Holyā¦ Him and Van Slatt are the reason I found a forum Iād been frequenting for the better part of a decade now. Canāt say I knew the guy but still. Sadness.
same here. He is why I build steampunkād cases here in Tokyo. Stupid cars.
A goddamned shame, we exchanged e-mails a while back when I was building a keyboard and he was incredibly helpful all the way along. A great, great guy.
Ouch. Now I regret not having purchased that machineā¦ not the dead-artist investment angle, but because I think he deserved another āya done greatā before we lost him.
The world just became a little less full of wonder.
I havenāt commented here in quite awhile. I created this login just to say that I am deeply saddened by this. He was an incredible maker, a charismatic and all around wonderful person. He inspired me, and I think he also generally pushed the āmaker cultureā forward in ways that nobody else had.
I will miss him greatly.
That is dreadful news. His breathtaking work may continue to inspire others, but I canāt imagine what else he might have created given the decades more he should have had.
His artistic touch will last too impress many more too come. Rest in peace.
What a shock. Rich and I exchanged emails after I built the first āVillanizerā steampunked guitar, he was such a kind, genuine guy. Unbelievable. Goes to show, take nothing for granted. Rest in Peace DM.
Sad, really sad. He sold me on steampunk when I first thought it was just another silly idea. But his work was original, and it was art.
What a bummer.
