Downtown Portland Oregon up close

It was the morning of a nice 80+ degree day in Portland and I had a few extra hours to spend there, so I took a few pictures of the joyous occasion.

Surreal Portland Digital Art - latest pieces

My digital art starts out as a photograph that I shoot, then is transformed into a piece of art as I repaint it with light, color, textures and filters adding many layers to the photograph and then tweaking it a little more… to finally become slightly surreal Portland Digital Art.

Please visit my new art site, StacyYoungArt.com

The store will be up soon and you will be able to purchase my art as an image or as prints in a variety of sizes and on high quality velvet fine art paper, framed or unframed and also in limited addition signed and numbered prints as well. 

Here's a collage showing some of my latest Surreal Portland Digital Art.

Soon, the store will be complete at Stacy Young Art and every piece of art will be available as prints.

I can't wait to share some of my other new pieces and experiments, which will include paintings on canvas and board and multi-layer glass paintings!

Introducing my 3 new art sites!

I want to introduce some of my new art sites. 

The first one is StacyYoungArt.com

I can't wait to share some of my new pieces and experiments, which will include paintings on canvas, multi-layer glass paintings... and also photo and graphic art as well, which will be available with various sizes and materials. I'm also sharing some of my photo and graphic art on this site.

The next new site is StacyPDX.com. 

Here I post updates such as new art, photos, news and events that relate to both my photography and art sites, StacyYoungPhotos.com and the very new and extremely exciting StacyYoungArt.com

The last site, StacyYoungPhotos.com is actually my first site, but this one is now re-purposed, reinvented and reinvigorated. The primary focus of this site is to show my photography.

Discovering Portland through my iPhone

 For the last 3 weeks, I've had the pleasure to walk around Portland with my iPhone in hand, snapping pictures left and right of just about everything I saw. There is something liberating about the freedom of always having my camera at finger's reach and for that camera to weigh about as much as a piece of cardboard. I'm also amazed that cameras have evolved to having a decent level of quality derived from a near-microscopic dot as a lens. Not to mention that it's also a lot more fun when I can post some of my favorite pictures on to Facebook, just seconds after experiencing them, in almost real-time.

One of the most fascinating facets of Portland's culture is the food cart phenomena. There are hundreds of food carts, mostly situated into food cart pods, which are located throughout the entire city and are successfully proving that this kind of business model can indeed work...even in a big city.

This photo gallery shows a slice of the really cool food cart culture of Portland. There's also lots of very interesting buildings and some very unique and spectacular architecture, since many of the historical buildings have been preserved.

Portlanders, such as myself are proud of our city and we want to share it with the world... Now I am sharing my own discovery of the Rose City with the world. Please share it forward.

...more to come. :)
