>tfw bernie wrightson has made his last piece of art

"Dear Fans and Friends,

I apologize for our silence for the past few months. Last November Bernie began falling again, and having obvious problems with perception. He had to undergo yet another brain surgery to relieve bleeding, and then spend several weeks undergoing in-patient rehabilitation. Unfortunately, it appears that he has lasting damage: he has extremely limited function on his left side, and is unable to walk or reliably use his left hand, among other limitations.

We have had to come to the sad conclusion that he is now effectively retired: he will produce no new art, and he is unable to attend conventions. Should this situation change I will happily announce it here.

He can still sign his name (in fact he was signing Kickstarter prints in the hospital!), and is otherwise pretty healthy and has good cognition. We expect to continue releasing signed prints, and offering occasional pieces of art for sale from the collection that remains. We both thank all of you for your continuing support and good wishes!

All our best,
Liz and Bernie Wrightson"

That's really sad to hear, I got the chance to meet and briefly speak with him a few years ago, he was an exceedingly kind person and great artist. Hope he continues to stay well otherwise.

Cool you got to meet him, yeah I suppose it's mostly my selfish fear of losing out on more art since I don't know anything about him as a person but sounds like he can hang in there a few more years.
