Deviant Friday - In Memoriam

Okay, not technically a Deviant Friday, because this has nothing to do with DeviantArt. Instead, I thought I'd honor some of the artists who passed away in 2011. If I missed anyone on this list, let me know in the comments and I'll add them to the shrine. R.I.P to them all, best wishes for those they left behind who are missing them terribly, and a hearty thank you for all the wonders they introduced to the rest of us through their art.

Dave Hoover


Jerry Robinson


Minck Oosterveer


Shingo Araki


Gene Colan


Joe Simon


Eduardo Barreto


Mamoru Uchiyama


Darrel K. Sweet


Jim Roslof


Jeffrey Catherine Jones


On a personal note, I'd like to honor my uncle, George Stater, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this year. I love him dearly, and everyone who knew him will miss him keenly in the years to come.

    The passing of an artist weakens us as a species, just as the birth of one strengthens us.
