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.

the intricacies of the colony, and the interactions of shape & shadow, are beautifully conceived. As beautiful is the soft glow about it all, as if you recounted it to us from a sweetness-tinged memory. Or as if the light in this quadrant of the universe is simply diffused by some out-of-frame atmosphere or gaseous cloud or whatever. For all the detail, it's as much a study in curving shape and sweep, and the way light plays off it in the darkness. A beautiful abstract. And glowing with the nostalgia of 'home'...Fine work, Craig, and very sensitively envisioned...
