What started as paintings from doodles in 2006 developed into digital, assembled photos from 2008-Present. Randy combines 2-3 different photos of the same scene. He depicts different times of the day or year into each piece, currently using the cube as the device for assembly. The cube emerged out of Randy's subconscious as he made doodles during corporate meetings in the 2000s. These first became large paintings. Always intrigued with Monet's painting of the same scene at different times of day inspired Randy. His career in 3D packaging graphics had influence as well. Randy establishes a strong sense of space, light and a 3D reality that makes you feel you can step right into the cubes and enter a new dimension. His first pieces in 2007-2008 didn't use the cube. They simply had the two photos on top of each other but that quickly changed as he didn't feel it was interesting enough. He also achieves interesting paint textures from a brush and paint roller. See through the eyes of a successful, experienced graphic artist / creative director and digital artist who has been shooting photos for 30 years and using Photoshop since the year it was invented.
Randy provides a whole new perspective on dimensionality.
