Mike Wieringo Passes Away

[PhotoJones]

I wasn't aware Ringo was 44,.. I thought he was new and in his late twenties.

Go figure.

Ringo had been in the game for quite a while. Still, 44 is too young to go.

Cully Hamner's eulogy for Ringo said that he got into the comic industry in the '90s, so he was new. He apparently just got into the industry in his 30s rather than fresh out of college or high school like a lot of other artists. I wonder what he did before becoming a comic artist.

He worked a non-union job in a grocery store.

Took a look back at his work on Deviantart. Such great talent.

RIP Wieringo.

Did you make that? That's very cool.

I'm not the one who made it. I found it on a perusal through Wieringo-related art and articles and thought it was fantastic.

It's a little distorted, but still cool. I can't because I'm at work, but someone should resize the image, specifically the height. It's a tad too long.

What's the point to come into a memorial thread just to bad mouth the person it's been created for? And then you act surprised or taken aback by people's reactions.

I never bad-mouthed him. I just gave constructive criticism, so he could improve in the future.


Haha. Okay, I'll leave now.

Wow, really? The fact that I'm wasting time at my jobs while I try to finally put a portfolio together doesn't seem as bad anymore.

Your characters look okay, just work on some action scenes. Or, just become a cover artist.

Yeah, I've gotta quit being lazy and work more on backgrounds. But I really, really, really don't want to talk about my ****ty art in a thread about Ringo. It's embarrassing.

I'll do it at home in a few hours if no one else has done it by then.
