 pencil sketch Greetings, mysterious wanderer of the web. You have clicked your way into the only page at my site that could be construed as having something directly to do with commerce. Don't rush to order a logo design (unless you feel compelled to), that's not why I created my site. This page was rather one of many after-thoughts when I set out to compile some of my photos of wild places and wild things and some of my essays on science, nature, philosophy, and things beautiful, rational, and spiritual. Turns out this page may get more traffic than do the pages that ruminate on the origin of space-time. Must be that commerce angle. But since you're here, why not take a moment or two to look around....


This page is my on-line micro-gallery/portfolio. The images may be copyrighted, please don't copy or use them. The examples included below fall into five categories: graphic design, digital illustration, logo design, three-dimensional design, and 'traditional' media. Apart from preliminary sketches, the orca and panther illustrations were created entirely within Macromedia® FreeHand. (As clean digital vectors, the original artwork is much sharper than these low-resolution bitmaps). The sketch to the left is by, but not of, myself, it's a doodle from back in the day when doodling was a near-constant pathology.

"Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know." - Groucho Marx

When I used to paint my influences were Cézanne, Gauguin, Modigliani, Warhol, and whatnot. Mostly whatnot.



"Some say that art is a complicated way of saying very simple things, but we know that art is a simple way of saying very complicated things."
