I guess i should have added this quite some time ago: -3- is not an emoticon, it is the numeral 3 surrounded by hyphens. This is how i sign my work (though with a little tail on the 3). The hyphens are silent, it's pronounced Three. I use them both to bracket the 3 in my signature, and because they can be combined with with the stylized 3 to form my birth initials.
Okay - back to the standard little bio bit...

-3- is an eclectic creator - during the past  three  four decades working with various digital & traditional print media, 2D & 3D animation, video editing and the written word. These days he is a retired cave-dwelling hermit living in the Pacific NorthWest with the other members of the Bootus Galooticus family.

Oops. I just saw how often this profile shows up in other places. More than needing a spoiler tag, it was frelling rude to have that big collection of images here.
