Welcome to Digital Waterfalls
This is the new home for Digital Waterfalls!!! The site has been moved from its old location on Demon Internet where it has been located for the past 10 years and a number of updates will be added to the site over the coming months. Latest updates include the opening of a new gallery 'Hubbles New Worlds' (see the link to the latest images). Links have now been added where you can source and purchase some of the TTA, Galactic Encounters and related books directly through this website. Digital art prints are being updated and made available through Zazzle.com.

This is a digital art gallery that contains images and scenes created with the freeware raytracer POV-Ray and DAZ Bryce. The main subjects cover Sci-Fi images that are based around the 'Terran Trade Authority Handbooks' background created by Stewart Cowley in the late seventies. There are also some surreal/fractal images, content downloads, wallpapers and book source information. Each of the gallery areas are accessable by subject at the top of the page. Having sourced all of the 'Galactic Encounters' books by Steven Caldwell, I've added some background information on the books in order to help other fans of the series. So put on your favourite ambient music, have fun, enjoy the trip and come back soon - more scenes are added all the time!

The books, 'Terran Trade Authority Handbooks' depict a fictional future based around images and paintings created by a number of artists, written by Stewart Cowley more than twenty years ago. The style and background of these series of books has forever inspired me and also provides a convenient background 'universe' for me to add and develop science-fiction scenes. A number of other websites and commercial products (including the Sierra game 'Homeworld') used the TTA books for ideas and helped to give it's particular 'feel'. This new site will provide resources for people searching for copies of the book and prints to purchase of the artwork I've developed. Morrigan Press have released a new version of the TTA books and are updating and developing the 'universe' further. Eventually I hope to obtain a copy of the latest releases and review them here on DW.

If you are looking for more information on the TTA, Galactic Encounters, or other related books by artists who contributed artwork to the series, why not take a look in the Terran Trade Authority Handbooks section here on Digital Waterfalls.

You will also find surrealist, fractals, and sub-organic images created with a variety of packages in the 'Surreal' area of this site, experimented with to create bizzare scenes and images. I've been commissioned over the years to produce artwork for CD covers by musicians (some of which you'll find in the gallery), if you have any requirements for CD covers or posters, please don't hesitate to contact me. Digital art prints will be available for a growing number of images, via Zazzle and a number of other online printing services - help keep the site running by purchasing a print or two!

Feedback and comments are always appreciated, email me at the email address below. Bye! Steve----->

Latest Gallery News
Happy New Year to all our visitors! Its been quiet here at DW for the past few months due to real-life pressures, however there are a number of things planned for 2008 so watch this space! Other news includes the re-launch of our associate site '2surreal.com' after an absence of three years! Dave has put in a lot of hard work to bring back 2Surreal including the old galleries, so its really good to see the site back. A number of additions are planned for the site so keep an eye on future developments! A big 'THANK YOU' to all the visitors who have bought goods from Amazon via links in DW, which help support the site! Cheers!

TTA News Mini-blog:
Something I spotted whilst browsing through the news on space.com; an interesting article about the possibility of a planet circling Alpha Centauri B which could lie in the 'habitable zone'. This of course to TTA fans, resembles the Alpha Centauri system in the books. Take a look at:- http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/080307-another-earth.html.

I've also read through all the new TTA books and will be posting a review of them all soon.
