Some of you may not know it, but Ive been called by a few prominent makers, Pic-Makin Bastid for some of the pics Ive done as jokes, and I like the name. I spend time playing around in PhotoShop like some guys spend time playing video games. Only my playing around has made me a few friends and even earned me a few knives for my collection. I dont have a website, but Ive had a PhotoPoint site for some time and Ive had over 25,000 hits. Not too shabby for somebody just playing around. My newest album is a portfolio of the work Im most proud of and Id like to show it off.
My Portfolio
I was a photographer for many years, but you wont see any of my photographs here. My knives that were used in these illustrations were all done with an inexpensive flatbed scanner. I do use other peoples photographs of knives and add backgrounds and type. My goal is to make the viewer look at the knives. I want my illustrations to have depth and to come off the page. If I can make you feel like you can or want to pick them up Ive succeeded.
Ive tried to share what I know about photography and image editing with everyone who has asked. Theres nothing I like better than to see great pics of great knives, and I dont see it as being hard to learn or expensive to get started. So, I hope youll take a look and I encourage your comments and questions here.
While youre visiting my album page if you could click on the link Add Comment To Guest Book (upper left corner) and say something there I would appreciate it.
