Image of the Organism

Hi Casey- thanks for your comment on my paintings. I am fascinated by your work, it's so organic and intricate and complex. The colors and sense of light are fabulous, and I can sense the musician in you. I love what you've accomplished on the computer, using it to express your vision rather than just show off the special effects. I have worked somewhat with computer-generated art (painting, Photoshop, some 3-D modeling) and agree that it is a worthy artist's tool. The only drawback for me personally is the physical atrophy and monotony of working for hours at the same size screen and Wacom tablet. My friend Roger Ferragallo (http://www.ferragallo.com/digitalpaintings.html) whose digital art is quite amazing (one of his pieces has image resolution of 6000x3000 pixels and is/was displayed at the Princeton Computer Science program on a 8’ x 18’ rear projection screen) says that in my lifetime there will be a touch-screen surface as large as me that I can paint on with sweeping gestures. That would certainly get me interested. In the meantime I am addicted to soft brushes and sensuous, fluid paint. Roger gave them up to be able to "paint with light."

Beautiful work and high quality portfolio.congratulations Thank you for commenting on my fifth Hagia Sofia.Kotas is a Greek surname. Do you have Greek roots?
