He said: "I guess it's too many disaster movies. That and the fact that I'm fascinated by things we, as human beings, have little or no control over. Disasters happen every day, all around the world. We just hear about the more fantastical ones the media focuses on.

"Every day someone, somewhere, is involved in a life-altering disaster. It doesn't have to be a 300-foot wave crashing into a skyscraper."

He said: "The reaction is great. I get lots of complimentary emails, and I really appreciate those.

"My work reflects human error in some cases, and just the bad luck and sheer terror of the human experience in others. Some people like it. Some not so much."
