Many dont realize it, but it is a thin line between mathematics and art, you might say that art is math without all the annoying numbers and equations. The difference between an artist and a mathematician is like the difference between a madman and a genius - you decide which side of that equation the artist is on.
I have always had a passion for self expression from my earliest memories. These days I fulfill that passion by creating art, music and animations on my computer.BIOI was always a lover of music but found that I lacked any ability to play an instrument - I think that was what lead me art, it was a substitute form of expression. My art was not all that good either and so I took up writing, but I never gave up my art or love of music. Over the years I tried my hand at composing music and when I bought my first computer [a C64] I started creating pieces of music, well, such as can be done with such limited sound. But it was not until much more recently when I bought a PC that I started being able to truly explore not only music but also art. I dont know why, but paper and pencil or canvass and paint or any of the other things I had tried never seemed to work well with me - you could see what I was trying to do, but I couldnt make it happen, yet when I started working with Photoshop I found that after 40 years of trying with no success, suddenly I could draw and create the things that before I had only seen in my head. Later I found Poser and began to do animations by combining backgrounds I drew in Photoshop with figures from Poser. At the moment I do animation both with Poser, and the old fashion way [doing each frame in Photoshop] and with combinations of both, I use my own voice [though sometimes modified with CoolEdit Pro] and I supply music created with Note Worthy Composer to complete the work. If I had listened to people when I was in my teens, I would have dropped my art and never bothered with the music or the writing. It just took a few decades to discover what was inside trying to get out.

Then I'd say it did the job it was intended for [heh] Thanks for the comment - I like hearing what people think or how something effected them.

Thanks, I'm glad people are enjoying it. The concept is just my quirky way of looking at the universe and when I get an image like this in my head I just have to create something to allow me to share it with others, I wish I could take credit for the style [well, I did it so I can, but I mean credit for deciding what style to use] but mostly the style dictated itself - since I wanted it done very quickly and I was using Photoshop 4 and doing each frame as a set of layers with different parts of the picture on each layer, I needed to keep the complexity of the pictures limited and I had to re-use each part as much as possible with only minor changes. Mostly I used the PS persective tool and the distort tool whenever possible and only re-drew a part when I had to and to make that work I had to keep the number of colours limited and keep the style simple and this was what seemed to work - but I am glad that it did.
