About the image: These digital compostions are created from photos using Photshop. It's more than just running it through filters, although that is a step. I use brush strokes and dodge & burn as well.

I spend most of my time at a Little League sports field almost everyday with my 2 sons, so I thought it would be fun to capture their passion & drive.

What graphics software do you use on a regular basis?
Photoshop, Corel Painter

What was the first graphics program you learned?
Photoshop

What is your all-time favorite graphics program and why?
Photoshop, because if you know your way around, & have a good imagination, there's nothing you can't do.

How do you use graphics software in your day-to-day activities?
I produce these paintings & sell them for profit and as a Little League Fundraiser.

What is your best graphics tip or piece of advice?
Learn Photoshop.
