Hello, I am the Amazing Bigelow, known more commonly as Brian Bigelow, and this is my page about me. This site was originally a joint venture between me and Jon Matthis. He came up with the brilliant concepts for the comic strips (and christened this site Twisted Comics) and I (ideally) drew them; but, since I was too lazy to draw the comic strips, we ended our partnership and indefinitely postponed our respective careers as comic gods. He more or less forgot about the site; so, being the opportunist that I am, I seized control of the site and began using it to further my own personal goals.

This site quickly became a vehicle for displaying my digital art, which I create using Photoshop and an assortment of photographs. So: "Twisted Comics" transformed into "The Art of the Bigelow," but, then, it kept metamorphosing and is becoming a piece of acid-logic, but, primarily due to the URL, the site officially retains the title "Twisted Comics."

This part is all about me and my wonderful ass. I'm a 19 year old freshman at Middle Tennessee State University which just happens to be right down the street from "the center of the universe." As it turns out, MTSU actually has a pretty decent Physics department; so, I'll probably be staying here for my entire undergrad years.

I make computer art on a nigh obsolete, yet still pimptight, graphics makin' machine (a 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon, 100 GB hard drive, 512 MB RAM, with Photoshop 6.0.1 and a really old, yet still awesome, H.P. Scanner) and a new 5 Megapixel digital camera (I've begun taking photos for photos' sake and as the basis for new digital art) and I recently purchased a new HP printer, so, if you decide you want a print of one of my pictures, just ask (I can also do posters, but those'll cost ya). I am also quite skilled at traditional art techniques (drawing, painting, sculpting, etc.) and have branched off into poetry.
