Description
1hr speedpainting of the great Robin Williams that I did yesterday, still (kind of) in shock.
To be honest, I am rarely very deeply affected or moved by celebrity deaths or generally the passing of people I did not know personally. But this one truly shocked and touched me - to the point where I just had to watch "Dead Poets Society" again and literally bawled my eyes out.
Robin Williams' movies were such an integral part of my childhood and I'm sure many of you feel the same way. He just had a gift for making people happy. Still, in all the roles he played, there always seemed to be an underlying hint of sadness beneath all the funny faces and the laughter. It is devastating to realize that after all, this truly seemed to reflect his state of mind and soul.
We all lost a great one, and he will most definitely be missed. But his movies remain, and they will continue to make us laugh, albeit with the occasional tear in the corner of the eye.

If you are struggling with depression or mental illness in general, please do not hesitate to seek help. Mental illness is a disease of the mind, and just like a physical disease it is nothing to be ashamed of.
If you know someone who is struggling, help them by offering your support and showing them you care.
