I was born and raised in the "South Bay" before it became "Silicon Valley". I went to Cal State Hayward and graduated with a B.A. in Art. I went back to school at the local JC and got my degree in technical illustration. For the next 25 years I worked as an illustrator and graphic artist at a hand-full of high tech companies. As of December 2012 I officially retired from the "Rat Race". I now have time for my art. Even though I have been a member of the Renderosity community for about 3 years, it has been a silent partnership on my part. I have been enjoying everone else's "Labors of Love" without giving anything in return. That will change.

I still have a hard time grasping that he's flying somewhere above us in his ultimate flying machine. And now, for a little rest. Nice tribute, Greywolf44. Keep up the good work. :-)

A great tribute Dave. I too was saddened and knocked back on learning of Neil's passing. a sad day. Like others I have benefited from Neil's generosity, and to take a cue from Rob's latest post, the world has lost a star.

A wonderful tribute to a dear friend. I was also shocked and saddened by Neil's passing. We had many conversations and laughs over the years and he would always be there to help with anything in any way he could. We have not just lost a fine modeller but a fine man too. The plant may be closed but we'll keep on rendering.

Immaculate texturing and lighting as usual. Yes, I was drawn to this render mainly because it's very different from your other ones in one special respect. :P
Sorry to learn that you lost a friend. My condolences. I'm sure he'll be happy that you still remember him!
