works. I really FAIL to believe that someone's sense of proportion and lack of
detail on the real thing are off, yet magically, he can take a digital pen and
create perfect work on his computer, right down to the last tiny spec of dirt
or misplaced hair on the coat. I don't buy it. I could take my $50.00 photo
program and make something that looks just like that with a tool called
"smudge" and some "special effects" if I was so inclined. Even if it was "real"
and I seriously doubt that it is, I would never pay $400-600 for something
someone printed out off of a computer. I would find someone with a less known
name who would do it cheaper, with the same quality or better.

prices that he is charging.

well, he's defnintely scanning in the originals and using
Photoshop or something like that to "artsy" them up. his
paintings pretty much suck, but some of the drawings aren't
too bad. he says his portfolio spans 20 years, but the
stuff on his site is what i'd expect from a 1st year art
student.
if you look at this guy's bio, he's a Bob Ross fan <G>.
there's not a thing wrong with that, but it helps to explain
his philosophy, i think. i didn't see any art education
listed, and from some of what he wrote i would assume that
he's self-taught (he referred to "wet-in-wet" [sic]
painting). considering that he's had no formal art
education, his stuff's not bad.
i just don't get the point of having a pet portrait made
from a photo. i've seen tons of pet portrait services where
the end product looks exactly like the original. what's the
point of that? you might as well just enlarge the photo and
get it matted and framed.

neither would I...but if anyone wants to, it's their bucks to waste. Some folks
get a kick out of having a big price tag on things...some have to have a big
name attached to their possessions...and others get a charge out of little
diamond-encrusted collars for miniature dust balls on legs...
Personally, I get off on bigger faster cooler tech stuff...if ya got the bucks
to spend on something, who cares what somebody else spends theirs on, as long
as it ain't causing harm to anyone? (the IQ-lowering power involved in such
purchases does not count)
And before any owners of minature dust balls on legs get upset, no, I don't
hate them...they're wonderful proof that God has a sense of humor :)

thing when it's something completely different. The thing about art is, when
you buy the "real" thing you can tell that someone did in fact actually paint
it, or draw it, and you can tell the exact medium and usually the style they
used. These are things printed out from a computer. There is NO proof that this
guy is in fact using his electronic pen (I have one of these, by the way) to
paint tiny "brush strokes" using some high tech software, and not just scanning
in a photo and messing around with it a bit using a cheap editing program. IF
it was true, sure, let anyone spend that kind of money on it if they like it.
But it's not.
