Artist | Hobbyist | Digital Art

Canada

I am a semi-professional graphic designer that works both on website and in print.

My main artistic and creative interests are bookbinding, photography, photo manipulation, vector art and traditional art.

For my digital art, I do not have a favorite subject. Anything can happen. I usually go through phases, where I will tend to focus on one subject but once the options have been exhausted, I move on to another subject. I mostly work in Photoshop and Illustrator. I also really like to use Painter 11 but I often give up on it because it seems so slow, especially at high resolutions.


In photography, my favorite subjects are the small stuff in nature and urban photography. I also often shoot photos for the purpose of using them in manipulations. I use a Nikon and would not give it up for anything else.

In my traditional works, I like to use acrylics or watercolor. I also like to do watercolor monoprinting. Traditional works have taken a back seat to digital art lately and I am not very active in it. It is so much easier to work on the computer. No clean-up, No mess. However, when I do paint, my favorite subjects are figurative paintings or abstract works.
