It was a dark day in Canadian history back in '76 when Neil Blevins was born. Discovering early his love for art, he has attended numerous art classes and programs in the Montreal area, as well as several years of pure and applied science and computer programming. Graduating last year from Concordia University with a B.F.A. in design art, he now works full-time at Blur Studios in Venice, California, making special effects for film, video games, and broadcast media. His involvement with 3D Studio started back in the DOS days, when he was obsessed with making more complex and realistic images for video games. He's known in the 3D Studio community for many things, among them his involvement in the Kinetix Web board as a forum assistant, frequently answering questions and giving tips. He's also known for his distinct art style: dark, somber, and slightly disturbing images of alien and robotic life forms living in fantastic worlds, somewhere between Giger and the Top Cow comic books that he collects and loves. As quoted several years back, 'All my life all I've ever really wanted to do was make cool monsters and get paid for it. And this is exactly what I'm doing.'
