My Condolences
A great lost to the industry. Not just for is artwork whether you liked it or not, but a great guy. I feel honored that I've meet him many times in the past.

Godspeed Michael, you will be missed.

I'm not familiar with this artist, but what I've seen of his work in a few article I read it's amazing. The guy was only 37-years-old. Way to young! As they say live everyday as it was your last and don't put off your dreams. Although his career was a short one Mr. Turner pursued his passion.
