Deviation Actions
I just completed a piece for the CGSociety's latest contest. The work-in-progress thread may be viewed here: forums.cgsociety.org/showthrea… high-resolution version of the completed image is here: assets.cgsociety.org/challenge….
I'm not sure whether I'd be allowed to post it on this site before the contest judging is over, so for now I'm just posting the link.

MY WORKS ARE NOT IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
I hate to have to post about this again, but I just caught three more instances of a photo of mine being used without my permission. In two cases, the culprit was making money off of my work without giving me a cent. I'll say it again: all works posted here are intended for personal enjoyment only. They are ABSOLUTELY NOT in the public domain, which means that you may not use them for your personal websites or for commercial purposes without my permission. This is deviantART, folks, not Pinterest. We're all artists here, and we all know that time and effort goes into a piece of art. Let's respect one another's intellectual property, eh?
Protein folding animation in HD
I re-rendered at 1080p resolution an old animation that I created back in 2007 for a lecture series given by Jay Ingram. The HD version of the animation, showing an artist's conception of a folding protein, is available on YouTube. Note that this is for educational purposes only; unauthorized commercial use is prohibited.
A petition for the Toronto Transit Commission
For those who live in or near Toronto, the following petition, regarding recent advertisements that have appeared on TTC vehicles and bus shelters that encourage victims of child abuse to pray in lieu of reporting their abuse, may be of interest. Note that the petition urges the removal of these ads because they condone silence in situations of child abuse -- not because of their religious nature. Theists, agnostics, and atheists alike can support this.
Here's the text of the petition:
As described in a recent Toronto Star article, the Toronto Transit Commission has permitted a religious group called "Bus Stop Bible Studies" to run advert
On stolen art and asking permission
None of the images in my gallery is in the public domain. I don't make stock. When I find that images of mine have been used without my permission, I go after the person through every legal means at my disposal. I don't do this to be vindictive; I do this because I firmly believe that artists should be able to make art without having to worry about the leeches of the world thinking, "Hey, that saves me some time and effort. Yoink!" I also like to have some control over how my art is to be used. I don't appreciate the fact that a photo of mine is currently being used to advertise a Chinese health product that I wouldn't endorse in a mill
