Here's some of my artwork.
My Art

I'm also learning to tattoo but can't figure out how to attach an image from my computer on here. I see no link for .jpegs from a computer, only youtube and weblinks. If anybody knows how to do that then I can post the tattoos I've been doing on "practice skin". I think tattooing will be great because I get to do my art and only have to work with 1 person at a time and no "schmoozing" with gallery owners, art lovers, etc. I had one art show years ago, got a lot of positive feedback and even a full color spread in the art section of the local paper but couldn't handle the social aspect of the opening. This will, hopefully, work better for me.

Hey^^ I like the inventiveness of most of your art, I kind of liked the Bathing one, although it reminded me more of being out in some other time or place. Maybe calling it "Cosmic SceneScape", would have had a better meaning.

Don't worry, I can never post single pictures I've taken and, pixling them can be a pain.

This one is good, but it gave me the afterlife effect I might not want to envisage myself in at this stage..

If you look closely at "bathing" you'll see that the land forms are actually a woman in water.

Empathy - thank you for looking at my art and I hope that nobody tries to use it for their own advantage. I posted it for enjoyment and entertainment and personal reasons. It sounds like you see the skull in that image so I have to ask, do you see the two people as well? The living part of the image? The rivers, too, are alive but one must imagine life, sometimes, to see it, no?

Thnx Bill - can u tell me what you like, exactly? Or don't like. I appreciate hearing other people's views (and that took me MANY years and much reflection and practice to learn to do) so giving me your opinion helps support my work.

Bathing is not something that comes to my mind and I don't paint, I prefer photographic landscapes but the detailing is good.

My imagination, is detailed and positioned enough to serve my own purposes and by afterlife, I was leaning towards a serene destination but it also blend with a few cosmic images that is probably more ethereal than what I imagined.

Y'know, it's kind of hard to put into words about how it touches me, save to say that the use of color and imagery evokes something visceral within me.

Hi, I really like your art. I like the use of clouds and different colours to create a beautiful effect. You can upload pictures to tinypic.com and copy the URL they give you.

I like it!
It gives me a lot of memories from where I was born, even though I've never seen your art before this.
Your mountain paintings have a nice 'atmosphere'.

Yes - I make money at it. It's great because I can interact with clients mostly over email and, when I do have to meet up with them, I only have to deal with one person at a time (usually).
