Hmm what can I say? Perhaps a better title?

Some years ago I made a shader model to be used to render samples of my Maya Shader Networks. At some point I zoomed in on a clear material and decided it would make a great desktop!

FusionOrb, so called because of the origins being the mysterious arrival of the Orb. Of course some scientists got their hands on it and utilised it to produce a fusion generator. Why not hey!

My variation based on Scott Chitwood's "Evolution 3e" genome offered up as an evolutionary experiment.

I pondered the title of this image as it evolved. Train of thought was going in three directions, Star, Flower and Ai Brain. Of course my better half saw a flower and so it was. The rest is fairly self evident, apparently.

This is my first official Flame creation. This includes two variations of the Red Loop genome, Red Loop Blades is the primary desktop (my favourite). The Dots version is an older version I am still very fond of so I have decided to share it anyway.

Flower created for and inspired by my beloved Kerry.

This is a CGI, 3D work, produced using Maya (mac) for modelling and Photoshop (mac) for creating the surface images and rendered using Mental Ray (mac). I put many hours into this work and the original framed print sold during the opening night of SALA’s exhibition titled "he Art of the Flower" held at Burra Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) during the year 2008.

I put many hours into this work and the original framed print sold early on during the opening night of SALA’s exhibition titled "Wind" held at Burra Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) during the year 2008.

An example of the vastly different treatments possible.

Original image taken at the Kapunda Cemetery.

Here is the first of my posts showing the work I do manipulating my photographs, beginning with fairly straightforward colour manipulation.

I love this old rusting Simca.
“Aronde” means “swallow” in Old French and it was chosen as the name for the model because Simca’s logo at that time was a stylized swallow.

Burramundi - Colourful winged fish native to the region of Burra in rural South Australia. Both solo and social creatures with an artistic bent, have been known to lend their image to the promotion of SALA in Burra.

Well finally my first real post...

Found this old tin advertising sign the other day and couldn't resist using it as a jumping off point for some new work. I am interested in producing a range of cards to sell around Burra and like the idea of merging old aesthetics with my computer generated work.

My first digital portrait. This one is Kerry (my beloved and mother of my child) which I produced for a portrait exhibition for the Burra Regional Art Gallery (BRAG).

My second digital portrait. This one is Louise (my sister) which I produced for a portrait exhibition for the Burra Regional Art Gallery (BRAG).

PS3 XMB theme based on the Leopard/Snow Leopard folder badges. I have put them in their own context and the images are constructed entirely from scratch. Constructed using Photoshop (mac) and PS3 Theme Builder (win). The backdrop provided with the theme is also completely my own work, which was created using Oxidiser (mac) and Photoshop (mac).
