Tony Murtagh

 

Tony Murtagh bought his first decent digital camera (a Panasonic Lumix) prior to going on his safari to Kenya in February 2010, after which he decided to take photography up as a serious hobby.

 

He has now changed to a Cannon DSLR. and has had photographs published in the national press in both England and Australia and on a local company's calendar for the last two years.

 

In January 2013 his photo of a 'Three Headed Giraffe' made it to the final of the Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year in the Wildlife section.

 

He lives in Bicester, Oxfordshire and enjoys photographing landscapes, wildlife and plants and flowers, both locally and in Europe and Africa.

 

The galleries on his website show his travels around Africa, Europe and the UK as well as some general galleries featuring wildlife, birds and more parochially, his garden!

 

His work can be viewed at his web site http://tonysphotos.eu/ on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonykro/ and may be purchased in a variety of formats from tony-murtagh.artistwebsites.com or photo4me.com/tonysphotoseu

Featured Art: MezmerEyes by Derrick Rathgeber

Featured Art: MezmerEyes

By: Derrick Rathgeber

MezmerEyes is an illustration I drew in my sketchbook in 2011. This piece I can honestly say is one of those drawings that stick with you. It makes you form questions in your head like what is it, and what is it thinking as you stare into it's eyes. I drew these eyes originally going for a cat eye, but as I drew it I noticed that I gave it some human like features like the nose and faint eyebrows. I was mostly playing with the grey and black colors. The actual eyes I was going for was a nice glowing yellow with a small hint of gloss. 

I am proud to say that this was the first drawing that I did post accident that sold a print. It was in a church auction, and I listed the base price at $10. It got a few bids and sold for much more, and the buyer insisted that I sign the piece, as she had faith that I would be big one day. I was of course humbled and didn't think anything of it, but she was pretty serious, and was extremely happy that I signed it for her. I kind of felt like a celebrity for the moment. Kind of cool. 

This drawing is still available for prints, with great framing options from FineArtAmerica.com along with all of my showpieces. Some originals are available as listed. Feel free to view my profile on there and own one that sticks out to you, as low as $40.00!
