I’m Irish though recently married a Peruvian Gal and am currently living in Lima. I’m a varied Artist in both Digital and Traditional Media and was recently introduced ro Redbubble by a friend of mine on Deviant Art named Lauren Gary/ Lauren Zorn. I have become increasingly tired of some of the cliques that exist on Deviant Art and the over-popularity of what is sub-standard and sometimes appaling artwork. I grow ever more tired of that particular community with every passing day.

As far as fractals go I never even heard of them til April 2007 and started with Apophysis and quickly tired of it. I discovered Ultra Fractal almost a year ago to this day 6th September 2008 and have been loving every second of it!

I have recently opened an Account on Renderosity more with the aim of sharing Fractal works (which I have decided not to share on dA anymore) with a more objective and sometimes critical community there. All this as I develop my own portfolio site which I hope to launch in the next 2 weeks.

My preferred genre is Painting and my favourite application (by a country mile) is Painter… Next to That Photoshop (which I have been using for 10 years or more now and teaching for around 4 – as well as Illustrator), Ultra Fractal and Illustrator… in that Order…

From one moment to the next I have no clue what I am going to be doing – what application I’m going to be use, what genre or if it’ll be digital or traditional….

I am self-taught in all have precious little patience or discipline and hate control. that way at least I can say whatever I produce is honest and straight from the soul

I have chosen to include some of my own favourite pieces of my own work along with a few of the popular ones here. I hope you like what you find
