Some Featured NORGA Team Members. Many of our NORGA (Northern Georgia) members participate in local fairs, festivals and fund raisers in the North Georgia region. In order to assist each other on our Etsy stores each of the NORGA team members have banned together to help teach and promote each other. Its wonderful to be on such a proactive team led by Susan Williams of the Laughing Cabin. The team continues to grow and gets larger daily.

The UK to US initiative is a collaboration of Photography from Artists Greg Towning of Topsham England & TPowers Atlanta Georgia. The images are then melded together and digitally altered to create a Surrealist quality and new image. These images will be sold and featured in both the United States and the United Kingdom. You will get the opportunity to follow the initiative here on GrafXQuest.com. A little known fact. Each of the images will have a duck hidden somewhere in the photos. How did this come about? In the very first photo melded together Greg said that he thought he saw a giant duck in the image. The "DUCK" was actually a boat in the water within his original image that looks somewhat like a duck. Greg then jokingly said that we should include a duck in every image to make it our thing. And there you have it. Every image of the UK/US initiative will contain a duck hidden somewhere in the photo. They are not always obvious so look hard.
The photo above was melded together using two photos, digital grunge paper, and digital manipulation. The grunge paper was used to give a raining effect seen to the left of the large tree. The smoke effect was done by combining airbrushing and a smudge tool in Corel. The Ballerina you see featured above is a concept digital drawing done in Corel. The actual will be painted in Acrylics on 3 Large 9X3 foot panels to go over a large fireplace. This is a commissioned work. I love doing commission work as it gives me the opportunity to try something new that is a little outside my comfort zone. However as of yet I haven't found a project that I couldn't do yet. I also get to meet new people and my world of exposure opens up. This will be the largest canvas painting I have ever done. I will take photos and keep you posted as we go!
