I am a digital artist. I do photography, photo retouching, photo manipulations, and digital paintings. My paintings are done by hand on a drawing tablet. Most of my paintings are from my own photographs. Though my paintings are done in Photoshop, no artistic filters are used. In fact my paintings tend to add detail to photos, especially bad ones, where art filters lose detail. Photoshop is indiscriminate on what detail is lost too.
Besides being an artist, I am also a Messianic minister. I am lead Kingdom Star Ministries (www.kingdomstar.com). We are looking to expand the ministry with a bakery that teaches teen unwed moms job skills, parenting skills, and cooking skills. We will also provide foster care for them and their newborn. Proceeds from the sale of my artwork will go to supporting this ministry. More information can be found at http://www.kingdomstar.com/Bakery_Outreach_Center.html
One last thing. I see talent shows on television all the time that show people at the beginning who think they have talent in a particular area and really don't. I welcome comments, even constructive criticism on my artwork. E-mail me at oriyan@dunamisdigital.com with any and all comments.
May God bless,
Oriyan
