“I cannot express to you how important an artist he was, and how that’s eclipsed by the amazing soul that lived in him.  Had he never written or played a note, or never painted or drew, or never created grand pieces of sculpture, or never compiled visually stunning video art, he still would be a singularly inspirational figure and a truly unique and accomplished person; he was blessed with childlike wonder without the silly naivete, and knew himself as well as anyone I know.

He worked to support a life-long art habit and we were all the benefactors with The Burning Artist(s) Sale, Killer Haven, and the many other art/music projects he was a part of.  Thank you Kevin.”
