I was at a loss for words when I heard the news.
What can I say that hasn’t been said already – perhaps a story:
I was doing a presentation on some new software and screwed up a bit. I frequently use Steve’s ships as desktop backgrounds. I was supposed to have app set for full page display but instead it came up minimized, and thee for all to see was one of Steve’s guardians orbiting above a planet. I quickly brought up the app – but then this older gentleman in the back insisted I collapse it so he could see the image. A number of people asked about the artist and commented on how real it looked. This was not a SciFi crowed by any means but I think Steve gained a few new followers that day.
Steve you will be missed, God bless.
