My name is Vernon Roy Carlson.  I was born in Alabama, raised in Utah, spent 11 years in California, moved back to Salt Lake City in 2012.  I've been drawing since the age of 3.  I began creating computer art in 1980, (those were not the days), by writing math/machine code to poke and peek X,Y values.  Started Bryce in 1998, and Poser shortly there after.  I paint with oils, acrylics, and I've been airbrushing since 1983.  I now enjoy making kinetic light-up robotic sculptures.  I also synthesize audio effects and music.  I am currently writing a graphic novel for animated series,(11+yrs so far). 
(It can take up to one month of rendering to create only 30 seconds of animation! Painful.)
