Memory Portraits, Editing Portfolio

To Pam and David, thank you so much for taking the time to look at my work! For your convenience I have assembled a portfolio highlighting editing and photo-manipulation work, while including representative examples of my artistic and freelance work to give you the most well-rounded picture possible. Clicking each image will bring up a larger version.

PHOTO-MANIPULATION: These pieces all feature heavily manipulated photography. Most photography is my own, occasionally I use properly licensed stock photos.

in the tradition of the medieval still life with a skull mixed in as a reminder of mortality

PHOTO EDITING: For these jobs I added, removed, or reconstructed elements such as people, flags, carriages, grates, and buildings, as well as correcting colors and removing glare and haze from imperfect scans and photographs and applying artistic filters.

PORTRAITS FROM PHOTOS: For family portraits I frequently work from faded or low-rez photos. I use the photos for proportional reference and then tablet-paint the portraits in 16×20 print resolution, adding colors and artistic touches of my own.

A colorful blimp depicting a field of flowers hovers above a dirty, impersonal colorless city. Environmental statement.
A deep-sea diver rests in a bathtub surrounded by dry fields as far as the eye can see, contemplating a broken and torn billboard showing glimpses a mermaid.
Also known as Entropy, a depiction of a exploding world where the sun and moon ringed with a jumble of dissolving city forms hover in the middle of a cosmic storm.
