IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Welcome to a world filled with imagination.  A fictitional place
	where even roaches have a place to play.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: All the objects in this scene were created using
	constructive solid geometry except the wings on the roaches.  I used s-patch for them.
	
	The real trick in getting this scene to look right was adding everything that is not
	directly seen in the picture.  Sure you see the dominos, the watch, coins and all. 
	But what adds to the warmth of the picture is the rest of the room.  Because the watch
	and the spheres are reflective I needed to create a room for them to reflect.  This
	required creating several pieces of furniture, a fireplace, windows, doors, even the
	light fixture on the ceiling.  The walls are made of boxes with an image map wall paper
	added to each.  Then I added the doors and the windows, arranged the furniture, and
	added lights where they would normally be. (i.e. the fireplace, the windows, etc.)
	The end result brought more realism to the picture.
