I take my inspiration from Light and Nature - although I've experienced many artistic media and find a certain interest in the media themselves. To me, even RGB pixels which are supposed to be just representational are given life by the fact that they live on a color monitor, and are "consumed" by someone else. It is this relationship which I explore: tangible media consumed for an unknown variety of reasons by the subject. To me, the medium is less important than the choices made about it.
My favorite artistic applications are Reflective Photography, 3D Animation, Sharpie Maker on Bond Paper, "Hand" painted illustrations via mouse, Oil Pastel/Chalk Layers, Paint on Leather, Electromagnetic Chromatography, Kaleidoscopic Art, Plastics, Portraiture, Landscapes, Abstract Art, Expressionistic Art, Performance Art
If you really consider what I've said about art, my viewpoint takes for its true subject the observer. This diverges from Pure Art at first glance; however, I find Art to be a communication medium, and without some kind of relationship between the observer and the observed I believe there ceases to be communication at all.
In my work, whether it is design, photography, advertising, or web applicatiions, I seek to honor this relationship between the person who consumes the media, and the media itself- even if I bend, twist, or otherwise warp their perspective, I am fully aware that it exists :)
