Animated Gifs is a where I started my business on the internet. In 1996 I had a good paying job as an IT Dept manager. Servicing a large oil & gas company and their affiliates in Oklahoma and New Mexico. After a couple months in the position things were running smoothly and I started designing things on the side. And this interest took hold and was starting to make more than my day job. Plus it filled my artistic need and kept my creative juices flowing.

Then tragedy struck with the loss of my favorite nephew, and I found myself too depressed to create. So I took a break from graphics and animation. But technology was still moving. It became easier for people to create their own logos. Not in 3D or having metallic surfaces, nonetheless fad/niche had faded. Not defeated I was still planning and learning other computer related fields.

The red/gold U J (University of Judiasm) logo attracted the attention of Oestereich Rundfunk Sendung. (Austrian Radio/TV Station) and was awarded for innovation in Graphic Arts 1997. Though I was unable to travel to accept the award at that time.

note: these items were designed from 1997-2000 and the 386 and 486 processors were not as fast as today's machines. So the will appear to loop faster. The higher the processor in the machine, the faster the animation will appear.
