hi guys just like to introduce myself.

i havent posted a pic of my work here as there are just soooo many in my photo galleries and more to be added soon. so head on to my profile and check them out.

i work in water mixable oil paints on canvas faced boards. Main work is portraits of people and animals.

started painting about 6 years ago when looking for something to occupy my mind after becoming disabled with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Ouch. I'll def check out those paintings, your history makes them sound like they could have a nice personality to them.

In relation to art, I love to draw stuff on PowerPoint and rave about how incredibly overrated Chagalls are.

Art by Chagall.  It's stuff that some people call "great art."  It looks ugly...  and then you ask the people what "hidden meaning" they find in it...  and they look at you like they're both confused and offended.

hello.  all digital work here.  some photography, some photo-manipulation, some neo-supremist work.  i hate self classification, but if i had to pick a category, that's where my last project fell.

Greetings!

I do paintings in Photoshop, usually, though I also do oil on canvas.  My portfolio is here. http://lnilstriaportfolio.yolasite.com/  Wierdly enough, putting a PSD file into a JPG darkens it drastically.  I wonder why that is.  Anyway...I usually paint people, horses, birds, or wolves, though I've drawn much more then that.

Glad to be here!
