c04He  already  decided.   Nothing  could
stop  him  or change his mind.  Though
he   never   dominated  the  Scene  in
quantity,  his  quality brought him to
the top.

c03      Danny; 1991 - 1997  R.I.P.

c04Nothing  lasts  forever,  yet some VIS
will   speak  to  the  imagination  of
Scener's  minds  for a long time after
they  are  gone.   The  new Scene year
1998  was  only  a few days young when
allstar  graphician  Danny  decided to
quit  the  Amiga and PC Scene and give
himself entirely to his employer.

c03In the end EIDOS got him entirely.

c04f4 'I  am  only  painting forc03 EIDOSc04 now,
and  enriching  my  port-folio'f1c03  Danny
c04comments.  On the question if we could
expect  a  comeback  in  the future in
e.g.   a  new c03 TBL c04 demo we also got a
negative response.
c02Danny:c04f4   'Infact I am not in any group
anymore' f1c03 Sad  but  true.   The  truth
always  hurts.   Yet c02 Dannyc03 has a long
and  succesfull  Scene carreer to look
back  at, which also was a nice school
for his current occupation.

c01    Group and Picture Chronology.

c04Mirage (More or less), Anarchy, Lemon,
Spaceballs,  Nah-kolorc03 andc04 TBL c03had the
priveledge  to  make  use  of c02 Danny's
c04qualities  in  productions  and to put
his  name  in  their memberlist.  'And
now  c04EIDOS' c02 Danny c03 ironicly comments.
Having spend almost his entire life in
Holland,  he currently lives in the UK
where  he  had  his  share in the Tomb
Raider II PC game at the Software firm
he  is  working  for.   Yet Danny will
every  now  and  than  hit  the #pixel
channel at the IRC for the time being.

c04As  I  am Dutch myself, I got aquented
with   Danny  at  some  stage  aswell.
Meeting  him vaguely at The Prime 1992
party,   where   also   his  slideshow
'Forgotten'  got  released,  I  got to
know  him better at The Legend Holland
is OK party in January 1993 and at The
Party  1993.  Where I even painted one
pixel   to   his   6th  place  winning
picture.   But  asking  about  his two
favorite  moments in his scene carreer
Danny spontanously answered:
c03f4 'Winning  at  The  Party 1995 with my
'Space  Tits'  picture and winning The
Gathering  1997  with  my  cooperation
picture  together  with  Louie, called
Angelic Particles.'f1

c02Other  work  from  Danny  besides  the
above  mentioned  pieces  is his title
picture for Propaganda issue 4 and his
various  title  pictures for the Dutch
magazine  Chit Chat and his lovely AGA
lay-out for the last two issues 14 and
15  for which I was main editor.  Also
his work in TBL's demo Tint should not
be   forgotten   neither   should  his
handdrawn  picture  of  a woman with a
belly  like  an  orange.  For which he
got a very high grade when Danny still
was   studying   art.   This  specific
picture  was later scanned and spread.
Last but not least Danny's work in the
musicdisk  'Moments' is worth to check
out.


c04Another    One    Bites    The   Dust.
            Unfortunately.

c03Writing  a  goodbye  article  about an
ex-group   mate,  someone  I  had  the
pleasure  of knowing and even swapping
with  in  the past isn't an easy task.
More  questions  obviously  came to my
mind  like  we  see  all the time in a
goodbye   article,  yet  this  time  I
wanted   to   give   it   a  different
approach.  I think I succeeded.  Yet I
sincerely  hope  this  will be my last
goodbye  article  for a long time!  Or
perhaps  the  time  has come for me to
say goodbye aswell?
c04f4 'Naaaaaaaaaah...    Don't  think  so!
Yet  that  is'f1 Anyway this one was for
you  Danny  boy.  Speak (or as sceners
would  say  it)  chat  to  you soon at
#pixel  on  the  Internet  Relay  Chat
(IRC) !
