One of the things I enjoy as a source of decompression and personal creativity in my life is digital illustration. I am a terrible failure as a painter and gave it up quite some time ago in college, but the desire to take an image beyond the expected and into the confines of the heart still drives me. Classic Dutch painters like Rembrandt and twentieth-century American painters such as Maxfield Parrish and Andrew Wyeth are a few of my classic influences. Combining those influences with modern-day culture and trends in the area of advertising, commercial photography and photojournalism where I have at much of my professional experience has equipped me with the influences and ability to achieve some of my personal creative goals as an artist. One of my favorite quotes is from Andrew Wyeth, “I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it… I always want to see the third dimension of something… I want to come alive with the object.” For me, I think he is addressing the physical environment of texture and dimension which, in the digital age, is something I continually make an effort to maintain. From time to time I will be posting images in the category of “Personal Creative Work” to share with you my personal projects for everyone to enjoy and comment on.
