:( This is sad, my condolences to his family, I've always enjoyed his artwork.

I never realized how much of a fan I was of his till a few days ago when he came up in a conversation of mine. I loved his style and his creativity. I'd recommend Tellos to anyone that's looking for a silly, fun fantasy adventure.
I know I for one will miss him.
If you'd like to see some posts about him, from people that have actually met Mike here are some links.

This is stunning and sad. I literally screamed "WHAT!" when I saw the headline. Tragic.
Tragic! Rest in Peace 'Ringo!

The other Fanboy Radio podcast has been reposting some of their old shows featuring Mike. Some great stuff in there, and definitely a few tear-worthy moments. His loss is a major blow to the industry, IMO.
