Daily Deviation!

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 1, 2008, 4:54 AM
Well what a wonderful surprise to wake up to today, I received a Daily Deviation feature for:



Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to take a look and thanks for all the lovely comments!

Just to let you know I am working on a second painting. It's been rather delayed by my photographic work (I've some new photos to post up which I'm doing over the next few days). But I hope to publish my next painting in the next month or two, so stay tuned.

Thanks for visiting!

Digital Art Debut

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 18, 2007, 1:52 PM
Well it's finally finished, or at least to the point that I'm feeling confident enough to publish. My very first ever piece of painted digital art, Scrambled Egg - Faerie Forest :

Scrambled Egg Faerie Forest

It's not perfect, but it's a starting point and hopefully the first of many!

Master Of Mañana

Over a year since I last posted, has it really been that long? /blush

Well I did say the spirit of mañana burned strong in me ... a bit too strong it seems. I keep meaning to post some new work up but I've been busy with some web design projects until recently and not had so much time to devote to my artwork and photography. But I've been working on a big digital painting using Painter IX which I hope to be able to post here very soon. Plus I just got back from a holiday in Cornwall and despite the awful weather (which reminded me of my time living in Scotland) I managed to capture some interesting photos, some of which I'll share here in the next few days and weeks. Really I will! :)

All the best
Martin

Taking the plunge

Journal Entry: Sun Apr 23, 2006, 8:26 PM
Well I finally got round to taking the plunge and created a DA account after mucho lurking. Only had time to post my first Deviation tonight, but there'll be more in the coming days and weeks so please do check back.

To introduce myself, I live in London, UK and I'm a web/graphic designer & photographer. I've been doing design and photography for a long time now, but only relatively recently started making some tentative steps into digital art in my spare time. I stress tentative as I'm the Master of Manana and a bit of a stickler for detail, which isn't an ideal combination for getting anything actually finished :slow:

Cheers
Martin
