My apologies to anyone who expected to find a raytraced Humphrey Bogart! :)
I just thought this title would be  more  interesting than "Eye", the title
it was originally published as.

This picture actually has a little history  behind it. I originally created
the object a couple of years back,  and  an early picture (done in scanline
mode, i.e. no reflections or shadows) of it appeared in the slideshow "Hell
in Heaven" (see demo/slide/crm-hih).
Last year the Norwegian TV channel  NRK2  started  an experimental Internet
program called Spider. (If you  know  Norwegian,  check  out  their site at
www.nrk.no/spider) As part of the experiment (which came to a end - for now
at least - this last  April)  they  asked  viewers  to  send  in (or rather
upload) pictures and music some of which would then be used in the program.
After the second season had started, I  decided to give it a try and made a
new version of my eye picture in "Spider  format" (720 x 576, JPEG format),
this time in trace mode (which took about 17½ hours to finish). A couple of
days after uploading it,  the  picture  appeared  on TV, but only for a few
seconds and under someone else's name!
Well, after my Amy has been working  for  that  long I thoght I'd give it a
bit more exposure than three seconds under  a wrong name, so... here it is.

If you have nothing  better  to  do,  feel  free  to  visit  my  website at

look at pix/misc/cheshire.lha here on Aminet.

Oh, and if you would rather have an  IFF  version  (24 bit) of the picture,
dropping me a note should take  less  time  than  doing  the (re)conversion
yourself.
