My work defies traditional digital art practices by bringing the work back to its root through handheld techniques and painting. The work emerges from digital photography, then it's composed and manipulated in the computer, finally being transformed onto canvas by hand. My challenge is merging technology and graphic aspects with a variety of traditional mediums. My subjects are personal photography of world cultures gathered from my experiences. Being based out of NYC this has been the perfect environment to explore and grow. My main focus is bringing culture and tradition of the past into a high-spirited, colorful reflection of the 21st century.

I'm a visual effects artist, illustrator, web designer an podcasting consultant living in Germany of all places.The style of my personal work is always influenced a little or a lot by the job at hand. I see my photography as a capturing of shapes and geometry. The mood of an image I apply after the fact, like I felt what I saw at the moment I clicked the shutter. So the images reflect more what I felt than the actual conditions.

I prefer to let the viewer make a statement of my work instead. Alas, someone who only referred to himself as 'The Healthiest Man In Canada' had this to say about my work: "The Art by Dougie Hayz is a contemporary blend of absurd pop culture meets the technological age. Doug's art focuses on the more important things in life. Like what if OJ Simpson and Screech from Saved by the Bell had a baby with a high pitched voice and carving knives for hands. Dougs art is what television will look like 200 years from now when we can look back and not be horrified. It's a bold and seemingly senseless jangle that makes you happy for reasons you can't quite explain. Like a hidden 3d picture, or hologram cards of your favorite superheroes.

Popular culture is the subject matter and material of my work. As a scavenger of hidden signs and symbols, I find my materials glimmering on the margins of popular culture, both literally and figuratively in scrap heaps and gutters. Advertising detritus, television stills, comic book and video game imagery: in a digital collage these materials can be combined to reflect the process by which meaning is created in our culture, to draw out the hidden connections between seemingly unrelated imagery. The spirit of my work is an ecological one: to recycle discarded images, to recombine them inways that broaden everyday experience, everyday images, into something beautiful and unexpected.

I'm a 37 year old illustrator and videogame designer, raised on a steady diet of television, comics, and NPR. I try to take my skewed view of the world and throw it into a pop-comic-culture blender. The results are a sometimes funny, often stark ironic mix of people, politics and the mundane. When it works, it hopefully resonates with each of us, and reveals something about the strange grab-bag world we live in.

My fascination with film design started years ago when I discovered the work of Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie from the original Star Wars films. In addition to growing up in a family saturated in the visual and performing arts, it was easy for me to find inspiration and exposure to various creative outlets. As a result I've developed a passion over the course of many years for exploring new and dynamic methods of telling stories via a visual medium and have had many opportunities to exercise my abilities on behalf of production studios and filmmakers in bringing their visions to life.

If I were a mathematician, I'd calculate to the thousandth decimal the ratio of head size to body size that is required get a smile from the viewer. Alas, I am no mathematician, but through a series of trial and error I have closely approximated this ratio through a series of simple illustrations. This is no small feet. I have also discovered that many variables also come into play, depending on the subject matter. Context, color choice, environment, all these details become very important when arriving at the desired ratio. It is the search for this ratio that drives me to create art.

My work traverses the liminal landscapes of attraction and repulsion; always looking for that unnamable, elusive, transcendent moment. I worship at the feet of the ridiculous and the mouth of the sublime. The heart of my workis a conflux of product, practice, and confrontational aesthetics, simultaneously incorporating video, performance, photography and text to examine issues of gender, desire, myth and pop culture. I'm particularly interested in how public spectacle destabilizes the role of the audience, and forces the passive viewer to become a participant and renegotiate their relationship to the art experience. I consider my work to be continuing in the vein of feminist
artists who use their bodies not just as makers of thework, but as agents of the work while moving forward a post-feministcritique of contemporary culture.

My work is a collision between street photography and abstract art. I am in essence a street photographer. No pre-visualization or set ups, just quick grabs of moments in time that appeal to my visual sensibilities. But once the captured image meets up with the editing software on my computer, it quickly deviates from the street photography genre into the
