I am Sage Crystalman, born in South Dakota, raised in Texas, and returned to SD. Most of 57 years, I’ve practiced many kinds of creative arts! Drawing, arts & crafts, wood, metal, plastic, carving, forging, costume creation for competition, digital (pc art and video game play maps), photography, videography, and some creative writing. I photograph wild flora & fauna, landscapes & storms. I use nature and natural materials with trick photography to create surreal images. With AI assistance, I create otherworldly, mythological & fantasy scenes & creatures. In 2024, I went into online photography sales, expanding into promptography digital art (AI generator) to match a collection of my own captions of humor and philosophy. I was thrilled! It was like a missing part of myself, complimenting my vast and multi-dimensional imagination. I have a forestry & wildlife conservation degree, and commune with Nature as often as I can. It has been my inspiration for evolving my photography / videography (and editing) skills over my lifetime. I started exploring & writing about cosmic structure & philosophy in respect to ontology, metaphysics, and epistemology at age 11, going at it for 33+ years! I'm an old soul as well, which helps... with everything!
