I am working very hard on digital creations now. I haven't painted anything in 2 or 3 years because I just lost interest in paint brushes. But this digital stuff is getting the creative juices flowing again. I sold some paintings in the past but never one for that kind of money.

I am working on an image now that has taken 4 months so far. If you don't know anything about Photoshop, you wouldn't get the process. Its 261 layers so far and basically what that means is, I have had to create 261 seperate images to make this one. That one picture file right now takes up more memory than the entire hard drive on my last computer. Here is PART of it

The main part of the aquarium is actually the woods behind my house. There is a sunken ship in there that wasn't really sunk until I got a hold of it. There are two dolphins and 14 other fish. I shot Tiffany and Dillon twice.. once facing me for the reflection and once facing away from me. The two mermaids are only there for the time being. I have two ladies who are going to pose for the real mermaid shots and I'll insert them when the time comes. Everything about the aquarium and building was hand made by me. Its actually much bigger than this, with a statue of Venus on the left and Poseidon on the right but to see it on a computer monitor, everything is too small.

I am making this image for one reason: to win best in show at this years Image Maker's competition in September.
