I didn’t get much done today. Everything I tried was a dead end. To give myself a small sense of accomplishment I made this image for mileage. The best part is watching the colors and textures overlap and interact.
It has been awhile since I have created an image for my blog. I was working in my office yesterday and saw an old copper plate that I used for a dry point etching. I scanned the back of it…

As a child, my bicycle was the ultimate feeling of freedom. It was pre-helmet days and I loved the wind in my hair while riding down the sidewalk feeling the bump of each new section. Bump-bump, Bump-bump, Bump-bump. Because it…

There is always a box of glass bottles left as an inheritance for posterity. They are kind of cool and seem to have some value and so the very dusty bottles are passed on from one attic to the next…and…
This painting was done as an experiment in a workshop that I went to last week. As everyone should know three humps are for crossing longer deserts. This camel should be spelled cammmel. The workshop was with Kevin Hawkes at…
I like to watch pixels change color on the screen. It is much better than TV and it is very relaxing. Oasis is an experiment simulating pastels. The process uses a brush with an applied texture. The scale of the…
I am trying a new process that uses ink washes. Next semester I will be teaching the digital illustration class and I am working on some new possibilities.
I am not a painter, but here is my attempt at oil paint in Photoshop (with some tips from Dan)
This experiment involves four layers: a white background layer, cyan, magenta, and yellow. The three color layers are set to multiply (mode). It was interesting trying to construct an image by creating each color separately.
I am experimenting to see if I can reproduce some of the techniques of printmaking in Photoshop. This is my attempt at a reduction print.
I am always experimenting with new digital processes. For this process I scanned in a gesso texture and applied the texture to Adobe Photoshop brushes. I have included the complete composition and a close up.
