The works in this gallery are part photomanipulation, and part digital painting. I do all my work in Photoshop CS2, mostly using my own original photos. I don't use a graphics pad for painting, only a mouse. For my photography I use three different digital cameras; a Sony Cybershot, A Fujifilm FinePix (my personal favorite), and a Kodak DX3500 (great with color).

Attention Models and Photographers: If you would like to see your stock featured in my artwork, send me a note. If your work inspires me, I will be more than happy to create from your pics. I render my art for the love of beauty, and my own self-satisfaction; nothing more. Also, if you happen to be in my neighborhood, I would be happy to arrange a photoshoot with the right model (male or female).

Photomanipulators: If you would like stock images of my exclusive model and better half Allison Rose to use for your work, send me a note. If your work inspires me, I would be happy to let you use my stock. I have plenty of images to choose from, and can send you the image cut out as a png transparency.

Thank you all for your interest in my work, and if I add yours to my favorites, you're quite welcome. I only :: images that I find to be truly beautiful compositions done with skillful workmanship.

To those who have expressed a desire to "do what I do" with their art: You have the ability. What I do is spend a rediculous amount of time on each image. Just try it, you will be amazed at what 99% more perspiration can do with your inspiration. The only skill involved in my work is operating a mouse, and I've seen a quadrapelegic do that. I never finish any piece, I just call it finished when I grow weary of it, if it gives me some personal satisfaction (ego boost) to call it my art. By that time, I have usually undone most of what I have done. If it doesn't satisfy me, I scrap it or start over. I have more failed attempts on my hard drive than finished works of art, but I enjoyed every second of it.

Your's Truly,

Peter Andrew
