This gallery pays tribute to the 10th anniversary of James Jessiman's passing. Any entry submitted to us will be posted here as soon as possible. If you want to add your own tribute please read this page.

On the 25th July 1997, James Jessiman passed away due to complications from the flu. The LDraw Steering Committee would like to commemorate the 10th anniversary of this sad day with a tribute page to James and his great foundation. We invite you to send in a picture of a:

1 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3002.dat

(a red Brick 2x3 for all those who are not CAD nerds). Your contributions will be collected in a gallery on the site.

If you do not feel comfortable with radiosity or hires-rendering and your images are usually outputs of MLCad this is not a problem - we accept every kind of format, sketches, artwork or even photographs but we obviously prefer “LDraws”. Furthermore we kindly ask you to limit the size to 640x480 pixel. The rest is entirely up to you – no guidelines, no deadline (though it would be nice having your tribute by July 25th). Feel free to add a short text to your entry of LDraw.org's icon. Entries should be sent to the webmasters with the subject “LDraw - 10th anniversary” by using the following address:

The SteerCo member's tributes have already been added to the gallery.

The James Jessiman Memorial Award was established by the Jessiman Family to honor an individual who has contributed to the furthering of LDraw, the DAT format, and James' memory.

This year the LDraw.org Steering Committee is please to announce the award is presented to Orion Pobursky!
