- About Me:
- Mike Butler attended the Ontario College of Art for 4 years, graduating in 1980 as an Associate of the Ontario College of Art (AOCA) in Fine Arts. For several years he worked in watercolours and ink developing an expressionistic style.
Shortly after graduating, he purchased a Color Computer from Radio Shack. Teaching himself to program in Color Basic, he began creating his first Digital Art and began experimenting with animated Mondrian style graphics.
He became fascinated by the endless stream of digital imagery that was possible and the fascinating and surreal, abstract patterns that the computer allowed, simply by tweaking a few parameters and formulas. He was hooked.
In 1991 he created and maintained the Virtual Palette -- an electronic bulletin board system for artists that predated the Web. More recently, he created Durham Artists Social Network to help promote the arts in Durham Region.
His art work can be viewed at www.mikyo.com. He can be contacted at mike@mikyo.com

Don Hightower said… - Hi Mike. You were right. The problem with the pictures was with Firefox. I have no problem when using Explorer.

- Hi MIke. As far as creating separate galleries it is not apparent to me on how to accomplish this task. As far as Allan's photo group I couldn't see any means to add my photos there. Are you suggesting I start a new group? Bob

- Hi Mike.
I frequently post photos on DASONET but I am concerned I am infringing on the photos of member's art ( including my own ). I have not been successful in posting in the Photo sub-group. Do you have any objection or thoughts/thoughts on segragating photos from art photo images on this site?
Bob
