Artwork in any form, is
something I have always been in awe of. The things some people can do
with their hands is amazing enough, but to imagine how they envision it
is another thing all together. To hold a vision of an image and
recreate that image in the form of 2D or 3D artwork just blows me away.
I seem to be lacking this talent though and this is why my main medium
is Digital Art.
I have
played with a lot of computer programs over the years and found that The
Gimp
does everything I need to do and more. In fact after years of playing
with the program, I have only begun to scratch the surface of it's
versatility. Best of all it runs on my favorite operating system, Puppy
Linux.
My latest Creations
are the
artworks for the New Album. I struggled with using some Public Domain
for the base until I spent some time in my older photo albums and found
a photo I had taken of myself while on a Medicine Walk. With only a few
effects
and some simple shadowed text I had pretty much what I needed. I liked
it so well I used some of it here on the website too.
Most of the artwork I create is for friends and consists of manipulated stock images or photos I have taken with text attributes and multiple layers. I do have fun playing though. I have a growing gallery at deviantart.com
I also have an account at Photobucket and I am willing to guess that by now you can find it without a link. If you really need one then let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
