Description
Hello all, Long time no see. Back in the day (approx. 2004- 2014) when I was doing more photo work, I met so many wonderful artists on this site. Duncan Long was one of them. He passed away Dec. 31, 2016 after a sudden illness. I am uploading this image in his honor on his birthday. I wonder how many of you remember Duncan? Let me know by leaving a comment letting me know how you remember him. Thank you.

Superb capture and dedication. I do not know him as an artist here at Renderosity. Sorry to hear of his passing. God bless.
Thank you. He was a great and talented person. I looked up to him and followed his advice. We laughed about Papyrus font as everyone seemed to favor that font one year. :-)
I didn't know Duncan, but knew of him, and I know he was a fine artist, illustrated books, he was a musician, and a writer, and quite fine. I know he had a gallery here which I saw several times. I was always impressed with his work, and also his comments: He didn't know me, but I saw his comments in your gallery and in a few other galleries, and they were always very earnest, insightful and caring. One stopped for his comments, they were so genuine. He had a presence...I'm very sorry for his loss, and thank you for letting us all know. My sympathies to you and all the others who lost him. If anyone wants to know, his gallery is here: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/?uid=61825. "May flights of angels sing him to his rest..."
Thank you, Mark! It was a shock to many. He had warned us he was going "dark" for a while on facebook due to health issues. The time stretched on and I realized he was overdue on his reappearance. :-( I believe his daughter commented on a thread and that was my first clue.
