SLIDES AND VIDEOS:

Four technical graphics slides have appeared in the ACM SIGGRAPH Conference refereed Technical Slide Set.
Several of my graphics images have appeared in other textbooks (at least 39 images), covers of conference proceedings (at least two covers) and on the front and back cover of the premier Russian journal on computer graphics. My images have appeared in several other journal articles by other authors.
Several videos have been produced exhibiting my research (some videotaped by me, some by external sources). Some portions have appeared on TV on at least three occasions.
