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.
