It was on December 1969 that I Dany Boucher was born in Quebec, Canada. Well, as long as I can remember, I spent the majority of my free time pursuing my passion, that of science-fiction drawing. Today, I still pursue my dreams; however I also have a job. That of an aircraft mechanic. During the years of 1989-1992, I was a marine engineering mechanic for the Canadian navy. It was during this time that I had the opportunity to explore other interests, pertaining to scuba diving, amateur photography and building scale model cars. For 13 years I have studied Tae Kwon Do and achieved the rank second degree black belt. As one may conclude, science-fiction is not my only passion. At five years of age I was drawing cars and planes. At twelve years of age I was drawing a bit of fantasy, a lot of science-fiction and the realistic like ships, planes and tanks. My inspiration comes from just about anything from Star Trek to the clouds in the sky. I have never had any formal art education so I had to depend upon magazines, books and posters for inspiration. In 1999, for the first time, I started using 3D rendering softwares to create my scenes. And since then I have a really hard time to go back to my pencil! I consider myself as a realistic dreamer. Enjoy the journey into my universe!!

Nice view of the U.S. M1 90mm Anti-aircraft Gun. My Dad worked with these and said that they were also used as standard artillery in Normandy.

I always have the willies when around friendly AAA with the blue on blue errors and all. WW-II is something always out of reach to me. My uncles and father only recently have related their experiences. Also the experience of England and the Low Countires and France in 1939/40 is just outside even their experience. In Viet Nam the rule was for aircraft not to duel with guns on the ground, though Iron Hand was targetted on anything with a radar pointed skyward. Napoleonic marching with brass buttons across open fields toward artillery manifested itself in bombers that flew on straight up high disregarding puffs of "flak." This image recalls the one with Jane Fonda in Hanoi. Flyers are in the minoity and could not win a vote on popularity of air defense. The burgers of towns lionize the hardy gunners.
