saw the gallery of someone here featured in a CGarts printed magazine and followed the link on the page the next day. That was October 2000-ish.

I then  surfed the site for about a year before getting hold of a copy of lunarcell filter plugin from flamingpear.com and gave it a whirl in photoshop. Came up with a picture which I called 'romulus and remus' and posted it here. Haven't look back since...!! - and that picture is STILL on my gallery on page 1!!! Actually everything bar one picture  that I've ever done is still here on my rendo gallery (had to delete one at the penciller's request) so you can pretty much see my entire progression as a comic book colourist from barely knowing what the frack I was doing to the stuff that I do today (some would say not much has changed.... :+P ... )

Highlights for me in the past 7 years at Rendo are: Hitting 1000 views for a picture for the first time, getting all of the top 12 'most commented of all time' images for the DC gallery at one point, getting included on the Best of Renderosity DVD in 2003 (still have my copy and watch from time to time)  and AOM for October 2004.
