Artist's Comments

In Memory of Michael Turner
who passed away this week.
I felt like honoring him with a tribute..

After Stan Winston, George Carlin, and now Michael Turner, June 2008 is becoming one very dark month..

one of the biggest influences on me and my art in the late 90's, He made his name on Witchblade and Witchblade/Tomb Raider, going on to launch is own series Fathom in '98, eventually creating and fronting Aspen Comics in '04.

I was truly shocked about this, Turner was an original. He had a style that was so recognizable. I fell in love with his work in my formative years, and i hope that his influence can still be seen in my own style, because i learned so much from him. I know i can see it in others, and it will truly live forever thru them..

RIP Michael

OMG why are all the influential people involved in the media dying in one month. God bless them may they all rest in peace. BTW love the work, such sadness and sorrow expression.

He will indeed be missed. He was one of my greatest inspirations.

A fitting tribute....

Nothing else need be said.

If love is the key....I am the door. I only ask that you don't abuse the key.

This is a fantastic tribute. I think he'd be proud :)

This month has sucked so much for me and possibly millions of other people. George Carlin (One of my most favorite comics), Stan Winston, and now Michael Turner. I had just got some copies of WitchBlade the past month or so and I fell in love with it. Rest in Peace man.
