grieving ....

grieving....
this has been a though couple of weeks for me....
but first i'd like to say something about Mike Wieringo. He was a very talented artist that worked on many comics throughout the years, such as flash, Fantastic Four, Spider man and so on. He had a creator owned property called Telos which i loved. He has been one of my biggest influences ever since i saw his art on spider man years ago. i found his myspace a while back which had a link to his blog. i checked it every weekday and grew to not only like his art but the person he was. i thought many times i should email him and tell him how much he's influenced me and still does to this day.... Mike passed away yesterday at the age of 44 from a massive heart attack. he was a healthy man, a vegetarian no less. He had just been so excited about possibly starting a new Telos story...

Mike you will be missed, and know that you truly made the art of comics a wonderful thing. You inspired many of my drawing on many occasions. i wish i had known you better. thank you....

my other gripes with life seem a bit trivial now... my car is dead... but its not all bad. i'm getting a new one. looks like a toyota matrix should be fun.

its thought for me to talk about the next... just know that i'm going to be a bit sad for a bit... i can't talk to the most special person in my life... for a while... and she wont be in it the same way... hopefully someday we'll find each other again... what we had was truly amazing... i wish that the timing had been better...

i will always be there for you
