My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

A dragon's eye view? Or the view from a Tralfamamadorian ship, searching for new specimens for it's zoo? Very cool lighting and clouds.

Lovely image Craig - though I'm a little envious. I'm still using Vue 6 Pro Studio, mostly because the money we had ferreted away for an upgrade to Vue 8 Complete 'accidentally' got spent on a new electric guitar!! Guess we can't all have everything we want! Great view.

For a quickie this is amazing. Actually, it's amaizing, quickie or not. Gorgeous!
