# About me
I first began experimenting with digital art back in the early 80's.I used Commodore (8 BIT) computers and very simplistic software.
All of the art I did back then was pixel art. I later purchased an Amiga (16 BIT) computer and continued my venture with a lot more colors, resolution and a lot more powerful and versatile software. The Amiga was the first platform on which I experimented with 3D modeling and raytracing, I was utterly fascinated with the possibilities and versatility computer graphics and design has to offer. Not too long after that, I started using PCs. As technology has progressed and evolved, so too have my skills and my passion for art has increased tenfold since the beginning. I find inspiration from everything and everyone around me and love to examine other people's work; not to critique it, but to absorb it and enjoy it. I don't accept criticisms of my work very well because I believe that art is an expression of one's inner self and should not conform to any particular model or standard of what art should be. My work continuously evolves as I see fit. I do not tend to stick with any particular genre or style of art because each style represents a particular personal emotion, thought process, or experience. We all interpret the world around us slightly differently and that's what makes our particular mode of expression unique; as we are all unique individuals.

Beautiful gallery, you are a fractal wizard! I'd like to see some of your art as allover sublimated shirt designs.

Don Allen... Aren't you that guy who made the Timbres Of Heaven soundfont?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are absolutely correct and I'm about to release yet another version.
Tons of new patches added in extended banks.
Small world!

I've added some picked basses, a ton of synthy stuff, including some waveforms from the Commodore 64 SID chip and unique patches such as a Nose Bass. Oh, I almost forgot the Roland TB-303 timbres I created and sampled from Rebirth RB-338 2.01. Too bad Propellerheads doesn't offer Rebirth anymore.
I will be including a "changelog.txt" file with the next release, so people know what has changed since the last release.
You'll just have to wait and see. There will also be an updated Patch Map for use with Anvil Studio as usual.

Shouldn't the Nylon Harp be a GS variation of the GM Atmosphere? For Roland SC-88 compatibility reasons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it should and I'm glad you reminded me of that. When I made it, I didn't realize there was such a GS patch.

Well, you do now. I have a (still in the works) soundfont that needs a few tweaks and bugs and its GM part is not fully completed. But I have a LOT of GS stuff planned. But I'm still coming up with a name that screams "GEORGE!" for the SF. You got anything? Oh, and you should probably add some reverse snare and bass drum sounds to your soundfont, too.

Of course! I didn't expect to find you here!

I've been doing digital art in one form or another since the 90's, on the PC platform that is. I actually started in the 80's on old 8-Bit. All of my Amiga based art is lost though.
