How did I Started with Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom, and future goals with public art stewardship?
As I started within photography in my middle school of April 2002 and not too sure what to used it beside using it for my artwork to draw, in fact I used it to make something create it as design advertising.
In March 2017 I had begun started taken continuing education course at the Delaware College art and design school learned how to edit images for long term use experiences to moving my goals as graphic art and design Photoshop career opportunities in the future it's a prime example to own a business
Moving up with my images into my adobe Photoshop and lightroom. I had over 15M pictures between 2002 thru 2023, It's hard to pick the best ones to Photoshop and lightroom to share my images on social media sites such as Instagram (For my art only) and my artist websites.
As since I’m a transit enthusiast within art and photography and longest-term experiences travel throughout northeast areas had moved into a Graphic design editor photoshop via Adobe.
There it started it before photograph and moved it to Photoshop/lightroom.
I started photograph first before starting to draw and color via colored pencils to added with design.
I developed a technique of projecting images from photographs to enlarge and trace them. I have found using colored pencils give my drawings thicker, bright, intense color and texture. My art process is evolving into more original ways of presenting the same subject matter.
One of my artwork designs had been used to translated into Photoshop of a images
As I moved to Adobe lightroom to beginning to be edited it before Photoshop.
As I transferred this image into Adobe photoshop removed the bus company paint scheme and adverting ready to Photoshop.
Filter to vanishing point to draw a line to make angle to copy and paste to translate my artwork images into original image.
On my next page on Adobe Photoshop before copy and paste translate into my original picture from Vanishing point mask Photoshop.
My artwork had been translating paste into my original image from vanishing point Photoshop as a result from my original picture I took to translate my artwork that looks like a full wrap adverting. This Photoshop took me mins and hours to get the details to make it real.
What you about to see for example of The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority 3D bus wrap from WhitehouseAdvertising.com looks like, here were I current live Wilmington, Delaware, there are over 8 full bus wraps adverting from different companies that already had wrapped and unwrapped couple months or years later to start something new to add on it. Here are couple buses that had back or half wraps rear.
My work I’m working on a design project of a bus adverting wrap looks like of my own making theme of ‘’This could change everything.’’ Now i know people don't like full wraps in general is because they can’t see when they planning to get off the bus at the next stop. Not all buses that had full wraps. Some transit systems and other companies that had wraps around or without around the windows.
As i started with 3D tablet to add my design project for my future full artist wrap adverting
Its only took me about 2 hours to edit project via adobe Photoshop. And share it on my social media sites including Instagram.
Before and after results from Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom
As graphic design art Photoshop over the past 7 long term years. Over 15 million Pictures in the past 2 decades unit moving up with Photoshop/lightroom editing via Adobe.

Moving up career job program as public art steward at Delaware Art Museum for a future goal ahead?
As I had joined Public art Steward at the Delaware Art Museum “I’ve worked on a few of the public art projects with the Creative Vision Factory over a decade. I’m a transit enthusiast within art and photography and travel throughout northeast areas. How did I get there as an artist? Art had chosen me to keep my brain more productive and stronger to move forward into art galleries, getting connected with other people in art galleries and local artists around Wilmington, Delaware and north east areas between New York City and Philadelphia. I had also faced criticism about my artwork and photography that people don’t understand about my artwork that had made up a narrative that tried to put my artwork down, ( I kept going with my art) from resilient, The more criticism they have, the more artwork will become more productive and stronger.
I want to get lots out of Public Art Stewards. My goal is to create a new business. For example, opening art galleries & art studios where people can make art. I’m excited about learning to communicate with people. I try to learn as much as I can about things I have been to get involved with. I joined this program (public art stewardship) at the Delaware Art Museum since May 2nd is an awesome opportunity for me to pick up some helpful tools and meeting new people to communicated to share my artwork and my story backgrounds within public transit enthusiastic artwork projects with my own art studio and the Creative Vision Factory.
Wilmington’s outdoor gallery boasts artworks ranging from the 19th century to the present. From memorials and sculptures to mosaics and murals, our environments are beautified by artists. Artists are essential to our communities. They use the city as a canvas to inspire their neighbors. Their creations enliven the cityscape, acting as tangible expressions of their city’s cultural heritage, and becoming beacons for civic engagement, public pride, and even attracting business investments.
However, unlike indoor galleries and museums, our city’s artistic outdoor installations are not under constant supervision. As a result, the efforts of our artists are at risk. With chipping and fading paint, rust, and corroding metal, much of Wilmington’s public art has fallen into disrepair, exposed to years of neglect and weather damage. If left unattended, these pieces will only deteriorate further until unrecognizable by their community.
To prevent the ruin of these artworks, the Delaware Art Museum is debuting a transformative new initiative, the Public Art Stewards Training Program. This workforce readiness program will train Public Art Stewards to clean, conserve, and document public art. A six-month pilot, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, begins next year with a cohort of six to eight Wilmington residents who will steward 30 works of public art in downtown Wilmington and surrounding neighborhoods.
Professional conservator Margalit Schindler will teach the Public Art Stewards how to assess, conserve, maintain, and document their outdoor gallery. With onsite hands-on experience, Margalit will train participants in the skills and tools necessary to care for and document 30 key works of art around Wilmington. In tandem with Margalit’s teachings, local partners will add training in essential readiness skills, including digital literacy and financial coaching. With these additional trainings, participants will be equipped to both obtain and sustain employment.
