An image of me

EAGLES!!!

It was a fine year.EAGLES!!!!

Got the NFC East Division Championship I wanted, and went down to the wire with the Rams for the NFC Championship. I am still a proud and happy Eagles fan.

Now, the Road to San Diego! (next year's Super Bowl)

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.


LATEST UPDATE (2/4/02):

Just can't seem to update this page much. I'm back to doing User Interface Design, and am very happy now. Gotta find some time to play my guitar and make some more images.

One of my images is being used at Poetry Parlor. Very cool.

Would you believe I've been a, heaven forbid, MANAGER for over the last year? Sometimes I can't believe it either. But don't worry, I'm going back to techie stuff soon. Polonius said, "To thine own self be true." Amen to that.

In other news, check out Deviant Art. It's an internet artist community that is very cool. You can find my stuff (some of which is also here in Novi Productions) under my handle of noviwan.

Scott, that's me, finally made the leap from New Jersey to South Florida. After the Blizzard of '96 (we got 27 inches in one night), I wonder what took me so long. I'm very happy working since for Citrix Systems here in Ft. Lauderdale.

In NJ, I was a software engineer for CSF Corporation, a small consulting house in Somerset, New Jersey. Then, I was a Senior Systems Analyst for Health Systems Solutions, a Market Arts Company, in Millburn, New Jersey doing software development for the healthcare industry. But I don't think HSS exists anymore.

The image at the top is a computer rendering of a painting my father did in 1964. He didn't title it, but we all call it The Blue Kidney or The Ruptured Kidney. It's abstract, and probably of not much artistic value, but I have it hanging on my wall at home.

I'd like to show you a picture of my wonderful daughter Marlee, born 1/30/96, or my smiley son Zachary, born 11/25/99, but I haven't scanned pictures of them in yet.

I also seriously enjoy computer graphics, and I create static images (and a few short animations) as a hobby (or as a freelance graphic artist). I have used Pixar Typestry, Caligari TrueSpace 2 and 3, and most recently Bryce 3D and Poser 3 from MetaCreations. For samples of my work, check out my Image Gallery.

In fact, there's all kinds of interesting stuff of mine (and a much better page than this sorry excuse for HTML) at Novi Productions.

I am an identical twin, and my brother (
Ian) has his own page where you can get info on him.

Here's a recent picture of the two of us together. The dressing almost alike was a complete, and annoying, accident. :-) And, no, we're not talking to each other!

I'm on the right. Ian is part of Novi Productions, too.
