    He used to comment occasionally on reddit. I interacted with him there once. He seemed very gracious and down-to-earth.

      Ain’t that the truth!

      If you got him talking about his art, you could end up in these long, deep conversations with him, and he was always just so damn nice.

      I wish like hell the account I talked to him on the most didn’t get nuked during the protests. I can’t go back and revisit those conversations now.

      The guy was just well rounded, smart, and as you said very down to earth.

      It wouldn’t be accurate to call him a friend, but I liked him a lot. Like, if he had figured out where I live and had knocked on my door, I would have invited him in; there’s family members I don’t let in my door, and I’m paranoid as hell about strangers showing up uninvited.
