We all love drinking.
We all love taking trips to see new and exotic cities.
It’s only natural that we should combine the two.

We are the proponents of an all-new way to enjoy one’s surroundings – Drunken Tourism.

Image Savant is a fine art studio located in Hollywood, California, owned and operated by me, Richard “dr.” Baily. My primary focus is digital fx animation, but occasionally I compose music, paint, and write.

SPORE is an ongoing software/aesthetic development project that has grown out of a proprietary ultra-high speed particle renderer which runs on Irix, Linux, and OSX. All the images on page 1 and 2 are stills from animations, and some of these stills are constructed with over 1 billion particles.

I put a few of these on my desktop.

Brothers Fred S. and August Duesenberg (1876-1932 and 1879-1955, respectively), were German-born mechanical masterminds raised in Rockford, Iowa, in a large immigrant family. They taught themselves the principles of transportation engineering and designed and built their first car, the Marvel, in Des Moines in about 1904. The brothers then went to Indianapolis, where the Dusenburg Automobile and Motors Company was established in 1920. The custom-built Dusenburg was considered the finest car in the world. It was also the most expensive luxury automobile in the world, sold only to the very affluent.
