I am a visionary artist (painter) who is beginning to experiment with photography and digital manipulation.

There are some images of me in character as the "Blue Man" at Faerieworlds 2006-2007 already posted on Flickr by others. You can see more at the faerieworlds.com site as well as my own: paulruckerart.com
