hi all,
been playing around and put up a website of some of my composites. Would like to get some feedback/suggestions. I enjoy doing these but not sure if they can be used for anything other than keeping me from watching to much television while I work on them.

from the cute little kitty artwork on the front, I wasn’t expecting to see such "dark" visions, but I loved your artwork. nice retouching too
must ask if those are your dogs?

Nice work Michael. Only comment that I have is related to the Website navigation. Once one goes into the gallery (in my case through the thumbnails ), it’s nice to be able to click "Next" to move along. However, the placement of that nav button changes, depending on the size/shape of the picture. I wanted to just look closely at the image, and not have to look away to find where the "Next" button is located. Small quibble, and maybe if the images were not so arresting, I would never have noticed.

I agree with Hunt on the navigation. It’s too easy to end up in the thumbnails area, with no idea of where to go next to see the rest of the images.

I also question having any images marked "Failure". You’ve got plenty of good images there – no need to show the ones you don’t like. —

OOPs…I think i sent the unfinished email by mistake
as I was saying..I do’nt like distorted faces as a subject matter and am not a fan of Munch..I think that is the name of the artist , BUT, your work, creativity and use of Photoshop is admirable. Nice job.

As for what to do with them…….I went to the ARTExpo at the Javits center last weekend and saw a few photographers there. The one booth that had the most activity (sales) was the booth of a photogrpapher who manipulated black and white images into surreralistic works of art. A large print, I think 20×24 was selling for somewhere in the neighborhood of $850. Unlike a lot of photo gallery work I go see, this was not crap. These were well executed, flawless images exhibiting a creative mind. Yours are as well. So, to answer your query as to what to do with them.. I would begin investigating selling them. I would buy one now if the price is right and the size is right also. I am running out of wall space.

As for the one marked "Failure"…I took it to be a definer imbedded in the image to further explain the emotion of the tormented face….I didn’t take it as a qualifier of a work that didn’t "make it". So, Mike..what was it…LOL…a botched piece or "failure" was part of the work.

Could be! LOL. Some of the images reminded me of H.R. Geiger more than Munch – unsettling modifications of existing photos. Good stuff though, and the idea of offering prints, perhaps online, is an interesting one.
