GIMP 1.2.3
I made this for the Proofread project I'm working on. It's pretty simple and didn't take very long.

GIMP 1.2.3
I was feeling in an artistic mood and so I whipped this up. I really like clean designs like this.

GIMP 1.2.3, POV-Ray 3.1g
My BYU-UUG Logo below won the most votes, so I touched it up and now it's at the top of the BYU-UUG website.

My hand and a pencil :)
I drew this on March 16th but didn't get it scanned in till now. Not much, of course, but if you squint your eyes really hard, it looks somewhat real. :)

GIMP 1.2.3, Wacom Graphire
This is the first real picture I've done with my Wacom tablet. I have no idea what it's supposed to be, but oh well. I really like the cartoon look.

POV-Ray 3.1g, GIMP 1.2.3
I had the idea for this early this morning. In fact, this idea is why I re-rendered Checker II, which is how I got Checker IV and V. Anyway, there's no real meaning for 'extenso' -- it just sounded cool. (It's Latin, by the way.)

POV-Ray 3.1g, GIMP 1.2.3
I took Checker V and touched it up a bit in the GIMP. I like the semi-3D look to the blocks.

Here's a re-rendering I rather like.

GIMP 1.2.1
I spent an hour playing around with the GIMP airbrush tool. This is what I came up with. The airbrush is very cool. :)

GIMP 1.2.1, POV-Ray 3.1g
This is one of my submissions for the BYU Unix Users Group logo 'contest.' It uses Checker II as a background.

GIMP 1.2.1
I only meant to test a quick idea I had, but it ended up blossoming into this. And taking up way more time than I had intended. :)

GIMP 1.2.1
I cooked this up in a minute or so. I like the font (SF Automaton). In fact, I used that font in the logo up at the top.

XFractint 20.02.2, GIMP 1.2.1
I found a nice fractal (I can't remember which one, though :)) and touched it up a little bit in the GIMP, adding the text.

XFractint 20.02.2, GIMP 1.2.1
Fractint is cool. :) I explored around a bit, came upon this image (it's from a variation on the Mandelbrot set), and touched it up in the GIMP.
deepspace
Deepspace
2-2-02
GIMP 1.2.1
I made this on a Saturday when I should have been studying for the three tests I had the next week. :) But I couldn't resist the drive to create something -- especially as I hadn't done any artwork for a while -- and so here it is.

GIMP, Striker 0.21
I can't remember how I made the original tiles -- probably the GIMP. Anyway, I dug out my old Pixelspace tileset (see the Striker page for more information) and made this in a few minutes.

This is the scene below with a few slight changes (camera angle, refraction values, etc.).

POV-Ray 3.1g
I finally started playing around with POV-Ray again, and this is the result. I think it's pretty cool.

Blender 2.20
I made this in Blender one evening. Originally I had the red ball moving (using motion blur), but there was no point to it. Wait, there still isn't any point to it. Oh well -- it's art. :)

GIMP 1.2.1
During the summer of 2001 I worked on the Human Resources department's website for the company I was at (NextPage, Inc.), and this is the image I made for the top banner. I'm quite pleased with it.

GIMP
Project X was a end-of-the-year project for one of my computer science classes. This is my favorite of the logos I've done so far.
