Another outlet to my interest in artwork is my fun experimentation with making digital artwork.  Typically i use Adobe Photoshop and combine images to create themes for myself or other people.  There are several different categories: I enjoy making wallpapers, surreal images, and album covers for my favorite band, Dream Theater. 
 
 
 
The wallpapers are below, and to make any of them the background for your desktop, simply click on the picture and right-click the larger version to make it your background.

"The Dark Tower Collection"
 
I'm a pretty big fan of Stephen King's series "The Dark Tower," which begins with the book "The Gunslinger."  It is, essentially, a modern-day Tolkien fantasy combined with both a sci-fi and western feel.  The story is built around a powerful main chacter, Roland of Gilead, who is a gunslinger in a distant world that has "moved on."  "The Dark Tower" is the story of his quest in search of the very monument mentioned in the title.  The Dark Tower is essentially the center of all existence.  Roland is accompanied by characters drawn out of our world who soon become gunslingers themselves.

Other Wallpapers
 
My girlfiend Erica and I are both X-Files fans so i decided it would be pretty cool to make an X-Files wallpaper using some of the images from their intro.  Note: I also used H.R. Giger's painting "Biomechanical Landscape Seven" as a canvas for this particular wallpaper. 
Also included is a walpaper of a hypothetical Ferrari advertisment I designed for Erica.  Maybe I'll get a call from Ferrari someday about a job =)

The Surreal House Series
 
I guess you could call me a virtual set designer too! I like taking random existing pictures of cool rooms and using photoship tools to "surrealize" them and create new worlds.  These are the first two of my "Surreal House Series," but there are more to come soon!

The Dream Theater Albums Collection
 
My favorite band currently is NY-based progressive rock/metal band "Dream Theater."  If you ever want to hear imaginative, original stuff with amazing talent and extremely adept musical technique, check out this band.  They are most well known for being the ultimate "thinking man's rock band."  The thing that most interests me about this, aside from the music, is their album artwork, which is always creative and surreal in nature.  So i decided to make up some of my own Dream Theater "albums" to do covers for.
