Well, here we are again!  The Dryden Experiment is approaching its third month in existence, and as one of its increasing contingent I can tell you it's been a hell of a fun ride thus far!  It was a simple set of circumstances which brought about one of the most profound changes in my artistic world, and by its very nature as a collective of "creatives", the flow shows little sign of abating.  Just a chance decision; one Saturday morning I simply elected to repost my work on DA, figuring the site needed pruning and re-planting.  It was during the course of that session that I encountered Joel @ the Dryden Experiment.  Since my contributing starting point with the Technoprey race, I've worked creatively with engineer Doug Equils from JPL in California, become involved with creating artwork for "Alder's World" (a story centred around the Technoprey which is being written by Joel himself), received an invite as conceptual artist (for my part) for Dryden contributor and independent writer Daniel Hunt's upcoming short story project and continue to keep a watchful eye on the progress of a collaboration between Dryden and T&T Games, to produce a Technoprey strategy game which I believe will be making an appearance on the iOS/Android platforms.  As the old saying goes, I'm can't promise that it will do for you what it's done for me up to now, but I'll be willing to bet you'll almost certainly get your own unique and interesting path to walk, should you choose to get involved with the Dryden Experiment.. all creatives are welcome to take a peek and get involved! *^^*

On a more introspective level, I've noticed that having a focus for my art has improved the general quality of my work as I strive to attain my own personal perspective, on a par with that of my guiding mentor in such matters of illustration - Gary Tonge.  Whether this is a new plateau of spiritual transformation within me, or simple desperation brought about by the demands of agreed reality I couldn't say, but there have been strides taken nonetheless!  It's been a delight to be creating such conceptual art; whether it's the continuing project work based upon Joel's Technoprey story "Alder's World", or individual pieces based upon Dan Hunt's "Revenge", and a "work in progress" based upon "Threshold", his more recent contribution.  How are you feeling about your own work lately?

Good luck to you all in your own little adventures!!

Peace *^^*

Well, what to say? Hmmm..

I live here on the outskirts of Sheffield (one of the greener cities on offer in the UK) and have lived in the general area all of my life. I've had a fascination with art all my life. Though it may have taken a back seat on several occasions for other expressive avenues such as writing or playing guitar in local bands, it's never been too far from my mind. I tend to feel that I have the greatest creative success when I leap between disciplines, but lately my drawing has been all-consuming due to a restless imagination which in turn was prompted by experimentation using Artrage.

Work-wise, I have held a few different jobs – music sales, data input.. anything which could make ends meet, but with exception to the music they seem always to have been frustratingly polar to my artistic interests, which lie at the very heart of who I am. Take where I am at the moment.. I'm currently employed as an IT Technician in education, but like Clark Kent, Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne, that is merely the day job. With a little delicate juggling towards my creativity, and a combination of perseverance and wishful thinking I am hopefully taking my first steps toward a new career.

Peace :)
