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
