A brief synopsis...

I came.    I drew.    I computed.    I'm still broke.

More details... in third person too!

Doug Sturk has been drawing as long as he can remember: on walls, floors table tops. As an only child growing up in the Midwest, he learned to use his imagination and be creative. After all, there wasn't much else to do, cow-tipping still hadn't been invented yet, or at least tales of cow-tipping hadn't begun to surface yet.

Encouraged by his mother, a professional graphic artist, he honed his skills and excelled in art. He claims to have preferred markers and regular scissors over crayons and safety scissors in Kindergarten.

Eventually (about twenty years later) Doug put away his easel and paints trading up for his first 3-D graphics application, Bryce 3-D, and he never looked back.

These days Doug continues to create as much as possible: award-winning 3-D artwork, landscape photography, Web design and writing. With his work at the former 3D Comic Collective (now known as www.animotions.com) he became well known for his take on the American comic book style.

Doug's notoriety increased as he became the Web artist of "Shirtless Girl" on the nationally syndicated "Bob & Tom" radio show. Doug was also featured as a content provider for the software application Poser 5 by Curious Labs. This helped achieve a personal goal: Doug's name actually appeared on the software credit screen.
