Thanks for stopping by for a 'sneak preview'...
"Dig Deeper" is my portfolio CD (MacOSX and Windows) of recent professional new media design work, including corporate web and intranet sites, educational and entertainment CD's and kiosk presentations, designs for print, and 3D animations.
It also features extensive sections on my work in fine arts media from over the past 30 years. This work in ceramics, photography, drawing, painting and collage has served to inform all my design work, and is the vital 'back story' to my creative approach, hence the Portfolio title, "Dig Deeper".
Please contact me to have a CD mailed to you – it's free if you are requesting it in connection with a bona fide employment opportunity or freelance contract proposal (please supply details). Dig in!

My talents, technical abilities, and professional achievements are amply documented and demonstrated here. I have references from reliable sources.
