$3000 (SOLD)
60" (5 feet wide) x 38.4"
Inspired by the natural phenomenon where fish of the deep sea use bioluminescent nodes to glow in the dark, this artwork 'charges' in the daylight then creates a whole new painting for the wall on which it is hung after lights-out. The name Fishtych (pronounced 'fishtick' — not accidently similar to 'fish stick!) is derived from the word for a painting that's been produced on two canvases: diptych. The fish lives a dichotomous life hinging on the magical time of sunset -- it's a colourful, playful entity by day, and a dark beast after lights-out.

HappyHappyDog.com
Recently I started a web site called Happy Happy Dog . com to celebrate happy happy dogs and their human companions. My goal is to get people submitting photos from all over the world of their very happy dogs; enough photos that I can put up a new photo every day. I've had great success with it and have received photos from as far away as Australia! It now houses a "Top Dog" photo contest, a "Wags to Riches" column where people submit their dog's story from rough beginnings to the good life, and advertising specifically selected to suit the site's audience.
Its success doesn't stop there. A happy fan started a Facebook Fan Club where Facebook members can vote on the Photo Contest winners.
Photos for fellow Designers...
When I need an inexpensive, royalty-free photograph in a hurry, I buy from a little shop called Big Stock Photo. Log-on, find the perfect photo, pay and download instantly. I like them so much that I'm an affiliate! Please consider supporting them and their photographers in your next communications project.
