Heya, Creature. Made something for you. I hope you like it, where ever you've wound up. A couple of other artists have been using the idea of a golden orb of inspiration and I found that idea to be just all too perfect. I'm sure you've been able to see now how much of an inspiration, and just all around beautiful Creature, you've been to everyone.

And if I may be overly saccharine for a moment...
I have... so many regrets. I had meant to reach out, talk, just be... a friend, but always told myself now was a bad time or that you were just plain too busy and that I shouldn't disturb. I was always so cowardly, telling myself later, later. Until It was too late. I had always meant to draw you something, a nice little themed idea for a portrait. It was meant to be a dramatic piece, you holding an artist's pen, upwards like a conductor about start a symphony. But you mentioned being burnt out on art at that time, and I thought it was a little inappropriate. Then I forgot. And then it was too late.

I've been a wreck since you've gone.
But then I remembered the few time we were in communications, mostly professional. Remembering all the times we discussed those silly, extra-as-hell ideas for the big group pics and other works you made for me. As strange as it sounds, I felt so honored when you let me buy stuff and mail it to you from LVFC. Remembering these helps pull me out of the dark a lot.

So here I am now, trying to make up for my shortcomings. A gift to you, and more to come later (I'm totally making that conductor pic once I've recovered). Those of you reading this, there is something I hope you have noticed. I only really knew Creature so well, mostly professionally, and yet his passing has completely halted my day to day life with grief and utterly devastated me. Just by being from the outside, looking in. Just from seeing how he treated others and others treated him.
That's how important he is. That's how GOOD he is.

That's all for now.

Stay Gold, Creature.  Creature_Unknown
