Today Steve Jobs passed away after a eight year battle with cancer. He will go down as one of the greatest visionary inventors of all time with his ushering in of such revolutionary technology the past few years. Feel free to share your thoughts in my comment section on my portrait, now In Memoriam and how Jobs work and technology has changed our lives.

Today, technology titan Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO of Apple after revolutionizing wireless communications with the company that Fortune Magazine called Most Admired Company in the World the past three consecutive years. Illustriously painting the past 30 years of cyber revolution with his ideas, Jobs has left his mark on everything from modern animation with Pixar to raising the bar on every wireless device known to man. Jobs stated in his resignation to Apple released today, "I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s C.E.O., I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come." This modern mogul is a cancer and organ transplant survivor who's name will surely be engraved in scientific and technological history.
I composed this sweet dose of pop surrealism earlier in the year for an exhibit I curated at MIR Gallery in Nashville, called VERSUS, where participating artists chose their combatants and gave us a match and battle of their imaginations!
