Yup! What can I say? It seemed appropo to post a pic of myself here too.
BIO
Troy Mathisen
...began his professional career as a recording engineer in 1977.
Shortly thereafter, he expanded into providing concert sound-reinforcement and technical support services for many "internationally-renowned" performing artists.
After a couple years of doing concert sound around the Pacific Northwest, he moved to Hollywood California, to enhance his education and experience in audio and music recording and production, for the film, television and record industries.
After 5 years with Paramount Recording Studios as a technician and audio engineer, he began his education in computer music production and graphic design.
Two years later Troy was avidly educating himself in 3D modeling, rendering and animation development and production, while working as a recording engineer for Buena Vista Sound at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank California.
By 1990, he was working as a soundtrack composer and music producer, while obtaining an education in simulation and virtual reality technologies.
Two years later he was working extensively in video engineering and production, giving occasional dissertations to college students on virtual reality environment engineering and computer music development and production for film and video.
In 1995, Troy devoted his full time to learning Internet and web-based technologies.
By 1997, he was functioning as Director of Internet and Multimedia Development for a high-tech telecommunications firm in the bay-area of central California.
To this day Troy continues to design and build intelligent web application software and information distribution systems, as well as focusing as much time as possible on his two greatest loves - the arts and sciences.

As it happened, or as it was supposed to happen, i met Troy through our brother Spider. What an unusual fellow! Most folks have maybe one talent that they do their best to develop during their lifetime--But Troy, you were blessed with so many that you need a personal assistant to keep track of 'em all! Love you too,bro and it is an amazing treat and honor to have this cool image dedicated to me. Now i 'd better get busy and comment on those other images...

Awwww, thank you beel! I can't really make any claim to talent perse though. It's more like a bad case of Adult ADHD and an avid love for the arts and sciences, not to mention decades of dedicated study and practical application in interactive multimedia development and production, and the computer sciences. As far as a personal assistant goes, do you know where I might find volunteers/padawans? I could sure use a few, you know how I love to teach, and I could get so much more done with the assistance! I digress, sorry! Anyway, thanks beel! In my world of abstract illustrative art and artists ...you rule supreme dood!
