    Default Glen Orbik RIP

    According to http://www.newsarama.com/24467-glen-...way-at-51.html Glen Orbik passed away yesterday, at the far too young age of 52. This is some pretty heartbreaking news, he was such an outstanding artist. Rest in peace Glen, at least you are no longer in pain.

    Yeah, that is very sad news. He was an amazing artist. I'm glad I have a remarque of his in my CD's It.

    Oh no. This is very sad news. He actually has one of my books in his possession and was going to remarque it for me. I had no idea he was sick...

    Wow, way, way too young.

    Will forever cherish his remarques in my IT Editions as well as his original painting used for the Cemetery Dance 25th Anniversary DJ that hangs proudly in my library….

    RIP Mr. Orbik...

    That is very sad news I knew he was suffering with Cancer. I was supposed to send him a copy of IT for a remarque as well.

    What a great artist and I'm glad he was able to leave his impression on this world

    So sad. His cover artwork for It is one of my favorite pieces of all time.

    A personal favorite. His original JOYLAND cover, among other sweet work for Hard Case Crime and elsewhere, will remain in my heavy rotation.

    This is really sad. I was in touch with him before the 2015 HF began to do a remarque and he sent me a detailed email explaining that he would be under treatment for a while, but would be more than happy to contribute for, 2016. He came across as a very kind and caring soul, eager to help. May the Lord be with you, sir!!!

    So saddened read this. A great paintslinger gone far too soon. My thoughts to Glen's family and friends. His work will continue to influence, inspire and encourage me in my work.
    Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!

    (Except my Gunslinger First Edition. That ain't going nowhere. It's the only one I'm keeping, can't let that go)
