The current artworks on this site are some combination of painting, photography, drawing, digital manipulation and resin on MDF board. Photographic sources may be reused, but each work is original and one-of-a-kind. No prints or copies are produced. The archives section displays older (and generally no longer available) works in a variety of styles and media. The blog is not a "current events" blog, but a personal art project. A twitter feed features new works and occasional news.
The site is designed, built and maintained entirely by the artist using Apple Computers: A 1.33 GHz iBook running Mac OS X 10.5.6, and a 1.83 GHz iMac running Mac OS X 10.4.11. Site maintenance is done with Komodo Edit v5.2.4. Image editing by Adobe Photoshop CS4. Blog platform by WordPress. Photographs captured with Nikon and Sony digital cameras and an Apple iPhone, and printed on an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer, using Epson inks and matte papers. Photo transfers use Lazertran papers.
