One of the places I used to frequent most on the Hash website, besides the gallery sections
was the "A:M Users" area. They did a great job making it feel like a community of 3D artists.
In 1999, I connected with Paul Sterling through A:M Users after seeing he was based in Oakville
where I was living at the time. We chatted via email and when we decided to meet for coffee
realized we lived literally five minutes away each other!
We were both graduates of the Illustration program at Sheridan College and like many college grads
continued to live in the city.
Paul was working on pitching an animated series based on a script his friend had written and asked if
I was interested in helping out. It was called "Guardian Force" unfortunately it never got off the ground
partly because Paul started a web design company with his roommate, where I ended up working for
the next few years.
With the help of the Wayback Machine, I was able to look back to when Paul and I had our websites linked to the A:M Users pages.
