Even the Talos work was amazing. Sad sad day. I loved his stint on the spider-man comics. Even the Talos work was amazing. Sad sad day.

It breaks my heart that there will never be another Wieringo daily sketchblog update. It was his art on Fantastic Four that drew me back into collecting superhero comics for the first time since I was ten.

I had not met him personally, but I became a fan through his daily sketch blogging. He was a omic artist in a very true sense. He loved the medium since he was a kid and lived the dream of becoming one. He got to draw Flash, and the Fantastic Four, and Spiderman for a living. I always enjoyed reading his insight and marveled at his drawings. His style throws back to the days before the Mcfarlane/Liefeld era of roided-up superfreaks with a clean. realistic, almost wholesome appeal. My favorite of his bloggings was a series of sketches he did that reinterpreted original drawings he did as a kid. To apply the creativity and wonder of his youth to his adult abilities I think encapsulates what his craft was all about. I've never met him, but I will miss him.
