My Creative Images
Promoting Digital Photo Artistry and Digital Photography
Issue 50 (May 2022)
Welcome to the Mycreativeimages Magazine
May 2022 Featured artists
I have delayed issuing the magazine this month.

The reason, currently I only publish the artwork
from a group of people that were on the same
Clare Barton 6
training course as me. However, as only a small
number of artists from that group continue to Claude Trew 8
be active I have now made a decision to make
David Walker 12
changes to the magazine.

I publish the magazine as a way of providing new
and emerging artists a method of adding an entry
on their CV stating they have been published in
an established art publication.
Combine this with my underlying desire to Inspire
people so they can be great at what they do I
think its time to further develop this magazine
and the content.
To that end I will start offering an open call to all
digital artists and will further develop the website
so submissions can be made via a form and I
will also set up a virtual gallery space to further
showcase the artwork in the gallery.
So please watch this space and keep coming
back to read the magazine and enjoy the artwork.

Before you head off don’t forget most of the artists have
links to their own websites, it would be great if you clicked
the images and links and paid them a visit.

Bernie Tuffs
Hello! I’m Bernie and I live in the little seaside town of Margate and having lived here all
my life, I couldn’t live anywhere else now! I’m continually inspired by the scenery here,
with skies and light that so excited famous artist J. W. Turner, who said of this area,
“…the skies over Thanet are the loveliest in all Europe”. Apparently, a love of the sea
stayed with him all his life and I can well understand that! Painting with light holds a real
attraction for me - the gentle light that is still strong enough to dispel darkness.
I’ve always been arty, progressing from childhood sketching, through gouache and then
oil painting, then paper crafting and scrapbooking which led me to digital scrapbooking
and finally to Sebastian Michaels and Photo Artistry. My latest venture is designing and
selling digital overlays and textures. Now I feel I’m home and am having so much fun
with my art!

An Emotional lMoment
Clare Barton
Hello, I’m Clare and I live in the UK. I’ve been doing photography as an amateur for
quite some time, I do enjoy taking lots of photos and playing around with my images in
Photoshop & Lightroom, so when I came across Sebastian’s Photoshop artistry courses
during the first lockdown in March 2020, I immediately knew that this was for me.

I’ve been doing the Photoshop Artistry and Awake course for over a year now, but I’m
still taking my time learning new techniques and more about digital art. I am enjoying
meeting new people in our facebook groups and I hope to continue with my creative
journey into my future.

Claude Trew
I retired a few years ago, and since I had more free time, I decided it was time to
expand my photo art skills.
I have been a member of my local camera club for many years, but I wanted to
branch out in areas of photography that would be more artistic and outside the style of
photographs that are most successful in club competitions. With this in mind, four years
ago I joined the international online Photoshop course “My Photo Artistic Life” created
by Sebastian Michaels. I have never regretted my decision and I am still a member of
this vibrant and artistic FaceBook community.
A few months ago I joined another online course “Elevate your Art”, this time learning to
paint with Photoshop’s mixer brush. My vision is, one day, to be able to paint images
which will look like oil paintings.
You are welcome to visit my website to see some samples of my Photo Art.
