Description: These are animations created with Zbrush using zbrush scripts that I wrote. I also composed the music. Zbrush is a hybrid between a 2D paint program and a 3D modeler. It is capable of doing amazing things and on top of that is alot of fun. I hope you enjoy my humble attempt at animation.

On Mar 3rd 1990 my girlfriend and I left Los Angeles on my 31 ft Mariner Ketch and headed off into the unknown. After 5 yrs of saving and planning we were actually underway and there was no turning back. At that moment contemplating the voyage before us, transiting the Panama Canal, which had sounded good when it was far in the future, hit me. I had no idea what was in store for us, thousands of miles of open ocean and unknown lands to traverse. Each moment Palantir's bow cut closer and closer into places I had never known, it was scary, what was going to happen to us.
The saga of building a 62 ft Schooner called the Aphrodite- sailing thru the Yucatan Straits to Belize and Roatan, Honduras.
Voyage of the Aphrodite
The Beginning of the Dream
In whatever part of the human Psyche dreams are born and grow to maturity, my Father and I shared a common dream. We dreamt along with thousands of others, who are a minority among those who dream but never even take a first step toward the vision they have in their minds.
Horror stories eh?
Which one to tell, I got me about a million of them :>
