In 1990 we started as Galerie Malraux in Los Angeles, California: at that time the gallery focused mainly on Caribbean art. In 1994 the gallery followed its founder to Dallas, Texas, in a transition which marked the beginning of Pan American Art Gallery; the inaugural exhibit was a massive 400-piece show of important modernist Cuban art. By the early 2000's the gallery moved to a 4500 square feet exhibition space in the upscale Turtle Creek area of Dallas; the first show there, a comprehensive view of Cuban photography titled "Cuban Photography - Revolutionary to Contemporary" was named one of the ten best shows of the year in America.

Using several KPT filters, including "FraxPlorer", as well as other layering and filtering effects in Photoshop, I created this image in my Abstract Image series. First named Abstract Image 1224, I later renamed it "Particularized Dreamtime Variation 5". I came to that name first due to this series using some forms similar to my earlier series Particularized Hexagram, and Particularized Deltoid, then secondly when I showed Variation 1 to a good friend of mine, his first reaction was to say it reminded him of Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime Art. After creating the first variation, I subsequently created 7 more color variations off of this theme, making for a total of an eight piece series of color variation for this one. So here is Particularized Dreamtime Variation 5, complete with the digitally embossed Bill M. Tracer Studio logo signature seal, small as not to distract from the design, while decidedly present, showing authenticity.

I put this video together to show you how I turned myself into a cartoon. I did this because I noticed some services/websites out there that offer to turn your pictures into a cartoon for a fee / price. So to show you just how easy (or difficult) it can be I recorded myself turning myself (and partner) into a cartoon.

Do you remember that poster on Mulder's office wall on the X-Files television show? It showed a flying saucer photograph, and the caption that read, "I Want To Believe"? Actually more than one of these posters was used over the course of that show. The images used in these posters appear to have been derived from, or at least based on, one or more of the photographs of Billy Meier, which is fairly ironic in relation to the issue of believing. For there is considerable controversy regarding the question of the authenticity of Billy Meier's photographs. Among the professional researchers on this topic, some believe his photographs are the real thing, while others do not believe in the genuineness of his photographic work. Regardless of that issue, whether I believe in the work of Billy Meier, or not, I find that personally, just believing is simply not enough for me. No, I want more than just to believe. I want to know! So I created this poster with my own original work of art that is my answer to that "I Want To Believe" poster. As it says, "Belief Is Not Enough I Want To Know".

I created Quetzalcoatl Blossom Variation 2 with various filtering, layering, and color enhancement effects in Photoshop, including among others the KPT filter, and fractal generator, "FraxPlorer". First named, Abstract Image 955, I later renamed it Quetzalcoatl Blossom Variation 2. Through further layering and color effects, I explored this basic image theme in 8 variations. When first gazing upon the finished image, my initial thought was of a large feathery headdress with a Quetzalcoatl style. However, it was more than just a headdress, for a comparable energy up-wells from within the Earth rising into and even infusing the headdress. So with this image I find myself easily imagining a figure in the lotus meditative position through which this energy blossoms from beneath, and fills the headdress. Like all of my digital art, as a final step, I added the digitally embossed Bill M. Tracer Studio logo signature seal, small as not to distract from the design, while decidedly present, showing authenticity.

Using the KPT fractal generator filter "FraxPlorer", I created the base image from which this work of art was derived. I then followed up by putting that base image through a combination of additional filtering, layering, and color enhancement effects in Photoshop. Abstract Image 893 was the result, which I later renamed A Splotch of Fairy Magic Variation 1. This piece is now presented here at Bubblews, complete with the digitally embossed Bill M. Tracer Studio logo signature seal, small as not to distract from the design, while decidedly present, showing authenticity.
