PHILLIP DRAWBRIDGE - BIOGRAPHY

My name is Phillip Drawbridge, I'm a Brit living in Fishers, Indiana with my gorgeous wife Gale.

I was born and grew up in Tunbridge Wells in Kent, United Kingdom where I lived until I left the country in 2004.

I studied computers and art at school, but for a career I went the computer route and worked for 2 companies.  One a software house(Cardbox) and then a recruitment company as their IT manager.   I left a few years back so I could spend a few months in America with Gale.  When I returned to England I contracted for a while before deciding that my place was in America.  So we started the immigration processes and in June of 2004 I moved over to America for good.  I'm now a Unconditional Permanent Resident and have a green card good through 2018!!

My main hobby is art.  I learnt traditional art at school and still dabble with pen, pencil and paints.  But Computer Graphics takes most of my time.   I use a variety of software including Bryce, Carrara, Wings3d and Photoshop.

I can be found in various places around the net.  Normally in Renderosity.  But also a few of the other Bryce and CG forums.  See the links page.  

Another hobby is photography.  I keep upgrading my camera, currently on my 6th decent digital camera.  It's a Canon Digital Rebel xt and it is an amazing camera. 

I've worked at  Half Price Books, a second hand book store, for over 4 years now and it's perfect.  Just the kinda thing I wanted to get into. And all the people I work with are nice, which is a bonus.  :-)
So that's keeping me busy and just about paying the bills.  I'm also looking at other opportunities that I can work from home to make some more money.   Art or photography based would be great, but not likely.  So we'll see.

My galleries are split into Photography and Art and use the fantastic Zenphoto.  Please take a look and leave comments or questions on each picture.

Please look around and visit often.  You can even use RSS to get updates when I post images. Use these links for the galleries Photography & Art I use Google News Reader and if you use iGoogle then you can even add the feed to your home page. 

I've started a new blog.   This too has an RSS Feed!  So really you can keep track of pretty much everything without ever entering my website and I have a twitter account and Facebook.  

If you are a Drawbridge I'm trying to make a complete family tree.   There are several trees which I'm having trouble linking together.  You can see my tree HERE and another (called George) HERE. 

Do you Tweet?

If I'm online, chat with me.

Thanks for visiting and hope to see you soon.  Last Updated June 2009
