IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The name 'consequences' explains what the image represents.  The throw-away
lifestyle that so many people have in privileged societies bears some ultimate
consequences.  Eventually this mindset of "use once and discard" will overwhelm
our natural resources.  The imagery shows suburbia beginning to feel the
pressure from the immense amount of waste it creates.  We should always be
thinking of the consequences that come from such a lifestyle.
"It's never really what you own, but what you threw away, and how much did you
pay." -- Greg Graffin


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I built the entire image in Truespace 4.3.  Almost all of the textures I created
in Adobe Illustrator, which I used because I like the smooth quality it lends
the image.  The dirtier textures are digital photos of mine.  I went through
several different versions of this image.  Initially I built the image in
Wings3D and textured/rendered it in POVray, but I did not like the outcome.  I
had recently purchased Truespace for an awesome sale price and built a much
better image in that program.  Critique welcome.
