  • Acanthus

    Acanthus is a detailed photo illustration of a fantasy forest nymph that combines artistic stock photography with complex illustration and photomanipulation. The rich colours were inspired in part by the namesake 19th century wallpaper design by William Morris. Acanthus has been a popular design that has been featured on Artician.com as well as the Behance Network. Similar creative illustrations have been commissioned for various high profile clients.

  • Remembering my childhood

    I wanted to create a textured piece filled with emotion and light trying to convey a time in my life that was carefree and joyous. This piece is all about using color and textures and I urge you, if you feel daring, to try your own colors and textures and create something really unique to you. Create something that makes you reminisce about your own childhood. Expect this to be a little time consuming – not too bad – but enough to practice getting tones and light just so. Try to pay attention to texture detail – placing it in the right places, so as to add to your picture. Sometimes
    this is what can make or break a picture. If you put too much, it will take away from what you are trying to achieve. Just the right amount can make it perfect for the emotion you are trying to convey in the picture. Have fun!

  • The art of Typography

    Not so long ago, typography was an art confined to a restricted group of scholars who worked on the old type foundries, demanding specific knowledge to understand its complex design procedures and a high artistic sensibility to capture the subtle way of how the letter and its spaces interact. In addition, it required from the typographer not only special skills in the handling of different fonts, sizes and text boxes, but also great patience and dedication, once the arduous process of making a piece took days, even weeks.

  • Old Photo Restoration

    This is a short tutorial about restoring heavily damaged or very old photos. This tutorial will show you how to do simple things such as removing scratch marks, cloning, and blending missing parts of the damaged photo, and will also cover the entire process of the restoration of old photography. Some time ago, I was approached by my family to restore an old photograph of my deceased grandfather. It was small picture from an
    old passport and was extremely damaged: Parts of the face and head were missing. I scanned the image using the highest possible resolution I could on my desktop scanner and proceeded to fix the image and restore it to its former glory.

  • Jane Doe

    I have to say… I am a huge comic books fan. I started working on this image after watching the latest Batman – the Dark Knight movie once too many times. Like a lot of viewers, I love the Joker, but I did not want to do a simple portrait of the film’s character. I decided early on I would try to put my own spin on the subject. Since this image was made just for fun, I gave myself the liberty of blending the Dark Knight’s Joker catch phrase: Why so serious? to a character from another of my favorite DC stories (the Jane Doe character from Arkham Asylum: Living Hell). I started wondering what would happen if Jane Doe wanted to mimic the Joker? I am sure that story would end badly, but it gave me a starting point for the image which I felt comfortable with!!

  • Sleepyheads

    Unlike in my previous digital illustrations, I wanted to use heavily textured brush strokes with a loose attitude; while trying to capture the sense of realism as much as I could. This illustration is firmly based on a photograph; however, it is painted from scratch on a white canvas and not on the photograph itself.

  • Painting with Photoshop

    I am always amazed when people ask me “you paint with Photoshop?” The concept of using Photoshop as a painting tool should be an easy one to grasp. For one thing Photoshop comes equipped with a plethora of paintbrushes. Another hint is the fact that the workspace is called a canvas. The fact is Photoshop is the most powerful tool out there for creating elements of an image or the entire image from scratch.
