Peter Sucy - Fine Artist
PLEASE NOTE: I apologize for the very soft looking zoomed preview images. This has resulted from FAA's recent decision to not show images exceeding 3600 pixels wide at full resolution (6 x 600 pixels for each preview square across). Contrary to what the message in the preview window says, the preview is NOT A FULL RESOLUTION PREVIEW when the image is larger than 3600 pixels wide. FAA currently down samples the area previewed to fit within the 600 x 600 preview window. My images are typically 10,000 pixels wide so what you are actually shown is about one ninth the resolution of the real full resolution image. I assure you that the digital screening technique I have employed in the production of these images, results in images that are among the sharpest you will find. See the image 'Detail Oak Leaf on the Rocks' for a true full res preview of an image.
My adventure into the digital art world began in early 1984, shortly after purchasing my first computer, a Macintosh 128K. The Macintosh came with a copy of MacPaint with which I immediately began to experiment. First with illustrations and in 1986, with the addition of a Thunderscan scanner, I began editing my own photos. IMO the computer is the most powerful creative tool yet conceived. Over the last quarter century I've been able to experiment with desktop publishing, music creation, audio visual production, 2D vector illustration, interactive & interface design, object oriented programming, digital photography, video editing, 3D modeling, animation, lenticular imaging, web site design, fractal generation and so much more all thanks to the empowerment of the computer.
Currently, I use several 3D programs (including Poser) to create my 3D scenes and abstracts. 3D illustrations and digital images uniquely can remain works-in-progress for a lifetime if you so desire. Sort of like a non-hardening clay that you can go back and re-work whenever inspiration strikes again, be it months or even years later. The ability to save images at various steps in the creative process allows you go back and take a different path forward, usually yielding a very different result. What other artistic medium allows you to do that? A perfectionist's nirvana (or hell depending the severity of your symptoms!).
PS: In addition to unlimited prints available here on FAA. I also offer artist printed, numbered and signed limited editions of 10 of nearly all the images on my site. These are created on Watercolor paper with archival inks. Please contact me by email if you are interested.
