Welcome to Train Station Studio!
Welcome to Train Station Studio! My name is Chris Ursitti and this is a new site that focuses on my digital art and animation work. At this point, until I build it out, this site will be my Central Station that will link you to places on the web where I have blogs and galleries of my prints and commercial video work. I have been working with computers to create art since 1999. Prior to that, my focus had been on pastel and oil painting with a deep interest in photography. I always had a curious fascination with computers, but I admit it was very difficult, at first, to sit down at one. Well, it's 10 years later and will now say it's been one of the most incredible learning and creative journeys of my life.
Thank you for visiting and please explore the links that are on the various pages of my Train Station Studio site. I do live and work in an old train station. Built in 1902, it was part of a line that ran from Kingston to New York City. It's a special place and has provided me with great inspiration over the years. The studio is located in the rear old baggage room which has nice tall ceilings and open beams. I often think about all the people and luggage that moved through these old rooms over the years...I call it Animation Station!!
I hope you will enjoy your visit,
Chris

KIT CHAOS SPACEWALKER DVD PROJECT!
I'm pleased to announce the completion of my new animation DVD, "KIT CHAOS SPACEWALKER"! It was conceived in December, 2005 in Las Vegas, while meeting for the first time, in real time, my friend, and inventor of the "flame fractal", Scott Draves.
I
started working with IFS animation in 2002 and, soon after, began working with Scott and the Electric Sheep Project, (a global art and animation project that I will write more about later), working first as a designer, and currently as a project administrator. My dream was to eventually present a solo visual album of my most intriguing designs. Around the same time, I became friends with Erik Reckase who also designs and writes the code for Flam3, the powerful command-line rendering engine used for the animations. Erik was responsible for patiently teaching me so much over the years through our IMs, from the learning of command-line rendering to Linux. With these new tools and much encouragement, my project evolved into "KIT CHAOS: SPACEWALKER" .
I'm sending out a big thanks to both of them!
I created Kit Chaos as my web handle in 2004, posting my Electric Sheep designs and my digital compositions at several digital artist sites under that name. Creating a pen name was very liberating for me as an artist and opened me up to a new world of creative possibilites. So, I'm happy to present Kit Chaos' latest adventure, "SPACEWALKER".
