Author: Russ McIntosh

Russ McIntosh has been working as a graphic designer for nearly 15 years; though he enjoys making a living being creative, it is his personal work that drives his imagination and fuels his soul. The images he has created have many layers in them, and though at first glance the main composition does register with viewer, it is upon further reflection that they can see “hidden images” that were originally unnoticeable. If you look at the shadow shapes and highlights within the image, other objects will start to take focus. Visit his website at http://www.RussMcIntosh.com
