Michael Oswald, aka ‘Michaelo’ is an amazing digital artist working out of Calafornia. From his site:

My style is best described as ‘photo-manipulation on steroids’ combining unique Photoshop techniques and digital painting. With the exception of the original digital photograph, my work is created entirely on a computer utilizing my knowledge of digital techniques and the traditional art skills I learned in my younger days.

Here is a small selection of his recent work – much more can be seen on his personal site, where prints are also available for purchase.
