For my friend, Sean Hartter 1973-2013.

I find that this whole mortality thing is a bit wearing at times....

I just received a phone call that no one wishes to either give or receive. My friend and fellow artist, Sean Hartter's wife just called me this morning to let me know the heartbreaking news that Sean had passed away last night due to asthma complications.... My thoughts go out to his wife and kids. This is terrible and I am so sorry for their loss.

Sean, I am proud to have been to be your friend over the last few years. Your were a good man and a talented and imaginative artist. It was an honor to know you. You inspired me greatly as you were always an man full of booth love for your family and your art. I will miss you, man. Rest in peace, my friend.

If you are unfamiliar with his work, please stop by and check it out. It is fun work:

The Sean Hartter Memorial Fund

In the early hours of April 27th, family, friends, and fans of art everywhere suffered a great loss with the untimely death of Sean Hartter. While he was an innovative and prolific artist, Sean was first and foremost a devoted husband to Allison and father of Griffin and Gabriel. He was a valued friend who was always willing to lend an ear when you needed it or make you laugh until it hurt. The notion that a heart so big and generous would stop beating after a short 39 years on this Earth is both shocking and cruel to all who knew him.

Tragically, Sean's death came at a time when his artwork was finally starting to get the recognition it deserved. Any of Sean's nearest and dearest will tell you that he never fully accepted just how gifted he was. His brain bursted with creativity- his artwork included various mediums, from the simple black sharpie and pen to recent adventures creating action figures. He made music, wrote stories, but finally got a taste of recognition from his "Alternate Universe" creations.

The unfairness of losing this talented man at such a young age can not be expressed enough. His death was so unexpected that it was not at all planned for. Sean's friends would like to help his family through this devastating loss in the only way we can- by assisting with the tremendous expense of funeral costs and final arrangements. Because time is so important, please share this link as much as possible. Thank you so much for your help and for the outpouring of love and condolences that have been showered on his family with this enormous loss.

....Ahhhhh The Halycon Days of Yore.....

Hey Folks,

...That moment of amusement you get when you remember that you designed yourself as a villain henchman in a Godzilla cartoon in the 1990's.

... I am the one with the beard. ;)

That was from "Godzila the Series", for an episode entitled "S.C.A.L.E.".

Cheers!
