Since this site is geared more towards those that don't have access to sophisticated programs such as those,  simple photos
can be sent to me and we can work together to bring across great results to expose to the world.   The  whole  concept of this
website is to help promote people that seem to have a very difficult time promoting themselves and it  can  also  be  great  for
therapeutic reasons. Therapy for those that want to escape to a realm that will never judge what they do, how they  do  it  and
why they are doing it.  
In  the  'Nightranger'  I  have applied the  same technique
and once again  after  saving  the  file  several  times  as  a
'TIFF'  file,  I  had  finished  the  piece  and  saved  it  as  a
'JPEG' only to re-open  the file later and finish it with text.  
 While  several  of  my  own  art  piece's  are  done  in  this
fashion, most  of  my  work  is   just   plain   old   fashioned  
paper, paint, ink or pencil  using  either  illustration  board,
canvas or just plain old typing paper.

It does not matter if you sketch  on  the  back  of  a  cereal
box. No one should ever  look  down  on  your  talents  and
judge your own  creations.  The  countless  times  that  you
have doodled anywhere that you could  find,   could  finally
pay off for you.  I have  no  clue  at  all  as to  how  far  this
site could go but I at least  want  to  give  many  people the
opportunity  to  express   themselves.    I   am  hoping  for  
others to volunteer advice to those that  surely  need  it  in
order to pursue their own dreams.

There is going to be such a wide range of talent that I want
to one day see make it successfully out there in the world.  
This site  will  cater to many diverse fields, in the beginning
there will be pages  for  artists,  writers,  crafters ,  models,
designers, sculptors, poets and stylists.  Depending  on  the
demand  for this site,  I   would like to be  able  to  cater  to
musicians, singers, dancers, etc.  All  with  streaming  video
for everyone to see.
The opportunities are endless and I pray that at least one person out there can see the need for such a concept and that we
could all help support those that are not as fortunate. Right now entries are being asked for and  after  review  and  careful
decisions as to who would end up successfully making the first launch of 'Realms of Dreams' only then when it will be much
easier to determine the direction that this will head in.
As you can see,  most  of  my  work is very colorful and with very dramatic backgrounds that I really try  to  keep  subdued
because it is always my intention to keep ones focus on the main subject.   Upon studying my  pictures  you  will  see  many
flaws  such  as the use of  perspectives,  color  coordination, improper inking etc.  

Even though I am aware of most flaws, I am not aware of all of them ,  but  so  what!  Who  cares?
  The  point  is,   I   have
enjoyed creating them and enjoy looking at them from time to time.  Art is my own personal form
of therapy.  It relaxes me
after  a  hard day  of   work  and  can  be  fun  sometimes.   I really  enjoy  watching  the  works  
of  other artists  and  I  try
and visualize what they see.
In this page I've uploaded a  penciled  sketch  and  by  
combining colored  pencils  with   
Adobe    Photodeluxe   (my  
favorite because it is very user friendly)  I have used several
methods to  manipulate  the original and work it until I am
satisfied with the results.  Noting  that as I worked with the  
picture  I  would  always  save  it  under  a   'TIFF'  file  
instead  of  a   'JPEG'   allowing   me   to   retain   much   of  
the original appearance and quality.     After  the  picture is  
finished   I would switch to saving it as a 'JPEG' and then use  
a  different  font program to add text.

On this site I have created a special section  for  the  
fantasy-horror -sci-fi buffs that  I  will call   "THE  JUPITER  
FILES",   in  this  area warped and creative juices will flow.  
Everytime the  site  is  updated  people  will  get  to  view  and
 vote  on  artists   submissions   and   the  favorite   will   be  
the  cover  page   for   this   section.    The   name  'Jupiter
File'   will  be placed on  the  winning   piece  much  like  the
sample you see here in order  to   replicate  an   actual   
magazine   or  novel  cover  for those that aspire to be cover
artists.  Since it is the  easiest   format  for  me  to   work   
with,    JPEG    files   are  encouraged more so than others
especially if your used  to  working  with   more complex
programs such as
ILLUSTRATOR or PHOTOSHOP.
Many  of  these  images  are  of   my   own   collection.      Many    have    been    sold   to  private collectors. I
have done 3-d murals, business card's and flyer's.   I   love   to  work with those that  are  more   interested   in
creativity  and   fun  than  those  that  are  more  interested  in  the  value  or  social   standing   of  a  particular
artist.   I   have  spent   years   trying  to reach that  so   called  social standing and have  realized that   I  don't
even care to be there.   At  the end of the day all I   want   to   do   is   just   create.     This   website  showcased  
all  of  my  own  pieces  but  in  the  future  my  concentration  will  be   to  help  launch  the  careers  of  others.
