Description Instead of posting a journal entry for everyone to read, which seems to be the standard, I wanted to do something different, maybe start a new tradition here on as a way to remember artist that have been taken away from us by posting one of their pieces of artwork for everyone to see...

"I did not draw this picture, this was drawn by the late great Michael Turner, I am in no way associated with this drawing...I want to post a picture that was most fitting for this tragic loss to the comic industry and the way that we all feel about this loss"

Since Heroes Con, I have been thinking once again about Mike Wieringo, and the fact that it's now almost been a year since he left us. So it felt really somewhat surreal and shocking when I just read that Michael Turner passed away...!

It is not fair that so many artist have passed away recently

I've followed Michael Turner's work since Witchblade and one can say that he was one of the most influential artists in the 90's. His way of drawing beautiful women has been emulated by so many other artists out there and what I liked alot in his work was his amazing sense of detail...which leads me to say that everyday when I sit down at my computer, I am surrounded by all my Batman collectibles...one of those being the Michael Turner Batman figure from Identity Crisis and the detail in that figure is just amazing.

Mikes' family & friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Michael W. Kellar

***I hope that the admin here at understand my reasoning behind posting this art from the late great Michael Turner and will not remove it from my gallery***

This is really something hard to read and harder to believe. I was always in awe that he lived such a full life even when he was ill. He gave his all and shared his God given gift with the world and that brought smiles to everyone's face. The thing that gets to me most at this moment was that he is was only a few years older than me and was taken. Also I just finished coloring a Supergirl piece for a friend of mine follwoing Michael Turner's style, since he is such a big fan of his. This really brought tears to my eyes.
Rest in peace buddy.

The only thing worse than having your favorite comic book character dying is when your favorite artist dies.
