Mike Wieringo has passed away at age 44.
By all accounts, the friendly, welcoming nature of his artwork paled in comparison to the gracious and kind nature of the man.
Thank the internet and curse it at the same time; Wieringo's availability to us all through bulletin boards and the like gave the fan community the sense that we knew him at least a little, though he'd only met a fraction of us. His work lives on and can be accessed with a mouse-click or two. But sadly, it's a constant reminder of what a huge talent and a huge heart that we have lost.
Goodbye, Mike Wieringo. "You'll be missed" hardly seems to cover it.
