People have often asked who is behind this site, so I've written this little tome to cover the basic info:

My name is Glenn. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, but I've lived my adult life in New York City and New Jersey. I also spent about a year in Europe — just bumming around. Lived in Spain most of that time. When I returned to the States, I wasn't prepared for any sort of career (I put off working for a living as long as humanly possible).

In college I was a philosophy major, which says something about the intensity of my ambition. :-) Anyway, finding myself with no job skills, I naturally decided to pursue a career in advertising — it seemed more secure than bank-robbing, but I was wrong.

After knocking on many doors, I eventually broke into Madison Avenue, serving as a copywriter at agencies such as DMB&B and Young & Rubicam. After a while I even became a Creative Director at a few, including Saatchi & Saatchi, which just goes to show that, in America, with a little luck, anyone can grow up to be a pompous jerk.

Being a writer by trade, 3D computer graphics is new to me. I first became interested when visiting a website called digitalblasphemy. It was there I discovered the magical effects that are possible.

Many long serious books have been written on the subject, but for me the software seem like toys. Creating 3D art is like a game. I struggle for a while to figure out the process and then WHAM — the results never fail to surprise me.

I always have to rush off to show somebody. "Hey, look what I just did!" To me that's what 3D rendering is all about. It makes me feel like a kid.
