Click here to order a two-hour DVD of Scott's interview with author D. M. Murdock.
$19.95 plus shipping
D. M. Murdock is one of the great scholars of comparative religion and author of five books that explore the evolution of Christianity, the theory of Mythicism, and the latest scholarship of the New Testament. Being an avid reader of history, this is one of the authors I have long admired, so it was an honor to interview her for the very first in this series of interviews I have planned.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with her books, you are in for a treat. No matter what your religious beliefs, you are sure to learn a great deal from listening to someone who has spent decades of researching a subject that has fascinated scholars for all of recorded history.
Complementing the words of this visionary researcher are dozens of my own photographs and even a few paintings that I have gathered from my travels around the world. I hope the combination of new facts, ideas, and images will spur you to look at this subject with new eyes and insights. Your conclusions may not be the same as mine, or Ms. Murdock's, but they are sure to challenge some of the things we've never even thought to question before.

Here's a new documentary I just finished.
Since it is two hours long, I couldn't put it up at a very high resolution and it looks best on a mac, since that is the gamma I was using to create it,
but it should be clear enough to get the idea. I'm doubtful that anyone but me will be that interested in it, but it was a great education in making it!

Here's a link to Scott's one-hour video, "The Banishment of Beauty."
It is in 4 parts, but just click the first one in the playlist on the right and the next three should automatically play one after the other.

Susan Lyon -
Sketching the Figure in Oil
2 hours - $34.95
This is the latest online video of Susan Lyon as she takes you through
the process of painting quick figure studies in oil from live models.
The video consists of a discussion of materials, color mixing, thirteen demonstrations in oil,
as well as a slide show of paintings with a narration by Susan.
The lessons run on both Macs and PCs. Here's how it works. You download the selected video lesson to your computer permanently and view it as many times as you like for the life of the computer. The lesson cannot be copied, burned to a DVD, or moved to another computer. This is the reason why the lessons are so much cheaper than those we sell as DVDs, which require so much shipping, storage, etc. These lessons are exlusively offered online and cannot be ordered as DVDs.

Photoshop Video - Table of Contents
I'm using Photoshop CS4, but most of the tools have been a part of Photoshop for many years, so the video should be fine even for older versions.
If you are using the Elements version of Photoshop, this video won't be much help in using Elements, but might be a cheap way to see what tools you're missing and whether or not you actually need the full version of Photoshop, or if Elements serves your needs well enough.
Here is a general summary of the topics covered in the online Photoshop video lesson.
This two-hour video is meant as an introduction to all the basic tools I use as an artist to adjust photos and paintings.
I'm putting this detailed summary down so you'll know exactly what the lesson covers.
While there is no way to cover every single detail of every tool, I hope this will be a good introduction to how an artist might use Photoshop.
