Some early digital imagery

Enjoyed learning the process of digital imagery immensely. I began to look at paintings that were in my mind as possible inspiration for my computer creations. This piece blends conceptual elements surrounding the beauty of the ocean with the history of our sea faring excursions. I find that often the very presence of tragedy or deep historical relevance amplifies the beauty that compliments it both conceptually and aesthetically.


Prehistory has always been a fascination of mine. How magnificent would it be to have a train that runs through the entire length of time? We could view all of it in sequential order, from the comfort of the dining car...


Back to the ships theme, I also enjoyed creating this ghost ship and the calm world it floats through. The ocean and its magnitude, force, and permanence all inspire me. But the people lost to its whims remind me of natures cruel indifference. This ship, however, seems to me to be at ease.
