My goodness. It's been a rough year for lovers of Art. Mike Wieringo, Dave Stevens and now Michael Turner. Good grief

. My condolences go out to his family, friends and fans. This is very close to me because he's the only "superstar artist" I actually met in real life. He signed copies of Witchblade that I brought with me and an Aspen Sketchbook he was promoting at the time. Wow... and now he's gone.

Rest in Peace, Mike. You and your art will continue to live on in the hearts of those that love you.

:'( That is so sad to hear he died so early of an age. You're lucky to have met him, epcially since he was famous, I bet he was a really great guy.

Indeed he was.

That's why this whole thing just feels surreal.

Thanks for the comment. Hope you're doing alright. ^_^

Turner was an inspirational artist to myself. His style was definitely a style of it's own, even though there were others I'm sure influenced him as he influenced others. Most definitely a fan of the witchblade series both for the artwork, the story by Christine Wohl and his ability to convey the emotion and mood of her writing into a visual piece.

Ugh. What a punch in the gut this news was. I've met him and been around him a few times when he was at a comic retailer friend of mine's store, and he was a truly kind generous person. Not to mention one hell of an artist!
