This series of pieces began as background plates for the animation in the documentary Swarm and Destroy. The style was meant to evoke the feel of downtown Kalamazoo and since then the series has expanded to encompass several Kalamazoo landmarks.

Prints of these pieces were available for sale through Fervor Art and featured in the Kalamazoo Art Hop.

These images are digital photographs that have then undergone different computer processing and manipulation techniques as well as digital painting. I use Photoshop 5.5, an Olympus Camedia D-550, and a Wacom Drawing Tablet for creating and manipulating digital imagery.
