Spring 2008: Common GroundJeff Matheson Prior to 1995, I was entirely an artist who worked in traditional media – pencil, ink, or paint. But, due to the massive inroads personal computing was making in the early 90’s, things were due to change (and in a BIG way).

It was a complete paradigm shift. In early 95, I was hired by a company creating one of the very first browsers for some new thing called the Internet (which I had never seen before). Gulliver software bought me an expensive, top-of-the-line computer and some very expensive graphics software, and I jumped into the deep end, learning as I went. The first 3D software I used was a program called Truespace, a program that had originally gained popularity on the Amiga platform. For Gulliver, I made a number of 3D graphics and software screens.
