Gary David Bouton is a long-term fan of CorelXARA who has now upgraded to Xara X. He's a traditional illustrator who discovered the computer over ten years ago... and promptly threw away his pencils.

Primarily a teacher/educator through his work, Gary is also a designer and holds four international awards for graphics and desktop publishing. Gary is proficient with most of the major graphics applications, and has written papers or books on XARA, trueSpace, Extreme 3D, PIXAR RenderMan, and more generalized, non application-specific modelling and rendering principals in the past.

Alan Burns is a professional designer from the UK who has been using Xara software since the 1980s. Owners of previous versions might recognise the incredibly meticulous style - Alan is the creator of the well-known microscope image, among others.

William Clegg is a professional designer based in Puerto Rico who is a long-time user of CorelXARA and now Xara X. We'll be adding more of his work to the gallery soon.

Dušan is a professional designer, cartoonist and occasional games developer, based in Slovenia. For more of Dusan's work, see www.bugbrain.com.

Vladimir works for a TV company in Russia and uses Xara software in his free time. He came to our attention when he sent us these incredibly realistic images - the "painted" effect is so realistic that at first we didn't believe it was possible in a vector package - even Xara!.

Simone is a self-taught, professional designer based in Italy who has produced some stunning work in CorelXARA, including a couple of Corel World Design Contest winners. Now happily converted to Xara X, Simone continues to inspire us with his artwork, much of utilises his technical and scientific background.
