Digital erotica was a natural evolution of my work from more traditional moorings in pen and ink, pastel, and oil painting. In the early 80s I began producing adult computer game graphics and have not returned to traditional media. At an early age I was influenced by the great pinup artists of the 60s and 70s, and that style continues in my work today.

Recently published in Taschen's new book "Digital Beauties," my work is referred to as "Experimental 3D Digital Erotica." Because I consider all of the graphic tools and 3D rendering software available today as part of my digital tool box, my work takes on different looks based on the tools I am using. I have no one particular style, but an evolving style that follows technology.

The digital tools themselves have influenced my work. New rendering software combined with digital masking and layering techniques allow the digital artist great flexibility in creating images. However, even with sophisticated digital tools, my particular brand of digital erotica requires days of hand painting on the post-rendered work. This is what makes my digital work unique.

What has surprised me most, now that I publish online, is all the great fan mail I get from women. This to me is the ultimate compliment, for it is them that I honor most with my work.
