I am deciding between these quotes: Believe it or not, I can actually draw. Michaelangelo

A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul. The former is easy, the latter hard as he has to represent it by the attitude and movement of the limbs. Leonardo Da Vinci

i will take you places that exist only in your imagination. k//eternal

There are of course more possibilities, and we are looking at them. Naoki Maeda

I am only putting work from this year on the wiki so all older will be here

Aurora. Thinking of the name I thought of a land of ice next to the water with an aurora in the sky. Quantum Fury. Inspired by a song of the same name by Ephexis, I saw a screaming man's head being beat by balls of energy with destruction in the background. The screaming I just ripped a tattoo off the internet and used edge-detect and reduced it to simple shapes to make a screaming head. I did not think of the destruction so it just became a cartoon-like fire.

My design for the Signature School Directory cover. I decided a distinctly multicultural design would be hard to do without a disregard to accuracy or using a cliche like a certain phrase in different languages or flags of the world. I therefore decided a simple design would do the job. I based what later would be the design from the Car Track Fractal and used dithering to convert the colors to the necessary black-and-white (I have extensive experience working with dithering algorithms) Yet another of my submission designs, this was for Terry Becker and Friends. The idea was to integrate the city into a musical event and of course the event's name. The music got cut out due to lack of room and more universality. Complacency My attempt to draw a realistic person on a computer with aid of just a mouse (like any other drawing tool would help I was using automatic drawing tools). While not the best, the face, right hand, and bottom could use a lot of work, it has a good pose and decent hair and clothing. The idea came from the line "For what is there, for the light to believe it, if darkness does not exist?" I paraphrased it on the left side to counter the man falling into an abyss. Kick Butt: This work was inspired by the famous seen in __They Live__ where Nada yells, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and to kick butt, and I'm all out of bubblegum." To that end Nada from that seen was vectorized into outlines. Next to keep things interesting, I added a "starburst" design centered in him to the image where I had multi-colored parts. Note to view this image you require either a plug-in for Firefox or a switch to Konqueror. Anyway, I thought an interesting idea would be to make a morph between a yarnball and a cat so that is what I made.
