"The more I read the papers,
The less I comprehend,
The world and all its capers
And how it all will end."
--Ira GershwinBIOI have always liked reading fiction. In fact, I don't read much else. From the time I was a kid, writers like Edward Eager, E. Nesbit, C.S. Lewis astounded me. Then I grew up and discovered the heady pleasures of Barbara Kingsolver, Michael Cunningham, Tobias Wolfe, Jane Bowles.

I like telling my own stories, but have found that I lack either the skill or patience to craft words with the artistry of those writers listed above. However, imagery (whether hand-drawn or created with the aid of Poser) has provided me with the medium to get my stories on paper.

Renderosity has given me the forum to share those stories, and for this I am grateful. I am also grateful for the other denizens of this forum who take the time to offer intelligent responses to my images--or even just a quick word of encouragement.
