Graphics & Art

I have been making marks and drawing for as long as I can remember. I started out with traditional mediums and once I became involved with computers, I became a 'spinner of webs' and learned about digital artwork for the websites I created. Lately I have been returning to traditional art from time to time just to re-learn those techniques and of course for relaxation as my hand makes marks. My favorite is still graphite.

Below you will find some select examples of my workss and if you are interested in discussing any of them, please contact me.

Digital Artwork:

Whether the artwork starts as a fully composed work in my mind, or as a happy accident while working in the digital ether, I have come to enjoy a medium that requires very little preparation or clean-up. I start with my ideas for composition and subject matter, throw in some scanned original sketches and/or photos do my work in Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator, and have even enhanced my images with various AI programs for upscaling, post-processing and for inspiration. Enjoy.

Traditional Artwork:

Some of my artwork is just for fun, some has been for specific purposes. The Czech costumes you see below were a series of prints made for the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library back in it's infancy.

Time and moves throughout the country have made it difficult to keep up with my pieces. More items will be added as I discover them, or as I create them.
