Description I never draw tributes like this, but his work on Tellos really inspired me in 1999-2000.
I'm sorry I never got to meet the chap in person.....

A DA page has been set up for tributes/Wieringo-inspired work: [link]

It is true, all art is immortal. It was a hell of a run while it lasted.
