He and I chatted every so often. A super talented guy. Not too many in the industry who could hold their own next to him. He will be missed. But his work will inspire for all time.

Yeah, this was tough to hear about. Was glad for the opportunity to commission him for a couple of covers at AWA, and he was excited for the chance to do something on a potential future project for us as well. A quite humble and extremely talented man…

Yeah, he was so consistently good for so long but also always felt underrated to me. I was always happy to see his stuff appear anywhere, covers, interiors, anywhere.

Hope all's well with you and the team over there, man.

All good here! Glad to see you're doing well. Recently picked up the calendar book. Great stuff!

Yeah, agreed on the underrated aspect. When he told me his cover rate after reaching out to him, I was astonished at how low it was, and he was so grateful that I offered him almost double. It would have been a shame not to. Sad I never got the pleasure of meeting him in person, but we had great email and social messaging conversations, and I'll always treasure that and regret not getting the chance to collaborate again.
