Here I am, July '08 and i'm just now finding this out. It's crazy, because i've been trying to break into comics for the longest, and I exchanged a few emails with Drew where he was greatly encouraging to me. (Those who read it might recall an issue of the Tenth by Tony Daniels where I wrote a letter-- under the same pen name-- praising "whoever the colorist was" for doing such a great coloring job. Issue #10 I think, or thereabouts.) That was when I became a fan. I've yet to see someone who can do the things with digital colors that Drew could. He told me he admired the legends, people like Sorayama and Olivia. Me being an aspiring writer who wants to be as good as the greats, people like Ellis and Moore, I could definitely relate. Everything these people are saying is true. The guy didn't know me from Adam, and he practically did everything he could to help me out. He even said he might consider helping me out with the colors for the cover to my submission to Image. Such a cool guy. Truly a loss. I'm saddened as if I knew the guy personally. (wish I did, for that matter.) I hoped to meet him one day. Maybe hang out, have a beer. My condolensces, definitely. Wow, man. Here I am, July ‘08 and i’m just now finding this out.

He had created artwork of a girl whose image has become very near and dear to my heart, and I actually began this search to learn licensing information. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.
