I live with my significant other and two beagles, Hephaestus (aka Heph) and Nyarlethotep (aka Nya). and the ghost of Yogsothoth (aka Yogdog) And yes, feel free to make the Indianna Jones joke about my being named after the dog. I am presently one of the great unemployed masses, trying to make my way into being able to almost support myself with my art and writing. I try not to be a one trick pony, doing a landscape here, a portrait there, a pin-up over next to the wall...yeah, there in the corner...or whatever else comes to mind. I read and write mostly horror, though I make a point of forcing myself to read at least one classic "should be read" book every four or five cheesey horror or fantasy novels I read. Presently I am working on Dante's Divine Comedy and coming to regret the choice. My favorite artists are Vermeer, Brughel, Barry Windsor-Smith, Bernie Wrightson and Thom Canty... talk about ecclectic. My favorite writers are Stephen King (there's a surprise), H.P. Lovecraft, James Michener and Douglas Adams. Anything else you wish to know? Feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer. Yerz, Yogdog

Very reminiscent of a Michael Whelan painting. Very pleasant, soothing image. Only suggestion-- why crop part of her? I'd've shown all of her.

I think the fact that you created an image from an experience that you shared with your wife says volumes about how much you really love her! Your image is gorgeous by the way - I am inspired by your hair and cloth painting. I haven't painted much at all as I have no idea what I am doing, but viewing your artwork gives me hope that maybe someday I will be able to...sigh I love the depth of this image, as well as the atmosphere you've created. The colors of the forest seems so warm and inviting. Excellent image and a V!

I love it! I don't think the DOF is necessary, or perhaps it's too hard. I think I'd rather see details in the background. Just an idea...!

Words fail me! A work of sublime perfection - like a Rackham painting.
