Art on the Edge of a Pixel
Although formally and informally trained in traditional painting mediums and technical illustration, I became fascinated with digital art in the early 1980s.
With the introduction of CAD and the precursors to Corel Draw and Quark, I began my journey towards becoming a “Digital Artist”.
Over time I have incorporated traditional painting styles into my digital art with the intent to trick the viewer’s eyes. I love to create art that at a distance looks like a traditional fine artwork, But as the viewer gets closer the digital nature of the artwork begins to reveal itself.
With the advent of digital camera, I began to explore combining photography, digital painting and digital overlays to push the the boundaries of “Computer Art” into the realm today’s “Digital Fine Art”.
The World thru a Digital Eye
I got into photography early with the help of my Mother’s Yashika 35mm camera.
Other than the basic instruction about apertures, F-stops and the rule of thirds. my apprenticeship was unorthodox. I would be given a photo assignment such as, I need a blue door. Or an adobe texture, river rocks. I’d return with a selection of shots and my mentor would pick one. He would not tell me why he picked the picture.
This style of training brought about my preference for un-staged urban and architectural photography.
I prefer to capture the world as we see it as apposed to being restricted to the “Rules of Thirds” or other conventional norms.
