    Wow. Damn. 27?

    I sold him an ESG record once. Didn't know the guy well but he seemed to be a chill cat the few times we crossed paths.

    Man... Rest In Power.

    i don't think it's out of line. i am sure he was a good guy and i respected his art and hustle. it is widely known what he died from and all i am saying is you can avoid going out like this...

    but if you feel i am in the wrong lets just leave it at my R.I.P.

    legend for sure

    Legend may be strong, but this is significant. And sad.

    As for bringing up his addiction/cause of death, this is a little different than an MJ death.

    Look, dude's story and background were as much a part of his art as the papers of his collages, or his name on a bridge. Heroin was a part of that, as a way of rebelling against his upbringing. And, it is his cause of death.
    As many close to him predicted it would be.

    This is sad, and tragic, and a loss of talent, and a father, and a son, and an artist.

    RIP

    My comment was addressed at Reed not you Behemoth and it was more the tone he used.
    I've had a few good friends succumb to drugs and i guess it cuts a little raw to hear of another talented young man go so early.

    I can't really have a tone on the internet but i meant that in the best way possible. I was a fan of his art for the record
