This image and others in the "Pop Goes The Culture" series showcase the unique style that Charles has developed for his fine-art color prints (with accompanying animations). The content appears whimsically figurative or seemingly random but the unfolding of personal perceptual space lies at the heart of the seriousness with which these complex compositions have been engendered. They simply require your perceptual apparatus to unfold their secrets.

Forms of Art

Charles H Carver

Animations & Art Prints

Charles continues to refine his techniques via two basic thrusts: (1) investigation of the dynamic relationships that unfold in object-rich environments, including the immediate selection of form and meaning early in the perceptual process, and (2) the development of illustration and painterly techniques that retain the quality of hand-crafted sketches and paintings.

Fantasy & Gaming Art

Charles is the Art Director and Principle Illustrator for The Eldritch Press, a micro-publisher focused on creating role-playing game content. His artistic style is unique to the fantasy illustration landscape.

of Your Own Images With Charles?

Personal learning sessions

See anything that speaks to you or sparks your own creativity? If not, look around a bit more. If you do, consider a deeper dive into the potential of your own image optimization skills with personalized learning sessions with Charles. This is not a Photoshop 'tips' session or basic landscape photography course; it is an explorative dialogue to determine potential paths to investigate and techniques to experiment with as you increase your own awareness of readily available image optimization and image alteration techniques that may apply to your images.

Learning sessions may be done remotely. The initial consult goal (and pre-consult assignment) is to simply explore a range of applied styles and techniques, starting with specific examples of digital art, painting, photography or illustrations that are presented on this site. Next, we will look carefully at samples of your own work, not to so much to apply a formal critique, but to develop a receptivity toward discovering what you would really like to convey through your images as you investigate the digital environment as a set of tools.
