I Turn Photos From My Trips To Zoos Into Surreal Worlds
I originally trained and worked in mechanical engineering (got frustrated with that) and then went to art school and studied graphic design. After all that I worked in various advertising agencies in Britain and Germany. Then I got lucky: I gave up my job!
I found myself in a remote and beautiful part of the world, German Alps, where I still live. I became a “house husband” with loads of spare time. In between looking after my children and part time jobs, I somehow had to keep my mind occupied. Therefore, I decided to create my own pictures in Photoshop.
I spend lots of time with my family, walking and visiting zoos and museums. I always take my camera with me, however, I tend to take more photos of old and broken objects than I do of my family, which means I now have a very large archive of photographic material to use for my pictures. I start with a vague idea from a story or a fable and create a concept that might work visually. The completed pictures can take a long time to create depending upon how they develop and my free time; some are clear ideas that work, however, some pictures just grow on their own. I hope you enjoy them.

I wish I was a publisher or had the money to privately publish a children's book utilizing these fab pics! What an imaginative artist
Your work is great! As a beginner in this sphere I follow simple photo enhancement services. In case I need advanced manipulations, fixthephoto.com is a helping hand for me.
Very good... I wouldn't think you'd have a problem publishing them somewhere. The steampunk genre would love these photos!
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, they're all so inventive and imaginative, i love it.
These look like something Dali would have done if he had access to PhotoShop..... And ya know was still alive :-)
These remind me of Pink Floyd album covers. You've succeeded in blowing up my imagination as each one is unique and intense. The morphing is
