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.
