Hi everyone.
I'm formally trained at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, majored in Commercial Design. Worked a brief stint for The Cape Coral Breeze family of newspapers as layout artist but the demands of publishing deadlines forced to rethink my career and I went into IT, security and Wireless ( Cellular/GPS/Location services) for 20 years.
I have full time disability but working on healing up some day to work full time as a fine arts and nature artist. I draw what I shoot and sometimes shoot what I draw. I'm also a pointillist and scratch board artist, a dying art I may add.
If you want to use something, please drop me an email or message rick@blackowlstudio.com or rick.duff@gmail.com some of my images are copyright protected and some I've published under a Creative Commons. Typically the Rainier stuff is Copyrighted.
Please don't steal it, the kids gotta eat!
Thanks for reading this far!
