About Me

I've been specialising in computer graphics for a little over 10 years, in my free time I make CG art which you can see on this site, and at work I program real-time graphics for computer games. I'm currently writing PS3 engine code for Rebellion in Oxford.

I use 2 names: in the real world I'm Ben Weston, and online I go by the alias of Tekno Frannansa (Tek, for short). The reasons for this are far less interesting than you might think.

About evilsuperbrain.com

This website was founded in 2000, and has been the home of my extracurricular activities ever since. It predominantly houses pictures I've created in a fantastic piece of free software called POVray, which I highly recommend to the technically & artistically minded. Where possible I provide source so users of povray can reproduce my images and see how they're constructed.
