This man was truly one of the great artists of our time. I will miss him. A real character and maverick to be sure, but a very talented one who certainly left his mark in our industry. I was fortunate to meet him early in my career and got to see him in action. I always admired his fearless and somewhat reckless approach to make his point about something. He definitely had strong convictions about our industry and art form, which he dearly loved.
