Artist, Photographer, Creative Director, Perfectionist and now retired. Those are just a few of the words used to describe Photonics’ president and founder, Alan Brown. A graduate of Syracuse University with a BS degree in Communications, majoring in Advertising Photography and minoring in Art History, Alan has amassed more than four decades of experience with all facets of visual media. Alan started PhotoDesign, an advertising photography studio in 1981. He then started Photonics, a graphic design and web development firm in 1989 (32 years in business and recently sold) and also for six years was a partner in a socially responsible eco-friendly women’s apparel company, Tulong LLC . Spare time, when it exists, allows Alan to explore his love of photography and illustration and his disdain for being a purist.
My goal in creating my illustrations is to weave a complex story in a setting both real and imagined.
I am a lover of the surreal and attribute some of my influences to Salvador Dali, René Magritte, Max Ernst and Giorgio de Chirico. I also want to give a nod to Hieronymus Bosch; his fantastical figures have inspired me, too.
While I think the titles of the illustrations shed some light on my thinking, I leave the full interpretation up to the viewer.
I have been exploring creating work in what I call a NeoDada style, as well as working in my NeoSurreal style.
As this is a digital piece of art, I can make a print to many different sizes. The range is from approximately 14x11 to 40x40.
