Visit our Etsy shop....

After watching the Etsy.com site for some time, I finally am getting around to opening an Etsy shop of my own. Please visit and check out all the cool stuff on Etsy.

Stock Backgrounds: Urbanite

One of the first projects created with my latest technique was/is a series of backgrounds called the Urbanite collection. Calling to mind weathered and degraded urban walls, etc., these images are available for download on Lulu.com.

Skateboards

In my younger days, I loved to skateboard, and of course, I was way into the graphics. Unfortunately, my love of skating exceeded my abilities, and also my body's ability to take a pounding, so there was no pro career to be had, and I had to stop doing it on a regular basis.

In comes boardpusher.com, an on-demand fulfillment company specializing in skateboard decks. I get to fulfill a teenage dream and put my art on decks, and boardpusher.com hosts a store and fills orders for me. If nothing else, I have now seen my work on a skateboard.

Check them out. They are a lot of fun to create, and for you skaters, they should be fun to ride.

Finally Fish....

With the arrival of summer here on the North Carolina coast, and after repeated requests, I have turned my eye to a prevalent local subject: Fish. It really is amazing how many fish there are in the species, and it is great fun trying to capture the essence of as many different ones as I can. The plan is to make 40+ images of fish, and it will take a while, but these images have been very popular so far in our brick and mortar shop, the Golden Gallery, so that is at least some incentive to continue with the series.

This series uses a technique I developed over the years involving a dirty scanner and some windex. I can reveal no more, or I risk giving away trade secrets. Suffice to say, it is a lot of fun to use this technique, and I have been very happy with the results.
