New TreZ E-Commerce Page Online
by Photog on May.16, 2012, under gallery updates, News
The e-commerce page for my TreZ collection is now fully operational. You can order any of the series in any size you can imagine and we will produce it for you – usually within about 2 weeks.
After the page was finished I realized I’d left our 3 new TreZ from the listing. But that is now rectified!
So here’s the page link from which you can view the entire library and place orders in 5 different sizes of Limited as well as Unlimited Editions.

A Diamond Vortex Installation
by Photog on Apr.11, 2012, under Exhibitions, Instructional, News, Recommendations
To illustrate the “grid-able” methodology behind my “Vortex” series of geometrical abstracts, I’ve installed a simple 2×2 grid created from four complimentary 34″ diagonal Vortexes. Naturally, this method can be applied to fewer units — or many more. And the installation can contain complimentary colors as in this photo, or contrasting hues to create tension and drama.

Major Updates to My Digital Art Series
by Photog on Apr.10, 2012, under gallery updates, News, Recent Projects
Based on requests from some of our booth visitors at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival over the weekend, I have crafted some new additions to my Tr?Z collection which can be found on my Vivid Pixelz website.
The Tr?Z collection is comprised of vividly manipulated (predominantly) Winter trees, twisted into a dimensionally different view. Many of these images look alien, most are vivid (some are monochromatic) and all look very different from any native growth you’ve ever seen before.
All images are available from 16×20 matted prints to massive stretched canvases or luster-finish framed prints. All finished prints (canvas or framed) are signed and numbered Limited Editions of 100. The largest prints are nine feet wide!
One of the newest additions:
Vivid Barn Violet Grass
Join Us In Deep Ellum This Weekend
by Photog on Apr.06, 2012, under Art Shows, Events, Exhibitions, News
For those not intimately familiar with the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, it is located in the Deep Ellum entertainment district of Dallas, where six blocks of Main Street are transformed into one enormous street festival featuring 200 juried artists, 100 bands on 5 different stages — and 30 restaurants.
This will be our first year exhibiting at Deep Ellum and our new booth is loaded with examples of some of my finest – and newest creations.
Naturally we will have work from my book on Texas. But we will be exhibiting, the new Vortex series, and for the first time, some of the recently-introduced Tr?Z collection and NYC images.
We will also have a large supply of my Coffee Table Book Texas As I See It — and — a vast assortment of our Fine Art note cards from Texas, Route 66 and NYC.
So come on down and enjoy this perfect Spring weekend.
We are in booth 184, near the Good Latimer end of the festival.
Exhibitor Area Hours:
Friday, April 6, 2012 • 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.*
Saturday, April 7, 2012 • 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m*.
Sunday, April 8, 2012 (Easter) • 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
*Note the Festival will remain open until 10:30p.m. around the entertainment stages and we will be there as late as people want to purchase our wares.
One Man Show Opens at Tarleton’s Langdon Center
by Photog on Mar.27, 2012, under Art Shows, Events, Exhibitions, News
Differential Eclecticism
A one man show featuring an eclectic variety of my work, including examples from my abstract “Vortex” series, the Tr?Z collection and some contemporary photography runs April 2nd through the 25th at Langdon Center in Granbury.
This will be the first formal show exhibiting prints from the Vortex collection and the first time anywhere to show images from my newest Tr?Z project. Winter trees have always been a favorite of mine due to being able to actually appreciate the native structure of the tree – unencumbered by leaves. I prefer shooting historic buildings in Winter for this same reason: you can see “through” the surrounding trees and better grasp the entire structure.
This resulted in exploring vivid, dramatic processing to ultimately produce the Tr?Z styling. Dramatic, vivid and visceral, this series will introduce the viewer to winter trees as they have never been seen before.

The Vortex collection has been a work in progress since the beginning of 2012. Created primarily with the designer market in mind, this series is characterized by symmetrical, dramatic and vivid images in diamond or square configurations. Available in four sizes, the Vortex series will fit virtually any wall space or budget.
Vortex: Eighty-Eight
While this show technically “opens” on April 2nd, the collection will be open to the public on March 31st during the monthly Last Saturday Gallery Night from 5-9 pm.
Stop by and say “Howdy.”
Vortex: Seventy-Nine
So if you’re in the Granbury neighborhood, check out Langdon Center.
You’ve Never Seen Barns Like This!
by Photog on Mar.03, 2012, under gallery updates, News, Recent Projects
As I explore my creative potential, the world around me takes on an entirely new look – at least to me. Not that this is necessarily an entirely “new” thing. I’ve always seen the world as a cartoon. Perhaps this is Mel Blanc’s fault. And maybe it’s the 60s that did it. But whatever the cause, my view of “reality” is slightly (sometimes more) askew from what you see. As a result, I spend more and more time tweaking my images to achieve a specific look. Each image is different – and requires it’s own “touch” to convey the unique quality that drew me to compose this particular shot and release the shutter.
In so doing, I have set the stage for the metamorphosis to begin. A lot of Photoshop, filtering, hand-editing and layers are required to achieve the final image. This can be very time-consuming, but it is a labor of love.
I the case of this particular theme, the end result is… BarnZ!
- BarnZ like you’ve never seen before.
- BarnZ with colors and perspective unique in every way.
- BarnZ foreign to our world.
- BarnZ where I feel I am starting to convey the way I see our world.
So enjoy my BarnZ

New Website Launched for Digital Art
by Photog on Jan.29, 2012, under gallery updates, News
Since more of my work is headed in the direction of original digital art and not remotely photographic in nature, it seemed a new website / identity was required. Several domains are registered and parked as a result and PixelMusings.com is currently the active domain for this unique content. While it’s not complete or even fully functional just yet, there are some full galleries online for you to browse. The updates and news will continue to be published right here. This is our clearing house for all Press Releases and news regarding any information relative to my creative endeavors.
So keep your eyes peeled for updates and take a look at the new galleries when you have a few minutes.
And check out the new site. This is the location for my Visceral Vulcan series of abstract art, the Vortex abstract art series and my Alien Vistas project.
Enjoy.
