Scrolling wheel workout for your computer mouse
+ visual feast for your eyes
Yet another “computer specific” (or rather “monitor-specific”) art-form is emerging on the net - images designed for viewing by scrolling down, and down, and down - to marvel at the VERTICALLY unfolding vistas. It also can be a bit disorienting… Have a look at these examples:

Collection of hair-raising electrical storms
Most visually effective lightnings occur over city skylines, somehow. That must be due to the added element of danger; they might strike a building or wreak havoc on the city’s energy grid.
Various skylines featured here belong to Toronto, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore; other backdrops to heavenly unrest include the Arizona desert, Bryce Canyon, Baltic Sea, Madeira island or a nameless field in Wilmington, North Carolina. In every case, the display of electrical storm lights is both humbling and exhilarating.
What is it about graffiti that separate it from all other art forms? First, it’s done outside. The element of danger adds to the piece, making us appreciate the elusive artist’s work even more. Next, it’s usually done in a specific place - carefully selected, so that the context becomes just as relevant as the piece. Finally, when you add in an illusion, it takes on a three dimensional view. We experience the art on a deeper level.
Very Intricate, Surreal and Engrossing Work
Tomasz Maronski paints fascinating forms, which seem to originate from some smoky subconscious realm, then morph into entirely different kingdoms and realities and surround the viewer with the sultry and somewhat dangerous ambiance. They remind me of some “Pan’s Labyrinth” movie concept art. See for yourself. With the artist’s personal permission, here are some of the highlights of his exceptional work :
I paint on the canvas for almost 10 years. During this time I always improve my work expression and technics, searching for the right, unique ways of expressing either my personality or ideas, fantasy visions hidden inside of me. My adventure with computer graphic has started when I possessed the oil painting skills, but unfortunately I didn’t have time for that. My paintings concern merely the fantasy themes getting inspirations from world surrounded me every day. I focus on the landscapes subject. One of five works becoming very spontaneous but usually after the pre-painting or drawing I specify the aim. At the beginning I always define and describe the color pallet which I’d like to use in my work. I like using one dominating color which accents the main subject. My works consist the subject of some history I invented. Those ideas which I haven’t used yet will be a great part of my masterpieces in near future. The inspiration is everywhere for me. Therefore I can make painting with reference to every subject, but my attitude is various, so my painting world would be changed definitely providing me more constructive ideas.
