A pile of my old, old computer artwork. Figured I'd better get it off of the floppies it's been stored on for so many years before the damned things fail and I loose all my old memories for good. :) Click on an image to expand it, and see anything I had to say about it. (God.. I feel old) The dates on the images are taken from the file dates.

Chances are that the files were created earlier, and that the date I've used is the date it was transfered over to the PC platform, or saved to it's backup disk. This is a section under construcion, as I can only add so many of these a day before I start to cry.

As an interesting note, I can still remember doing most of these, and what I was thinking when I was working on it. Gah. :)

Old, old artwork. Much of this art was done on my old high school's Amiga 2500, using Turbo Silver (For the ray tracing) & Deluxe Paint (2D stuff) . Most of it was created in 1990/1991. Might be a few from very early 1992.

I had no idea I had this much Amiga stuff still sitting around. I actually have more, but it's all on actual Amiga disks. I have to give huge thanks to Ma Baker CDDHS's wonderfull AV lady for saving my sanity, and letting me play on the Amiga pretty much whenever I wanted it. Thanks Ma!

I also did up a little demo called "Marauder's Lamer" demo. It was basically a slide show for the amiga that played music in the background, (you can grab the tune here, it's "Luna Waves", I believe it was by Uncle Tom of Razor 1911 or 4mat of Anarchy. Great tune.) and displayed many of these images as it ran through. The disk was DOA, regretably. I was all proud of myself for making the damned thing to. It was released at one of my uber l33t computer parties. My parent's basement, on the farm. Like 10 guys. :)

BTW: The Comodore Amiga in my humble opinion is the coolest computer that was ever invented by mankind. It was the first consumer level computer that was really "cool". It had true multitasking, 4 channel digital stereo sound, 512 K of RAM, 256 colour display, 3.5" disk drives, and a useful GUI.

Quite an improvement from my XT at the time, which had no sound card, dual 5.25" low density disks, and ran DOS (Text only OS) with a Hercules Monochrome (Amber) graphics adapter.

The damned things were just amazing. Especially considering the fact that they came out in 1985..... It would take the IBM 10 years to catch up. A true revolution in computing, Livewire brought his Amiga 2000 to school back in 1990, and I almost died when I saw it. That machine totally changed the way I looked at computers, and what was possible with them. A revolution in personal computing it's a damned shame that Commodore killed themselves. The Amiga is supposedly making a come back, but they've been talking about that for years. I can't see it being the revolution it was at the time, more than likely any new machine they come up with will be just another PC, regretably.

As a side note, you'll notice some pics below that were adverts for Megabyte BBS. Megabyte was the first BBS I co-sysoped. (Dark Lord Edmund (Ed Howard) and I were going to start one, but never got around to it, before that.) The guy who ran Megabyte, Steve Pytlik, (Who also helped me put together my first clone, a 286/16) was killed in a car accident in 2000. He was my age at the time (26).... Makes you feel your mortality.

Some of the slickest artwork I ever did was when I was with Control, a startup demo group. Data (Josh Fender) a caller to my BBS, and sysop of his own board in Shelburne got me involved. We never actually did anything, but I did do a wack of concept art for a project Data was working on, but to the best of my knowlegde never finished. He did do one little loader for a BBS run by the guys who currently own Unique Computers. The board was called Windows Academy, and the demo had killer music and vector balls.. Hmmmm. Vector Balls. I can't find the demo regretably.

Data became long distance, and we just sorta stopped talking. :(
