The results of our research and sustained use of computer media have been published worldwide. Since 1987 we have written articles aimed at supporting computer users from beginning to advanced. This ongoing research enables us to keep abreast of the latest developments in computer graphic media. It has also enabled us to expand our services to include software development support. We are always on the look-out for new technologies that will enable artists and animators and that may qualify for an article or tutorial.
