Depth Artist
At age 18 in 1969, Colin was doing psychedelic lights for The Byrds and Pink Floyd and recorded four times with George Harrison playing Tabla's. He then spent six months living with his Guru – A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada at John & Yoko's 89 acre estate 'Tittenhurst' in the countryside outside London.
Colin decided on a career in Publishing and began a printing apprenticeship at 16 towards that goal.
He completed a three-year apprenticeship in printing in 1969 before hanging out with the Beatles. That was almost forty years ago, since that time Colin has won the highest awards in printing for advertising and six and seven color lithography, and his design agency recently created a global dynamic intranet site for ConocoPhillips.
In 1992 Colin was one of seven people chosen to demo in the Kodak booth at SIGGRAPH and in 1998 he won the Best Poster in Texas - a commission from the combined printing industries in Texas; it was the first six-color process piece ever printed in Texas, funded by Imation. In 1999 Colin designed the graphics in 'C3-D' or ChromaDepth for the Chromatek booth at SIGGRAPH. Chromatek is the company that invented the C3-D glasses, which were developed over a fifteen year period by Rick Steenblick, with the last three years at the MIT media lab. Rick Steenblick said of Colin Jury's Depth-Art "No other art has ever worked as well with my invention".
Colin has been pioneering Depth-Art for the last ten years in both static and dynamic visuals ("Depth Charge" is his C3-D psychedelic light show).
"The life and works of Colin Jury have always interested me. His dedication to life and compassionate energy remains above reproach as an artist and a human being. We have shared our hopes and dreams for over 39 years for a better world and peace for all living things... It is now time to share his artistic gifts and his gifted talents."
