Mostly large sized artworks created with PovRay, Context Free Art, Apophysis, Mandelbulb3D, Processing, and other tools. I have a lot of fun collection and using free 3D models in Daz Studio, Poser5, & Bryce, but many renders have one or more items which do not allow commercial use.  (I am still very grateful for these items!)  Thus my emphasis on the above programs, as any original art I make can be offered in DA's "Print Shop".  Total sales to date = zero, so I have no where to go but up!

Comparison and Contrast . . . How is creating art like or different from watching TV?  1) Both activities can suck up vast amounts of time.  2) Sometimes you get pretty stuff to look at.  3) Creating art does not come with commercials, but does have goofs, mind blocks,      dead ends, and can sometimes leave just as bad an impression.  4) Both can be entertaining and fun.  5) Due to some strange humand weakness ( we love ruts? ) turning away from a bad      art project or bad TV show can be hard.  At least a bad Art project can be edited and      saved.  6) So TV needs a super Tivo, beyond  director's cuts, added & deleted
