Joachim Margot's thesis was a computer-generated animation of his own head, with facial animating using his own voice. 

This is who I visited at SGO, in Madrid, Spain, in June, 1997.  I have not heard from him or seen him since.  I saw his picture, though, on a CD of Maya Personal Learning Experience software in 2003.  I have that picture posted on another blog, named http://www.maya-1990topresent.blogspot.com/.

Sketches/drawings completed with the Paint program in Windows, and sent to Willem Davis Van Bakergem, by mail.

Fat girl - completed 4-7-2003

Puddle - completed 3-21-2008
This "finger in the dike' drawing was completed following the hurricanes in New Orleans, including one with nearly the same name as the company www.trina.net - Hurricane Katrina.  I did not sketch this on paper beforehand, and used only the computer program.  I have some thoughts regarding flooding, following the Great Flood of 1993 in St. Louis, and building in flood plains, such as was done in the Chesterfield Valley, and continues today.  Pastor Jeff Perry of St. Louis Family Church was put in charge of this rebuilding effort in Chesterfield Valley, and he has appeared on TV, in commercials advertising his church and himself, since 1991.  His "Receive Jesus" message has appeared on prime time TV, showing him dressed in jeans and dark clothes.   I, first, knew of Jeff Perry when he was lecturing/ministering at DeSmet High School's gym, in Ladue.  He is from California, part of the Four Square Church, and married with many children.  My audio/video work (in computer graphics and animation) in New York, because unknown anywhere outside of New York, was thought "not from the Lord", and considered along with "witchcraft" and "magic", by those in his congregation, and who he knew, and who knew him.   Soon, after initial introductions to him, and those around him, he started his TV commercials, appearing as himself, the Minister.  In December 2000, right after I got married, I received a phone call from a modeling agency, in Ladue, that wanted to know if I was interested in "modeling".  At that time, still in 2000, I did not put together the fact that all of St. Louis and the U.S. had never heard of "computer modeling" or computer animation.  I was unaware of the development of Maya software, which is stated online to have started in the early 1990s, until 2003.  Washington University did not support the teaching of Alias Studio software in 1997, I was told, by them, but, I was never told that Animator and wavefront 3D animation softwares, with (later) Softimage, were being developed into a new software, named "Maya".  And, I was Los Angeles from January-March, 1992.

Green car, created 6-6-2012
Drawings created on my computer, following work at Washington University in 1996.  W. Davis Van Bakergem had an online card company, called www.trina.net, and, his son worked a stand-alone booth of these cards at the St. Louis Galleria shopping mall.  After talking to some guy he had worked with, in the Central West End of St. Louis, I started submitting these drawings to "Dave", as he is known, for work, with a purchase price named in the letters sent with the drawings.  I have never heard back from him.  He was employed, more recently, at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, in the Dept. of History.  I have seen him there, through the UMSL Continuing Education series, and, since I graduated from a reciprocal program with the University of Missouri, I have had Alumni-Friend membership with the University of Missouri-St. Louis.  I have participated in outside activities that are connected to these two schools - the "What is a City" continuing education series topic has been of importance to me, as a city resident, living on the city/county line.  In 1998, the development of Washington Avenue, in downtown St. Louis, opened up Live/Work Studios, and Art St. Louis had an Open Studios event, where I volunteered.  On June 25, 2013, I had my own home office, located in my city house, on the Open Studios event.  These are sketches.  The first drawings I submitted to him were of greater detail, and, I spent more time on them.  In 2005, my own car was stolen while parked in front of my house, and no one has ever been named as the person who stole the car.  I received a phone call, saying that the car was recovered, and I was told the car was parked outside of the parking lot where I was told to come see the car, in January, 2006.  According to a document I was shown, the car was recovered from a Pick 'n Pull recycling lot, and not from the street outside of the city stolen vehicles parking lot.  The police officer, who called me, named 'Shade', was the same officer who threatened me with a club after a neighbor called police, when I was unable to move out of a parking spot on Berthold Avenue, behind my house.  This police officer appeared on the front page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper, and was charged, in a large criminal case, involving many stolen vehicles in the city of St. Louis, that had been 'towed', after January, 2006.

Cover page, final version - after all funding sources were identified and were being contacted.  I never heard back from the St. Louis Chapter American Institute of Architects, nor either Dean - of the School of Art or the School of Architecture.  I received a letter, in the mail, a couple of weeks later, from Washington University Legal Counsel, stating to stay off of campus or I would be arrested for trespassing, since I was never an employee of the University.  I received a phone call, from Washington University police, stating to stay off of the campus, for the same reason.  I had been invited by Willem Davis Van Bakergem, then, the Director of Urban Design and Research.

Maya Video Products, Inc. drawings - "Barco" projectors placed in spaces. All work created is mine.

Maya Video Products, Inc. " large room " created from floor plan of Grand Central Station in New York, in December,1990.
I was given this floor plan when I asked my employer for more information, one day.  This is all that he gave me.  I was never given any books, any previous computer drawings, any names of previous employees.  I was told the name of the company who had sold the computer and software to them, and called them.  The guy who talked to me on the phone sent a .dwg AutoCAD file of a chair, which is shown in the picture.  I found, when using the AutoCAD software in my home office, that this chair is created from an Autodesk program.  I had software in my home office because Dennis Orne, R.A., provided a computer and the software for me, in order to produce some drawings for him, after 1998.  The drawings were printed, in St. Louis, at a company that had a large printer and the AutoCAD software, in  early 1994.  I was unable to find a company that had the software and printer before 1994.  I brought the file back with me from New York, to have my own copy, when I left there, right before Christmas, 1990, after I was told to "go home for Christmas", was shown the door, and accused of stealing an electronic item from the back room, by the same man who I showed all of these drawings to, on their computer.  I showed him the location of the drawing files on their computer, and the program I had written to size the rooms and place the projectors in rooms of various sizes. I never heard from this company again.  I had never been outside of my area at the computer that they showed me to use.  I walked to the door every day for lunch.  In December, 1990,  my poster that I had created in October and November, 1990, for the A/E/C Expo was shown, in the Poster Exhibit, at the conference.  This was a red/green/blue poster, similar in mind to my thesis "Visualizing Order".  This was the only showing of anything thesis-related that I have ever had, since leaving New York, on January 15, 1991.   I colored these drawings, by hand, after 1998.  The colored drawings are posted on another of my blogs.
