Seth Fisher, R.I.P.

I would be remiss not to mention the untimely death of a true gemstone amongst illustrators, Seth Fisher.  Being familiar with his work and a big fan of the vision and quirkiness of a truly unique artist, I'm saddened to hear that he's moved on from this mortal coil.  Many comic sites and artists have been lamenting this terrible news, but it's most heartening to see an outpouring of support on the Barbelith Forums in this thread right here.  If you have a chance, please check his personal website noted in the above link.  The linework is truly inspiring in its creativity, its complexity, its devotion to incredulous detail, and its obstinate weirdness and stands as an everlasting testament to a burgeoning career cut down well before its time.
