"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."

My Art

I am still a novice digital art maker. I am no where near the talent level of many online designers but I continue to learn and grow with each week. Learning Photoshop, Vegas, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc... is great fun for me and it took me until my late 20's to learn that this is what I'd truly like to do with my life. I hope you will see continued improvement out of me, as I hope to gain a level of competence that will allow me to pursue this as a full-time career. Of course, most of the items on this site are just for pure fun!

Art Navigation

Music Videos - these are music videos based on tv shows edited by myself. This is rapidly becoming my very favorite hobby although it is highly time consuming and can be tough to learn (which you'll notice by my videos...)
Wallpapers - a collection of wallpapers for your desktop. Themes mostly include my fandoms and are available in multiple sizes.
Icons - a collection of avatars based on my fandoms or stock images. These are great for use on livejournal, forums or any other website which allows icon uploading. Most are 100x100 px but you will find a small collection of larger sizes.
Headers - headers (or sometimes called "banners") are by far my favorite fan art medium to work in. They are large enough to allow more creativity than icons but small enough to keep it simple for those who worry about "overdoing it" (like me!). There are a few sizes.
Friends Only Signs - these are smallish graphics for Livejournal users to display signifiying that their posts are "friends locked" meaning only people they approve can read their journal. Very useful and a quick way to add a little personalization to your journal.
Signature Bars - my second favorite fan art medium. Sig bars are used in forums to add more personalization to your posts. These are often called "Color Bars" or "Love Bars"as well and used in general graphic areas, such as Livejournal profiles. Again, it is mostly my fandoms in this collection.
LJ Mood Themes - these are wonderfully fun graphics you use on livejournal to express your moods. LJ offers this service to it's paid members.
Photography - pictures taken by myself with a Kodak Z740. This section isn't very large yet but I hope to put some serious time into learning great photo techniques soon. Some pictures have had photoshop enhancement.
Awards - a sampling of the livejournal awards I've won for my fanart.
