Some Other Recent Works

Just a small collection of images which were created from scratch, using Adobe CS2.
Hopefully you will enjoy at least one of them.
Please feel free to comment using the function at the foot of the post.
Thanks for looking.

Dining With Dali (digital)
A playful (but hopefully respectful) homage.





Life and Death (digital)
A somewhat introspective journey, which I still find a little disturbing.





Torment (digital)
Another piece of introspective self-expression





Titanic (digital)
Visions of chaos and confusion/terror.





The Memorial House at Aix (digital)
Created at the request of and inspired by a piece of poetry, written by the love of my life.





A Midsummer Nights Dream (digital)
A pure flight of fantasy.





Pillar of Contempt (digital)

A simple exercise in composition

Reclamation by Decay


Reclamation by Decay (click on image to enlarge)


They say that if mankind should disappear from this world, the last monument to his existence will be the Hoover Dam. But after a few thousand years even that will crumble to the forces of nature.
This is not the Hoover Dam, just my representation of simple bricks and mortar after not so many years exposure.
All comments, complimentary or murderous, are of course welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Tech Info:
Medium : Digital
Software : Adobe CS2
Print size : 60 x 42 inches
(Original) Image resolution : 150 ppi (9000 x 6300 pixels)
(Original) File size : 16.8mb @ 1Mbs

Incidentally:
Working on such a large scale in CS2 is not advisable. Having struggled to save the original image, the software appears incapable of opening the file again (insufficient RAM), and I was forced to rely upon Windows Paint to create a reduced size copy for loading here. Any suggestions as to how to overcome the problem within CS2 would be appreciated.
