Probably someone you know and heard of many times but didn't give him much time of the day. A great friend of mine and talented ended his battle with cancer last night and will be missed greatly. I've attempted to make contact with his family to get more info, I hadn't been able to get a reply back to get details...but I'm sure we'll get those in time.

It was very upsetting to think it had gone that far and I wasn't able to give him the attention he wanted from me. I kept expecting him to come back so we could talk some more, but it was too late to get in contact with him. Still many things I owed him that I never had the time to get to.

He always wanted a Smerf and Snork porn pic. Not of Smerfette mind you, but of a Male smerf and a girl snork, cause it was something different.

At least one phone conversation, but I'm very terrible on the phone and when he wanted to talk I never felt comfortable talking on the phone to friends, and more so friends from the internet. I've got a bit better confidence now and I wanted to owe that to him before it was too late.

Funny to think how when there is his huge wave of Ed Edd and Eddy fanart being splashed around Tumblr now, he was always into the show and treated Double D like his spirit animal. While people on tumblr are slashing DD and Kevin, he had a more apt pairing of DD and Mandy from Grim Adventures. I so wanted to speak to him about this wave of new DD appreciation, I wonder if it was a sign.

I didn't give his characters much attention, cause it's really hard to visualize someone else's characters in prose only, but I was able send him a birthday present of art and things that he was very grateful for, yet I always wished I could return the things he helped me out with.

Personality
Shryp

There are many things he worked on around the net, being a great friend to many people, always takeing time to speak out his mind and we couldn't give much back for his affection, but we always loved it. I wish I could name more of the projects he worked on, but before he became too ill to work anymore, he was involved with Bleedman's comic Sugarbits.
Goodbye BossSome of you may have heard this already but Dondi Bethea aka:icondmajorboss: who's my editor and writer for Sugarbits and a good friend has recently passed away. He was part of Snafu and and we will cherish his memory and contribution to our team.
We express our deepest sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace.

He commissioned me a few other times too and I'll always thank him for helping me out when he could. Thanks pal, you will be missed.
