It is nice to see my work being used by people, I do get a buzz from that. I did a little bit of Googling just to see where I could find work of mine that had been acknowledged correctly as my work. I was surprised to find so many instances. It also helps with my visibility which over time should bring in more business.

I’ve been working on some new code that delivers product placements from service providers directly onto my site and here it is. The great thing about this is that the service offerings are changing all the time keeping it fresh and new.


My work with Fotolia continues to show promise with another 3 sales in July and all of these my most popular image to date. Just click the link to be taken to that image.

Finally got to grips with the Lulu interface and managed to grab the code for my new art book preview Images from my mind.

Thought I’d continue the publishing theme from my last post with a round up of where I am at the moment.

Firstly there is my new photo book called Images from my mind. It’s a collection of some of my art work in a photo book format. It gives a taste of what art I create and is really a fore runner to a complete set of themed art books I’m working on. Just click the Lulu icon to be taken to the book where you can preview its contents and of course buy a copy.

I’ve also created a new book along one of my favourite passtimes, that being maths. This book is a printing of Pi to 1,000,000 decimal places. I dare you to purchase and read it – it’s a very difficult book to read and take in as it consists entirely of numbers. It would make a crazy present so click the Lulu picture below and grab a copy now.

Finally I’ve taken some of my music creations and put them together on a CD for your listening pleasure. Instrumental guitar music is where I’m coming from with this release. Again the Lulu picture below will take you to the CD site. the release is called Disco noise with guitars. I hope you like it.

It had to happen at some point in time, I finally got it together and published my very own book of some of my favourite art creations.

The hardback book is an ideal Coffee Table item and has a variey of art creations themed on specific subjects.

Photographic manipulations where I take a standard photograph and manipulate it into an art piece.

Mathematical creations where I use mathematical formulas and techniques to create my art.

Digital reality where the boundary between reality and nature becomes blurred.

Reflection where the inner world of the mirrored sphere is explored.

Zazzle continues to deliver for me, this time I’ve sold some greetings cards with my slippers design.

I’ve had a WEBSHOTS account for a few years now, way back then then computers were running just 1MB RAM (yes they used to be like that) I was creating my first digital art. A friend from work told me that this company had set themselves up called WEBSHOTS and you could load up your images for free to share with the world and also have access to images uploaded by other users.

I signed up, was a little miffed that my user Id couldn’t just be Pete as that had already gone so I ended up with Pete1111 and that’s remained to this day. Over the years I dropped out of being creative and submitting art to the site for users to download for desktop wallpaper. I just didn’t have the time or energy. But for some reason I came back not so long ago and started creating once more. To my surprise whilst I was away (I still maintained my account just didn’t use it) my total number of views had increased heaps as had the total number of users and images available on the whole WEBSHOTS site.

I’m now at the stage of nearing the 1,000,000 views mark, which for me is a major achievement. I’m hoping in a few weeks that target will be reached and in preparation for the event I’ve already created my special album called Digital Illusion 1,000,000 with a single image dedicated to all my friends and fans who have helped me reach the 1,000,000 mark.

So it’s about time I share with you some of my creations on this blog to encourage you to visit WEBSHOTS and my albums to get me to the 1,000,000 mark that little bit quicker.
