I received a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet as a gift for Christmas and of course I was very eager to give it a try. This is my first Pen Tablet and so far I have spent just a few hours literally playing around and just getting used to working with the device. It is all very new to me, but I think I am starting to slowly become more acclimated to this more natural input device. I can definitely see this as the right tool for any type of graphic design or artistic creation, but I know I need more time to get over some of the mental barriers that are a result of having used a mouse for so long.

Well not really a city of gold per say, yet a period treatment applied to the image resulting in something classic, something more distinctive. Light, shadow, scratches, and film grain all added to bring about this perspective. The setting here is that of beautiful downtown Indianapolis, Indiana looking south from Monument Circle.

This is 11th Street, do you recognize it? Well more precisely it is a sign for 11th Street residing in downtown Indianapolis, IN. This work is based off an image I took this past July while in Indy for the NASCAR race. I liked the perspective of the shot as well as the all the little details contained within and decided to create the following work from it.

A good friend of mine has recently launched a new website, Bella Casa Portraits dot com, and I wanted to help spread the word. The site is run by Tracy VonGruben, a very talented artist and all around wonderful person. Given that I have had the pleasure of viewing some of her work first hand I am excited to be able to share this with everyone as a way to help promote her talents.

Hello fellow Flickr friends! I just wanted to take a brief moment to share with you a Flickr group that I was recently made aware of and of which I believe is worth your time. “1 Million” is a group that is all about taking the simplest efforts on the part of a wonderful online community, that of joining a Flickr group and posting an image, to perhaps in turn make the lives of those less fortunate a bit more favorable.
