This is really sad, I used to see his drawings all the time on my Instagram and it was so sudden. He got me into drawing and really thinking about understanding perspective; I'm not good at drawing but man did it help my photography.

Absolute loss. I don't know if it was a heart attack or maybe a pulmonary embolism... he had covid before and I think the long flights might have been taking a toll.

Yes he's had a lot of travel. I met him in Paris last week. He and his entourage flew from Paris to Portugal to Poland and back to Paris all within 7-10 days. He's done several events in Paris the weekend before his death. I suspect he was fatigued and caused a bit of hypertension. I don't know if they were far away from a hospital or how long it took them to get there, or the severity of the heart attack, or if they gave an aspirin to help as a blood thinner(or even if that would help). But, so sad..a genius, lost at 47, I was reeling and so down the last 2 days.
