I'm hoping maybe thru someone's help here that they can help me find out and contact the artist and see if he's taking any apprentices or anything like that. (cross my fingers! :) ANybody recognize any similarties or know familiar with artist I saw? In case your wondering my technique here is simply a snap on a digital camera manipulated thru a really cool little plugin called Redfield Fractilius for Photoshop- then adding some rainbow gradients in layers for color. For anyone else looking to share/learn- Flickr has amazing stuff. These plugins are somethin else. What I like to do is be real creative thru turning everyday snapshots into surreal works of art thru lots of really cool Photoshop manipulations and little plugins that you can download and just play around with the sliders, for endlessly creative results... turning snaps into true works of art! IMHO It is so amazing what you can do nowadays with learning Photoshop- from "sepia toned" or whatever toned black and whites to crazy looking HDR to this kinda stuff- saw all of this kinda of digital photoshop at the art show. And with inkjet printers nowadays and how they've really come down in price, just about anyone can give it a go. I think I can make a good go at doing really well in art shows? As long as my mom will buy me a printer. What do you think? I'm hoping some veteran photogs that do really well at the shows might want to share some love and help out a newb :) I think I have some really good stuff and would be forever greatful..
Wow. What a great resource for aspiring artists. How cool! I look forward to meeting many friends and learning lots of stuff here. Another question. Would this be in digital category or photography?
Thanks a lot for this site and great artist community :)

I read it and was thinking about the blog I'd just done about Marina Terauds and her years and years of developing her techniques and ideas and working in the arts and then along comes this....
