Absolutely ! Email me for details and I’m sure I’ll do my best to help out.

I rarely refuse permission to display my artwork in galleries when I’m asked. I do insist on being asked first though, so please email me in that case. I do not allow use of the image for site decoration however.

I just wanted something clean and simple.. The layout does that, and I chose a slightly blue-grey to be as neutral as possible. It’s more for the galleries than anything else as it allows the visitor to see the artwork without being too distracted.

This is why I’ve also avoided animations and paid for a domain rather than have bloody annoying pop-up spam

The reason for the previous answer is that my artwork has been stolen in the past and used as site decoration for a couple of sites – the worst case being a “warez” site which is a wholly unfair association.

Yes, the right mouse button (and image toolbar) have been disabled throughout this site in order to partially protect artwork. I always reply to email requests for higher res images of artwork however – I normally send via email attachment.Update: now that the site has been transferered and updated, I’ve now enabled saving of images, and supplying them at much higher resolution using the wonderful shadowbox.

Maya, Lightwave and Modo. .. Don’t ask me which is the best of the 3 because they all are equally strong. Some users will tell you one is better than the other, but they’re usually elitist types. Having worked with them all I found the only real difference is the price and workflow. To be honest; the skills you bring as an artist are far more important than the technical abilities of either of these packages.

- I found 3DSMax the easiest to learn, but then again I’d been using various 3D packages for years and 3DSMax was the most recent I started with. Experience with other packages just made the transition easier possibly.

Don’t be silly. ..

There are so many things that dictate how long it takes to do an image that it’s an impossible answer. Some people tend to think that modelling an image as opposed to painting is almost “cheating”. It takes a heck of a lot longer to set up a modelled scene than painting from scratch however.

- a good painting normally takes about a week. a 3D image can take months of modelling and organising especially if done in your freetime.

Since updating my site to the new format the very old stuff had no real place.. It will come back later, but be very well hidden deep in the site. I’ll make a note here when that’s done.
