Hello all,
Just came across his official web site -- only 47! What a terrible shame... And I guess that means that he started doing work for TSR when he was in his 20's!
I feel awkward saying this, but his painting style was not my favourite of the stable of TSR artistes. It always looked a bit, I dunno, blocky for my tastes. And I never cared for the " '80s bikini babe" look he made for the drow on the cover of
GDQ1-7, although the golem-like fire giants were a nice touch. I always preferred the outre work of Erol Otus, or Clyde Caldwell and Larry Elmore's stuff.
Still, he was quite a talented fellow, and I'm sad that he's gone from us at an appallingly early age!
Cheers,
John
