Yeah a real shame. Me and some buds were talking about him in the pub last night. Back in 2016 he was at a comic festival in the U.K. and we went to see him. We fully expected everyone would rush to see him so we queued up real early but when the doors opened almost everyone walked right by him. Meant I was second at his table so got a chance to have a chat with him and he was really friendly and a joy to watch as he sketched for us. Went back later in the day as he had a huge piece of paper on the wall for one of his large live drawings and it was amazing to watch him bounce across the sheet adding bits here and there until it all came together. Genius!
