I’m attempting to create a composite project a week for a whole year
This week was quite challenging for me artistically. I tried to pull off a couple of ideas, and they just didn’t work. I tried quite a bit but it just wasn’t working. So in a bit of frustration, I started looking at the work of Sarolta Ban. Sarolta Ban is one of my absolute favorite […]

I tried my hand at a bit of a surreal piece and this is what I came up with. I called it “The Joker and the Thief” because in my head the dog in the bird cage was locked up for chasing the butterflies and when the Dalmation came to break him out with the

This is another angle of Mission Concepción I took during the same shoot. I took a similar path as yesterday, but I think I like this one much more. What do you think?

Welcome to Week 7! This was a rough week to get anything done. My girlfriend had a knee replacement so I have been on nurse duty since last Friday. This one took about 2 days to finish. I was inspired by a German artist who recently passed away named Billa Bozem. She was a truly

This week’s composite is from an old photo (2010) I took of this bridge over the San Antonio River on the Riverwalk. The original was almost all monotone except for a couple of places like the sign and the low brick post. The original photo is below so you can see what I started with

This week’s composite is another picture I took wandering around south of San Antonio. I added the cabin in after the fact and it was pretty dull color wise so I popped it out a little bit. There was quite a bit of work that went to this and I’m pretty proud of it!

I really kind of like how this turned out. I took this picture of an old house in Texas, South West of San Antonio several years ago. It got several textures and photoshop work and a final mood setting with Topaz Studio 2.

Week 3 is here! I don’t often do portraits for a number of reasons. I’m not very comfortable shooting them or getting people to pose for them. Also, I don’t seem to be as creative with a portrait as I am with other stuff. However this week I have ventured slightly outside my comfort zone

It seems the “Artist’s Way” exercises and some great jazz are having a good influence on me! I didn’t really have an idea of what to do when I sat down and started this one. I just sat down and put on Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue”, (probably the greatest jazz album ever made) and

Welcome to Week 1 of Project 52! The first project is called Easter Parade because that’s what (I believe) it started out with. The car with all the flowers is driven by my Great Grandfather with his wife in the passenger seat. My cousin and I are not clear on who the three girls in
