Hey there, I'm really glad you stopped by. Go ahead, check my stuff out and spread it around some. Thats what using this Internet thing is all about.
I put this space together as a meta-site to display my work, art, and ongoing projects. I make a living as a freelance artist in Vancouver BC, and my motive is partly about self-promotion, but mostly about sharing the creativity.
I welcome contact about my work, projects, inventions and ideas -- or yours -- via e-mail at:
Much of my freelance work involves designing and building web sites. Here are some examples:
I also carry out freelance design and construction of custom wood furniture and outdoor structures. Here is an overview of mycontractor services:

Industrial Production
Preschool Furniture
Cafe Bench
Treehouse

Built-in Closet Addition

I engage in the artistic exploration of ideas across various media. Here are some samples of my work:

I have been working on a human powered hydrofoil invention since 2001. It is part kinetic sculpture and part biomimetic dolphin.
Below are links to progress on the project:

Treehouse By Design started as a modest single web page to show friends and family photos of a treehouse project I completed in 2005.
The site now provides information resources for do-it-yourself plans, step-by-step instructions, blueprint examples, and construction tips to help people build their own free standing tree houses.
The idea has quickly become a content portal for people interested in the treehouse lifestyle. The site now serves more than 3,700 unique visitors and 16,000 page views every month.

The Zoaria project is an experimental work with a symbolic interactive 3D display. I used Processing to code four demonstration applets.
Zoaria is ultimately about finding ways to enrich subjective human communication techniques using a visual-spatial medium to augment real-time interactions.

Moments is a text-based game anyone can play on a web browser. It is about connecting people through the sharing of anonymous stories about their life.
Moments is currently available as an early prototype demonstration. We are exploring how to create an Internet based exchange platform for text based confessionals and interactive narrative.
