BIOI was born in the 1950's in Tennessee, and have been here ever since. I like the blues, rock and roll, and a little bit of everything else; I also play guitar (badly). I have worked in about every medium there is, but almost stopped all traditional work when I discovered computer art. In 1986 (can't believe it was that long ago), I bought an Amiga 500 (remember them?). I used a paint program called Deluxe Paint and the first 3D program I used was called Silver- upgraded to Turbo Silver (no, really!) and the program eventually became Imagine. I switched over to the IBM PC compatable in 1995, because the capabilities finally eclipsed those of the Amiga. I now use Bryce, Poser and Photoshop Elements. In art, as in music, I like a little of everything, so I usually surf All Galleries. I recommend this to everyone, because if you limit your vision to only Poser gallery, only Bryce, etc., you may find that you are repeating yourself in your art. Shake it up, and render on!

Thanks John.. I am glad you did it too. Mr. Doohan will be sorely missed! He was a real gentleman and just as grateful to his fans as we were to him.

What? I did not heard about he has gone. Oh what a pitty. He was a real good actor and managed all with a special kind of humor as be seen in his rolls. Thank you, John.

Well done and appreciated. He was a man of grace and humor. I met him at a sci-fi con after a panel where we did an impromptu wild accent bit of Star Trek with a bunch of people. He was a funny man who was down to Earth and will be missed by the people who met him. Thank you.

Thank you for this breathtaking tribute to James, it causes me tears. I'm very sad about the loss of such an icon, such a great heartily man - not only as Star Trek Fan since my childhood. May the stars welcome their old friend with open arms.

Like Montgomery Scott's beloved Enterprise... Mr. Doohan is now free to roam the stars at warp speed. Good-bye, smooth sailing and Godspeed, sir.
fluffgirl

One of very few actors who truly appreciated his fans. I met him briefly many years ago, but did not have the chance to speak with him. Convention security was desperatly trying to get him away from me and the 40,000 other people he wanted to hang out and talk with. You've done an outstanding job of capturing him here.
