Not even close to being big enough for the Dead Celebrity thread, but around here some of you might care. Here's the link from Newsarama:

I wasn't in love with his art like a large amount of people in the comic industry were, but I really liked him as a person. The few times I met him he couldn't have been more pleasant to speak with, and he always had time to shoot the shit if you saw him walking around. We were supposed to have him at our shop for a signing numerous times, but his illness at certain times prevent plane flights, and traveling etc.

He was one of the good ones.

I hated the way he drew, but it's always a shame when people die that young.

I don't want to preface this with any negative criticism of his influence, so I'll just echo the sentiment that this is sad no matter what.

Mostly I thought his art sucked, but cancer sucks far more. It really needs to stop taking so many young people. It's hard to believe Ringo and Turner are both gone.

Damn you cancer, couldnt you have taken Rob Liefeld instead.
No forget about cancer, that guy deserves the ebola virus.

Actually, I think the whole point of the dead celebrity thread was to keep the boards from being choked by news of minor celebrities dying. Giving someone who "isn't big enough" their own thread is counter-intuitive.

Outside of the comic industry he's no kind of celebrity, so updating the Dead Celebrity thread in the main forum and having 99.9% of the people who look at that go "Huh?" seemed a bit counter-intuitive.

Well, it's full of sports names that left me completely in the dark, so I don't think it would have been too out of place.

Also, just to use the latest example...

So yeah, they don't have to be monsters of the industry.

Whatever, though. It's not like it's a big deal to me. I just wanted to point that out for future reference.

Eh, I think it belongs here.

He's a comic book artist and it's the comic book section. I wouldn't have found out about it otherwise unless I surfed some other comic site.

Whoops, I missed this thread so I ended up posting it in the Dead Celebrity thread. I thought people didn't want multiple threads on this all over the place ...

Yeah, I think this was posted in the right place. If someone from the Comic Book community dies this is the first place I'd look. I don't think it'll clutter up the board at all or even enough to make any impact.

How many more posts can we dedicate to an argument on whether the death of a comic book artist should be discussed in the Comic Book Forum?

Should we ask Mr. Owl?

Were his feet visible at the viewing?

But seriously, drawing hands and feet sucks. That, and I used to dig his art for a bit. It certainly holds up better than some of the shit of that era(Liefeld, etc), and he was young, which is always a shame.
