I'm not sure what all to say about myself, I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA) and work as a graphic designer/computer technician for a print shop. I have a BS in Historic Preservation, but wasn't willing to go on for a Master's Degree, nor was I interested in teaching, so I found another career. I discovered Bryce way back when version 1 came out, but I didn't really get serious about the program, or 3D art in general, until a few years ago. When I'm not in front of the computer, I'm either making costumes or wearing them to a renaissance festival, or building a new rock-sculpture, or possibly wandering with a camera.
When I'm not making something, odds are I'm reading from my far too wide range of interests: Astronomy, Cosmology, Physics, Archeology, Anthropology, History, Current Events, NASA (of course) and anything else that happens to catch my attention. It's really hard to find enough time to do all of the things I want to be doing! What drew me to Renderosity is the many excellent artists who continue to inspire me to push myself as an artist. More recently I've added a selection of stuff to another online gallery location:http://nefariousdro.deviantart.com/ÂÂ

You know, I believe your mind works quite differently from mine. Friction and gravity and suchlike rarely cross my mind! Your results are amazing, and I'm glad you do this ... it's very cool!

You have a great talent, Michael! Interesting picture :)

I love this grouping. Imagine being ground-level and looking up. This must look like a Fae Stonehenge from down there. Somehow, that really tickles me. :)

Soldiers of Stone. Very impressive!

Mike, there's just something very zen about these rock stacks you do - just looking at them makes me smile. This does look like a little Stonehenge, and I suppose in a way it is... They certainly are stones, and Henge means circle from what I understand. Maybe not a perfect circle, but a circle nonetheless. I like it!

What do they do? Fall on any catepillar or bug that tries to get to those juicy leaves?

Awesome image. Stone stacking isn't easy at all, I've tried and failed every time.

Cool to see these again.

These never fail to amaze me! I think it's because no two are ever alike and they're so wonderfully transitory as long as there are no shifts that cause them to collapse. I love the fact that they're guarding an overgrown garden and I really like the strange idea that these were actually built by industrious little woodlice intent on making monuments to whatever industrious little woodlice would make monuments to. I love the fact that these have the quality of sentinels and as always, I keep intending to do something similar, but I have yet to get around to it. Really great work on multiple levels...as sculptures and as a photograph of those sculptures.

Cool. What I particularly like is the fact that you take the time to build the sentinels rather than weeding the garden :o)
