Yes, it's true. On the internet, I'm a rather dull, mild-mannered digital artist, but in real life, I am actually Superfrog.
"Faster than a speeding dragonfly, stronger than a flathead catfish. Able to leap ten hungry alligators in a single bound. Look! Out in the swamp! It's a bird. It's a boat. It's Superfrog!"

For me, ideas are like butterflies that are flittering around by the dozens. Just grab one and render it, then move on to the next.
BIO:
I began 3D art with Bryce 3 in April 1999. Before that I played with various 2D styles and techniques. Back in the mid-70's and 80's, I worked in metal sculpture and had a line of "frog prints" selling in stores all over Southern California and Arizona. I have been in art in some capacity since childhood. Since the computer came along, I 've pr3etty much lost touch with brushes, pens and pencils which I regret.

It's really terrible! I appreciated that artist...I'm sad! Hope we will see him again ...one day...in the sky. Wonderful image.

Oh, no... I really liked Don's work ever since the first day I found Renderosity. I was always amazed at how he could come up with something new every day. Back then, it was maybe three a day! It would make a nice retrospective book, heck I'd buy one... keep up that spirit, in your own frogdot style of course!

Before the Poser forum, before Renderosity, Don had this wonerfull twisted dite, with hundreds of images of Creepy! I downloaded the model, made a few of my own posted one to him, which he added to his voluminous gallery, I felt I was part of something really unique, and very cool. He made me laugh on many occasions. It is truly sad to here he has passed on. He will be sorely missed.
