About Me |
|
| I am a web artist, influenced by William Blake. The web has offered me the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong ambition of combining visual art and writing in a single grid, as Blake did with his illuminated texts. My website, Illumination Gallery , is a product of this ambition. As much as I love Blake, I also have firm artistic roots in pop culture. To get a sense of who I am, click here .

The Elusiveness of Consciousness |
|
| Web animation allows me not only to combine image and text, but also to animate text. The ability to do the latter has been a revelation to me as a writer. I truly approach text differently than when ... Posted by Peter Schmideg on Thu, 01 May 2008 11:10:00 PST |
