I have owned two graphic arts-related businesses for more than forty years, in which I/we design, manufacture, and market worldwide, products for the Giftware Industry as well as doing extensive custom work for Fortune 500 and other Premiums and Incentives Markets. In addition to decades of Large Format film and Full Frame Digital photography and processing, I have extensive experience using 2D CAD programs to translate artwork into Vector drawing files for use in digital cutting machines like Waterjets, Lasers, Flat Bed plotters & Cutters, etc.. With over 6000 hours using Photoshop® (version 1 through version CC 2018), my projects of choice are those which involve compositing images using Photoshop® and FantaMorph™. My passion is to produce a final product with photographic detail, yet with the painter's ability to "rearrange reality" to fit an idea... I tend to like mostly desaturated colors, B&W and monochrome, although I do love HDR images and similar hypersaturated colors, especially when used judiciously and for a reason, like in a lipstick ad where the B&W woman has bright red lips. I am open to any project which is a photo or graphic based design, for almost any use. As an "outside the box" thinker, my ideal is to create images which catch people`s attention in a way they didn't expect, and make them smile and make them think! hide
