For Christopher, exhibiting anything at all is his hurdle, just getting the confidence to release his work into the world,

knowing that it wont be 'stolen' from him is a very big step.

Exhibitions:

" Return to the White Palace."

Statement :


The science fiction story that I would like to make into a movie I am doing on my computer is called Orbatron, in which I will include a variety of ideas, like suburban houses, streets with cars on them, lakes and river, advertisement signs, farmland fields of crops and livestock, and deserted underwater towns behind a dam. There will be the insides of shopping malls, railway tracks with luxury cargo trains on them, ships and boats on the harbour, helicopters and aeroplanes, hotels, major highways of fast traffic, car parks, and anything else that normal science fiction just wouldn't show. That should make a lot of other science fiction writers feel very jealous of me, their movies seeming like little more than just spaceships, planets, robots and aliens.

I am particularly interested in imaginatively making up fictitious addresses and phone numbers for business and private locations in my movie, even fictitious advertisement signs, character names that sound convincing, and realistic number plates. Such an example is this:
(432) 77552388 Seems quite genuine, doesn't it?

In making my 2D computer-graphic designs, I generally start off with zooming into the pixellation grid, to change individual pixels. I also use splash brush to fill up things quickly, scrub brush to erase or change colours with my designs, including edit paste to copy and duplicate my designs. With the tools in mouse paint, I can create ideas much more spontaneously than I ever thought possible.

I plan to take my Orbatron story to the Disney Studios, animate six movies, become a music performer, build a shopping-town of 249 houses in South Australia, return to the Disney Studios with my dragon World story, animate six more movies, do a last grand tour of music, and retire for life, satisfied for leaving my mark on the world.
