Michael Turner Tribute

When I first got into comics (96/97), Turner's Witchblade -and style of art was among the reasons I got hooked. He seemed to have influenced many arist around that time, it was obvious browsing in the comic store and he clearly had an edge and unique style over others. Some of the succes and joy I've attained, as an artist through my love for comics, is through him. Michael, thank you for that.
It was heartbraking to hear that Turner had lost such a part of his body awhile back, had to put up such a tremendous fight, be so brave and endure. Still, sentiments allround, from back then untill recently, were of his attitude towards it all, something to be praised indeed. Yet, it deepens the sadness of his pasing.
I was unaware that this horrible cancer returned so direly, regrettably the news of his pasing only reached me a day ago...
I hope his attitude on life changed or influenced some along the way, appart from his great sourche of artistic inspiration. Strength and the best to his friends and family, I hope there is a wonderfull place or fulfilling rest for such a worthy soul.

Thanks and praises Mike, you did leave quite a mark though ;-)
