This will probably get bumped to OT, but yeah, I actually found out from Lee yesterday, couldn't believe it. Still, 93 and what a career... but to end on Dick Tracy.

He was an amazing painter, and I think that with the current digital spew (too many matte artists, not enough who aren't just collage monkeys), his way of working and skill may not be seen again.

Truly one of the great artists. :sleep

End of an era. Was hoping to meet him one day. A true artist. At least his legacy is passed on through his son. RIP.

His work speaks for itself.
