I know there are other Doper artists out there and I hadn’t noticed any art sharing threads lately, so I thought I’d start one. Also I thought I’d start it so I can show off my work. I’ve been painting for about two and a half years now, and while I don’t harbor any illusions that I’m a great painter, I do think I am getting better. Or I like my stuff at least. You can see all my paintings [here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/hring06/); my favorite recent paintings are [Field of Flowers](http://www.flickr.com/photos/hring06/2874336902/) and [The Distance](http://www.flickr.com/photos/hring06/2873506651/). Feel free to offer any criticism (or praise) if you like. So, anyone else wanna share/show off? ---

I’m not sure if this counts, but I’m pretty happy with [this website design](http://www.guanolad.com/horizon/) I did for my short film. The jet plane is a 3D render, and there are png transparencies and overlays throughout. Actually, I’d be curious if the site looks weird on anybody’s browser. ---

I’m a CG artist. Here’s some stuff I’ve done for some indie films… [SCREEECH!](http://cmyk.cgsociety.org/gallery/393608/) A still from a small shot of a large bat for the horror flick [Feast.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426459/) My boy [Morty](http://cmyk.cgsociety.org/gallery/667508/) for a short film I’m working on. And if you have QuickTime 7, here’s a [Hummingbird](http://goodcomics.com/end/C4D_Samples/He%20Was%20a%20Quiet%20Man/Hummingbirds/_QUIETMAN_Hummingbird.mov) I did for [this](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0760311/) film (among many other things). Good work all! ■■■■ ---

Here’s a link to a bunch of my paintings, done mostly over the past year and a half. Patterson Street seems a bit reluctant to show but if you hit Monsoon on 4th St and then hit the forward button you can see it. ---

I think it might be a stretch to call myself an “artist,” but I write and draw an online comic strip called [Scandal Sheet!](http://scandalsheet.comicgenesis.com) that’s now in its sixth year. I’ve been really trying to take more pains with the artwork lately and I think it shows (if you click over, be sure and check out the archives so you can see how the art’s changed over the years).
