JohnZ;
I've been using photoshop in a work setting (nothing even remotely titilating) for around a dozen years. Since V25 I've been familiar with the filters and such and for a long time I've been pretty blasé about Photoshop art. I keep seeing the same crap over and over... lots of overused graphic clichés and effects. I'm just plain bored I guess.
Your work, however has given me hope for this art form. I'm extremely impressed by what you've posted here. This is not just because I love the subject matter (which, of course I do) but you've done some tasteful, inventive, appealing stuff. I usually only get this feeling trudging through a gallery...not staring at my computer screen. Good work!
Thank you for posting and keep at it!
