Many dont realize it, but it is a thin line between mathematics and art, you might say that art is math without all the annoying numbers and equations. The difference between an artist and a mathematician is like the difference between a madman and a genius - you decide which side of that equation the artist is on.
I have always had a passion for self expression from my earliest memories. These days I fulfill that passion by creating art, music and animations on my computer.BIOI was always a lover of music but found that I lacked any ability to play an instrument - I think that was what lead me art, it was a substitute form of expression. My art was not all that good either and so I took up writing, but I never gave up my art or love of music. Over the years I tried my hand at composing music and when I bought my first computer [a C64] I started creating pieces of music, well, such as can be done with such limited sound. But it was not until much more recently when I bought a PC that I started being able to truly explore not only music but also art. I dont know why, but paper and pencil or canvass and paint or any of the other things I had tried never seemed to work well with me - you could see what I was trying to do, but I couldnt make it happen, yet when I started working with Photoshop I found that after 40 years of trying with no success, suddenly I could draw and create the things that before I had only seen in my head. Later I found Poser and began to do animations by combining backgrounds I drew in Photoshop with figures from Poser. At the moment I do animation both with Poser, and the old fashion way [doing each frame in Photoshop] and with combinations of both, I use my own voice [though sometimes modified with CoolEdit Pro] and I supply music created with Note Worthy Composer to complete the work. If I had listened to people when I was in my teens, I would have dropped my art and never bothered with the music or the writing. It just took a few decades to discover what was inside trying to get out.

Sacred places rising from the land... thinking the myth of where the sun, or was it the moon, shed tears, that brought water to the people. Moody, surreal piece.

I've heard of the moon shedding tears, though different cultures have different myths of course. I tend to think of the moon as the more mystic and the sun the more .... well, non-mystic. That's why I used a moon symbolism in the picture. You might also notice that the rock formations contain animal shapes. I have a rather shamanistic view of the world.
