I am a professional illustrator/graphic designer.  I work in both
flatwork, oils, Ink, watercolor charcoal etc... and in two and three 
dimensional computer graphics.  A lot of the work I have seen done by artists
here on the Aminet is exceptional.  I have decided to include a piece of mine
in this maelstrom of magnetic messages, and here is some information about it.


	'The Magician' is inspired by the Major Arcana card (Tarot) of the 
same name.  It incorporates all of the major symbolism with one exception, the 
Magician himself (or herself).  This is to symbolize the viewer taking an 
active role in the piece, becoming the Magician, the balancing force between
the worlds (here the world of binary information and the analog world).
It was used in a promotional music video for an A/V firm in Southern 
California also titled 'The Magician.'


	'The Magician' was created in Lightwave 2.0 using a Toaster-fueled
A2000.  With a GVP 030, rendering time was a little more than an hour.  All
the objects and textures were hand-crafted by me with the exception of the 
image map of Britton Revere's 'Apollo,' the framed painting in the background.


	I welcome your thoughts and opinions on this piece, I am also a artist
for hire, so feel free to jot me a note to my e-mail address listed above.
