Most of the images I create these days are computer graphics from fractal generating programs (99%). Back in the older days (1950's through the early 1980's), most of my work was pencil, pen, oils, and acrylics (no fractals). But I stopped being a professional illustrator during the mid 1970's. I no longer consider my self as anything like an "artist", or any of my work as "art". They are just experiments within the software that I use. I do still create various decorative items using wood. But this is mostly scroll work and lathe turning. Things that I occasionally sell at art and craft fairs, or at the local renaissance fair (Scarborough). And what does not sell, becomes presents for Christmas and birthdays. ;-} The only thing that I term as "art" in my daily life is the ability to apply a system of principles and methods employed in the performance of a set of activities, and the skill that is attained by study, practice, and observation of such activities.
