Here are links to people I respect and like that I know or have encountered on the Internet (mostly through Usenet, in groups such as rec.arts.sf.science or sci.astro).
This is another guy I bump into on rec.arts.sf.science (you'd think that's the only place I post). Among other things, Winchell had the opportunity to do some illustrations for the popular paper wargame, Ogre, a game which I played a lot as a kid.
Yep, it's my brother. As you can probably tell, he likes anime (I used to when I was younger, but got tired of it). Of special interest is his Dark Tower page, a fanpage for an old Milton-Bradley game that we enjoyed a great deal as kids.
And my sister. I have no idea where the name "Wee Kelpie" came from. And as you can probably tell by now, my brother and sister got all the illustration skill in the family -- though maybe she could stand to cut down on the Star Trek stuff. :-)
I bump into Mr. Landis all the time on newsgroups such as rec.arts.sf.science. He's works fulltime at the NASA Lewis Research Center, but moonlights as a science fiction author. I like him even after he corrects my mistakes on the newsgroup.
