jonnywax, I love those cold mountains. Someday I'll go live there. Here in the next week or two I'll do some ocean themed paintings - its a very important subject to me so I'll have to give it some thought. I'm honored that you are displaying some of this stuff - you're probably the first person to print my stuff off and hang it up (besides my grandma, hah!)
Jacques, I am indeed using Photoshop for all these, except that painting of an aardvark with red lines coming out of his back - which I painted mostly in photoshop but laid in that thick looking paint stuff in Painter XI. Hit me up anytime, we'll talk about Photoshop. I will tell you that mostly I get these textural effects by making custom brushes and messing around with their properites. Sometimes discovering a new brush I like will spawn a few paintings in and of itself.
Blastrid, I do not have a portfolio site as of yet (I'm working on it, I'm hoping that maybe I'll be able to find some kind of job related to this stuff...) However I've been posting most of the stuff you see here up on http://thechunder.googlepages.com the last couple weeks. In the future I'll get a site up with my drawings and stuff as well.
All of these pictures were painted actual size. I don't like to zoom in on the painting and paint just small areas - for some reason I have to see the whole thing all at once, so I tend to paint these things at a small resolution so I'm not even tempted to zoom in. That and my monitor is tiny. But I guess its better to have higher resolution pictures - more useful to others.
Here is another quick one, done in 1024x768:

adrug, the colors do all the work - thanks!

It is not only your colour harmonies, but also your loose, expressive strokes, oh man, I love it. Some of these are just so wonderful. I really can't wait to paint. Next year I get to paint every day in class for half a year. Im excited. You have inspired me.

michael_lifshitz, I'm glad you like some of these things. It pleases me greatly to know that you've been inspired - I love to share the empowerment of creativity with others. Enjoy your painting!

absolutely stunning work ... i can't wait to get my own wacom ... (which won't be until i buy myself a LEGIT version of the entire adobe suite)
i've been using cracks since i first started using PS years ago, and it'd feel real good to finally give em what they deserve ...
and again, wonderful use of color and experimental flow ... it seems that the farther away you get from yourself in art (or anything in life ...), the closer you'll end up being in the end

HB, I'd reccommend getting the biggest Wacom you can afford, and definitely get one of the Intuos line. You will not regret it at all.
It's so worth it to experiment with your skill....for me, its aobut finding a balance between refining what I already know and pushing myself into territory I'm not familiar with and forcing myself to struggle with new information and ideas. I fear stagnation deeply, and I'm always trying (sometimes in vain) to seek out new modes of creating/expressing. It's like how a plant will only grow so large in a certain sized pot, and only when its roots can escape the confines of the pot can it begin to reach its full potential.
Few more..

This stuff is unbelievable, I hope you don't mind me saving all these to my hard-drive. I am looking into getting back into art and this stuff is awe inspiring. Your use of colors is just amazing and simplistic. Something about it just gives me the chills
-------------------- "People living deeply have no fear of death." "Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love." "Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings."

David_vs_Goliath, I'm happy my meanderings have brought you some pleasure and inspiration. Onward, into art!
I'm intrigued with simple shapes lately...
I'm also fascinated by forms that seem to be writing of some kind, but are actually meaningless forms. The thought of these things gets me extremely excited, I'm going to explore them more in the future...
