I enjoy producing graphic images, working primarily in Photoshop,
although I don't do much of this for a living anymore, which is a shame.
Lately, I've been using my digital camera to capture still images, the
manipulating them on the computer. In the near future, I'll be adding
some of my images, but for now I have only this:
My non-digital artwork is completely different than anything I do
online. I could never do this stuff on a computer. I don't know if
it's any good, per se -- some of it is just designing, more drafting
than art except that it's not useful like drafting is. Here are four
pieces:
Chaotic
Design (summer 2001)
Tread
Lightly over Bones of Fallen Heroes (summer 2001)
Savior
Save Your Self (Fall 2001)
Persistence
of Silence (Winter 2002)
Subvertisements are funny!
Or sometimes thought-provoking.
The Powerpuff Girls are very cute and all, but my friends Barb, Gwen,
and I are the soon-to-be-(in)famous GlowerGruff
Girls. To know us is to understand why... (Click the image to

This Macho
Man caught my eye in a magazine, because the model looks a lot
like our Network Administrator, although the Network Administrator
notes that his mustache is not that bushy... and everyone else notes
that the model is a bit taller... (Click the image to see the original.)
A co-worker asked me to make a logo for his Quake III Clan. Now,
I know nothing about Quake III, but I came up with this, which I like
to think of as a
corporate symbol for a bank in Neuromancer...
Anthony wanted a logo for his domain, Zerospace,
so I came up with this
high-tech tabula rasa, although I think he tweaked with it in
GIMP later.
I also love to look at the images produced by others. Some are inspirations,
others just eye candy, but here are sites I visit when I need to look
upon beauty:
You'll find him linked elsewhere on my pages, but Jeff
Carlisle's photography isn't to be missed. I'm just a sucker for
anyone who can actually make me look good through a lens.
Hopefully, Ricky
will soon be in a photography program. I can't wait to see what he'll
do with the images he's shot around Europe. These are some of his
early photographs, and I think he's got a great future if he sticks
with it.
Shelly Corbett
shoots her models underwater, and captures the most amazing colors
and images. If you see her listed at a local festival, og see her
work; the images on her website don't even begin to do this work justice.
For that matter, she says that the small images she had at the Park
City Arts Festival didn't really do the work justice, as she usually
produces huge images which, she says, really makes the images take
on new meanings. I can't possibly afford her work, so links to her
page is the best I can do for now.
Geoffrey Nelson's
muted angel and fairy images are almost opposite of Shelly Corbett's,
but still beautiful. He uses a very muted palette, does a lot of hand
tinting, and produces shots that are pale, mysterious, and innocent.
His commercial images are wonderful, too -- more color and really
exciting ways of looking at technology.
