My name is Tony Shaw and I have been working for a UK Bank since I left school in 1983. I have spent from 1990 working in their IT department as a software developer. With the threat of redundancy hanging over me next year, and having written a web-site for my Dad, I decided to train myself up in web and graphic design and as a result found Renderosity.
The graphic tools I'm using in my spare time are Adobe Photoshop, Bryce, Apophysis, Terragen and Vue ... I don't have any particular favourite as they all have their good and bad points.
I have not posted some of my very early works as they are quite basic and would not look out of place in comics, however I hope you will take time to browse through my gallery so far and any comments, whether good or bad will be greatly received as they will keep me motivated and hopefully improve my designs.
Happy rendering.

It has taken quite a bit of sheer ability on your part, Tony to bring all of this together with such finesse. This is magnificent in every aspect. The seas, driving rains, rocking of the ketch and the atmosphere. Kudos and bravo to you. A definite fav.

I must say that I liked 'Dangerous passage' for what it was - a ship edging carefully through an awkward channel. But this new image of yours is superb! Very well done indeed! It is great to see new talent coming on so fast! Willing to reach out and ask questions of both the world and themselves. Bravo!!!
