A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
ÂÂ
I have been drawing since I was 11, some 33 years ago.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Knoss, was a great artist and I greatly admired his illustrations. He encouraged me to pursue my artistic interests at a crucial time in my development.
My High School art teacher "Vern", was also a great influence. He always challenged me to try different things.
I was lucky that my parents were very supportive of my interest in art. I studied at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (1986-1990). Where I was humbled by many great artists that were far more talented than I. There it was that I rounded out my fine art skills, and then chose to major in Media Arts. Studied film, video and sound. Learned all the skills needed to shoot, direct, edit those mediums.
While pursuing a Media Arts major, I discovered computer graphics, still in it's infancy. This is where I came to an Epiphany. Here was a new medium, that incorporated everything I had previously learned into one new medium. Not only that, but it had new dimensions, interactivity, feedback, randomness, AI. I was hooked.
The next 17 years I learned and grew with the industry. Learning everything from how to create and manipulate digital imagery and create animations, to interface design and interactive authoring. My day job is an Information Architect, a fancy term for software interface design.
A few years back, my wife and I hit on some difficult times (As many people do) and it was during a very dark time in our lives that I discovered what became Renderosity, Initially I posted work, merely as a way to get myself back into the discipline of making new art.
I was delighted to find a world-wide community of talented artists, exchanging ideas and art!! I was thrilled! I have learned so much from you, and your art has brightened up my world. I am lucky to have made some great friends here, and I aim to do tributes to all of you!

Tried to do a "Top 40", but the system kept telling me I had used too many characters, even though it would also say 3998 used of 4096, 98 left... if I figure it out later, I will add the photos. ~ Peace ~

Vintage Digimon here! Sorry, but while watching this I had a strong urge to jump to my feet and shuffle to the nearest exit... But really, this shows what can be done with imagination and just basic text. Brilliant. On the negative side, I hope this isn't your way of preparing us for your departure into the wide blue yonder with Hopalong? :-) There's something so final about this, don't you agree?... Here's to the next 400!

Had to wake up Marlene there...why does she always fall asleep during the credits?!? ;oP Oh man, this was clever. I am so impressed, you have no idea. But Now I can't use this idea for my upcoming 800th, dang! I was laughing from frame 4 on. I watched it 3 times through. Now there is something you can't do in a theater. Too bad 512KB doesn't allow for a blooper reel. I kept expecting Ferris Bueller to come out and shoo us off after your final thank you. (love the furry creatures.) Here's to 400 more!!!
