"One of my earlir works in trying to put people in places they didn't originally take their picture. The contrast on the edited image is off quite a bit, but considering it was done in 2006, I'm still impressed with my progress."-The Artist

"This is my sister Jinger standing in a creek in Virginia. I was just inspired by the picture and her adoration for Gators and just went wild. As you can see in the edit, I reallyy got carried away but I still like it. The original gator and flowe pictures are (c) to their respective owners."-The Artist-

"I took the original picture in theliving room of the mother who comissioned this picture. These are posted with her permission and gratitiude. When I saw the two boys head-to-head like that, I knew it would make a great picture so I took it. The original backgound picture for the edit was supplised by my sister and used with her permission though I had to edit out the people and their reflection in the water by duplicating some of the lily pads. It was a very long edit and if you click on the original you can see how I created it."-The Artist-

"This was a comissioned piece. I took the original photo myself in the commissioner's bedroom and then edited it to create a "Smoken' Ace" card. If you click on the original image of this set, you can see how I created the hosery, edited the make-up and hair, and adjusted the skin tone for the old pin-up style feel."-The Artist-

"This was a request for an AOL RPG. The character was a witch named Namowdead based off of the Kim Harrison "Rachel Morgan" book series. The picture base is Rosario Dawson and the original image is (c) to it's respective owners. The edit was created specifically to fit an AOL character profile."-The Artist-

"This was a challenge on a message board to use the color sceme you see in the background in a picture edit. The original picture is of Pink and is (c) to her, the photographer and any other rightful owner. I enjoyed doing this edit very much."-The Artist-

"This edit was done on request for an AOL RPG. The original pictureis (c) to Mila Jovovich, the photographer, Resident Evil, and any other rightful owner. The edited image used many filters and minor edits. Mila's head was replaced by a heavily edited head shot of Natalie Portman. Again, I claim no rights to the original images."-The Artist-

"These were other challenges which I unfortunately lost the originals to when my computer crashed. They are (c) to their original owners and I claim no rights to them. The first image was captioned "make me real" and the artists were provided various pictures of this actress. I chose to make her look like marble being painted. I wont the competition with this peice. The second was a general edit challenge which required the artist to select at least two images of the same person (this is Dita Von Teese) and edit them to make a statement. I chose to say 'If you must choose between two evils...choose the one you have't tried yet.' I, in no way, claim that to be the same perspective or view of Dita herself. I hope you like them."-The Artist

"Roxy held a bikini design contest starting in May of 2009 and ending in June of 2009. While technically I couldn't win because I work for a company that works for Roxy, I designed some bikini's anyway. I liked the challenge and I certainly liked how they turned out. The 'Dangerous Beauty' is my favorite, the Roxy shark logo being my own design. The other design was me going wild. I think I might wear the paret side but probably not the tigers. Both bikini's were designed to be reversable."-The Artist

"Sometimes I can't describe how I feel. Sometimes I paint, sometimes I draw, and sometimes...I cut and past random images digitally to create a visual of how I feel. These two images speak for themselves and the original images used to create them are (c) to their perspective owners."-The Artist-

"Some people may like the leaf but I thought it drew attention away from the gator so I edited it out. I also enhanced the colors of the background, eliminated the fine neon green line around the edge of the rock, removed ove-red exposure from the shadows after I enhanced the colors and contrast drawing special focus to his eye."-The Artist
