So, Hi! My name is Richard Davis, also known as StudioDavis or nighthawk101 on the internet.
I’m a digital artist who loves creating personal artworks with an emphasis in digital composition which encompasses photo manipulation and montage, with an occasional mixture of a variety of traditional techniques that I’m constantly exploring and developing. My art is based on photographs that go through a heavy process of transformation, assemblage and detail that puts them closer to a pictorial expression. I like to capture the surreal beauty of strange objects, places and phrases in dream-like emotive images that speak to the human subconscious making a statement about the conundrum of the human predicament.
My personal artworks has been showcased worldwide in different printed and digital magazines such as press (Advanced Photoshop Magazine and Photoshop Creative Magazine) and internet (Four Daily Deviations awards at Deviantart.com, Image of the Month and Image of Week at photoshopcreative.co.uk and seven Daily Feature awards from shadowness.com along with many other website features).
I have been involved in art, design, publishing, prepress, printing and web development for 17 years and I have filled many roles such as a graphic designer, concept artist, art director, creative director, DTP operator, production artist and retoucher, these skills have been self taught with on the job training. The work has predominately involved concept and design of advertising, retail, and collateral media which has included large format printing, packaging, die cutting and reproduction along solving IT and design technical issues.
