But is it Art?

Some of my more presentable artistic efforts.

I'm not really an artist. I'm an engineer that likes to draw sometimes. But maybe you'd like to see some of that work anyway, so here it is.

Traditional Drawings

A few traditional drawings on paper, mostly in pencil.

Loose Sketches

Some of my drawings are less polished and more conceptual.

Sketches of the Future Some Rural Drawings Character Sketches

Computer Generated Renderings

Although I greatly enjoy both the process and the results, I can't spare enough time to spend on computer generated 3D renderings. Nonetheless, I have finished some images, and provide them here. Both of these were done a long time ago using the free POVRay raytracing software.

Graphic Design

I've worked as a graphic designer before, and done some work on the side for fun as well.

Four icons Four icons

These are some examples of icons I designed many years ago for my friend Jay Wilson. He kept a site at mp3.com devoted to his unique brand of electronic acid-jazz music. Since he made no commercial "releases" and consequently had no album art, we decided that I would create a small icon for each of his songs. Here are some of the best. They are all in a unified style which makes the most of his eccentric titles with a lot of typograpical fun. The font is Verdana, if you're interested.
