I had a dream the other night about a guild I was in called the Realm Walkers the other night, so I did some digging to try and find Barry and Colin and it seems they have both passed, may they rest in peace and let their art live on indefinitely. Any former Realm Walkers feel free to email me and catch up, "[email protected]"

I worked with Barry at Warp Graphics. He was a solid talent who knew how to bring out the best in people. Always quick with a joke, Barry never let any of us take ourselves too seriously. I’ll always recall his good humor, good nature and his dedication to his craft. Barry was one of a kind and we are all better for having known him!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and Colin in this hour of grief. We came to know Barry and Colin through World of Warcraft and his art work. Barry and Colin have created two pieces for us including one of my 2 year old granddaughter. They are both wonderful, colorful works of art. We will cherish them both as we will our friendship and memories of Barry. God bless you all. aka Veneus & Aeturnal

I knew Barry and know Colin for more than 10 years.

I learned about this great loss monday morning and i'm truly saddened.

I would like to express my deepest feelings of sympathy towards his family, friends and fans and especially towards Colin, his partner.

I still have a good feeling when i think back i was able to make a dream of Barry come true. As intermediate i was able to contact a Swiss publisher who published 2 stories which were especially created for the European market.

A warm, bright and sensitive person has gone, but i allways will remember him and cherish his great artwork!

GOODBYE MY FRIEND!!!

dear gramma marjorie & family
it was amazing to cruz the net and get to see so many places and ways that Barry's art touched the world. Such a very talented man - he and his partner produced some really incredible images. I remember so well the first black & white editions of elflord...(and then when it went to colour!) i am so sorry to hear of his passing - a great loss in so many ways. Please take care and know that my thoughts are with you.
