Damn, such a shame. Sad day.

That man processed metric tons of Nightmare Fuel by himself daily. Where will all that go now?

Unfortunate indeed, even if not totally unexpected at his age...

By an unfortunate coincidence Patrick Woodroffe, another surrealist born in 1940, passed away on May 12th. Not a good time to be a 74-year-old artist it seems :(
