Hey Y'all!

'Nuclear' by ~kozywozy

3rd place:

'Under a Yew Tree' by ~ciar4n

Fine job gentlemen! :clap:

A thanks goes out also to all who participated and supported the contest and mostly to my good friend Mike ( ~darkernights ) who hosted a smooth running and successful competition .. good job Mike!  I had alot of fun participating as judge and promoter.. without all the tough logistic stuff to do this time!

On a different note, I'm currently getting some of my latest works ready for the print shop and have put up two new prints for sale : Look Daddy and North of the Lakes .. get em while they're hot! :D  I have another three to put in the shop soon.

For a limited time, I'll be offering this deal on my prints:  Buy any 16x20 print or two 8x10 prints, and I'll buy you a month subscription to dA in return.  Just send me a note telling me you purchased them.

and to all ...your support for my work is much appreciated, cherished and loved!

Be good to yourselves and one another,

Skinner

My favorite painting EVER</b>


Daddy's little girl by *Buble

The first painting ever done of my daughter.

It touches me like no other piece I've ever laid eyes on, and pretty much makes my heart swell.  I wish you all could find such a piece of art if you haven't..whether it's someone elses work or your own, so that you may appreciate the true power it has when you look at it.

Karen based her work on my photograph Walk in Fields of Gold

I am forever in your debt. ... thank you Karen :heart:

My Other Accounts

URBAN EXPLORATION
~CellarDweller


This new foray into a genre of photography completely different from my nature stuff has.. artistically speaking.. been an absolute breath of fresh air for me.  It's become, in fact, far more challenging and rewarding then I ever would have guessed.  I started with rural explorations such as old barns and abandoned farmhouse interiors and branched out into trespassing dangerous old industrial derelict buildings and shooting seedy alleyways at night in the worst parts of town...




ARTISTIC NUDES
~skinnernudes

Not a very active account these days, but nonetheless a learning experience and a genre of photography which interests me a great deal.  I hope to do more of it soon!




WINDOWS CUSTOMIZATION
~skinnerstyles

Also not a very active account these days, but it was my original forte and the reason for my username! I used to 'skin' WinXP for use with StyleXP .. also make icons and wallpapers for the desktop.. I still throw the odd wallpaper version of my photos in there. 'Natural Lighting 2 - wallpaper' got a DD last year and has been viewed 30000 times!




STOCK
~wb-skinnerstock

Some stuff for the community to use .. the 'Suspended Egg' has been used for 45 (at last count) deviations and got a DD a few years ago.
