I graduated from college in 1980 with a fine arts background in painting. I've sold many paintings and etchings and even mixed media drawings throughout my college days in the late 70s and through out the 80s. I started doing digital art in the early 90s. I create digital artwork for CD's and Book cover illustrations in my spare time. I do promo & production animations and medical illustrations for my day job at WABC-TV for a living.
At this stage of my life I have in the last 15 years found what I believe to be the best way to express my personal art outside of painting. I work in many different applications. I use Cinema 4d 10.x for all my modeling, scene layout, lighting and rendering. I also use Modo from Luxology. As much as I love to model and create a scene in a 3d program, I always finish up in After Effects applying any special effects that I need to composite and then in Photoshop with any final touch ups and color adjustments.
