But this post is special.
A good friend of mine recently passed away. I didn't know him for very long, and I've never even seen him before, but all the same, in the short time I knew him, we were good friends. Adam Dellacecca, whom I knew as Brutallo when I played World of Warcraft with him, was someone I always enjoyed being with and talking to, even if it was always through a microphone in front of my computer. He mentioned to me that he liked my artwork, and that he wanted me to make a color caricature of him, but he couldn't send me his photo, so I made this drawing of his character instead, since it is the way I knew him best, anyway.
It's a shame that he won't be able to see this, but I know that this is something that he would have wanted. I sent the original drawing to his family as a sympathy gift, so now all I have is this digital scan. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed making it, and may Adam rest in peace, knowing he is remembered very fondly.

Hi Lawrence,
I have no idea if this will get to you, but i just wanted to say hello. I am Adam's mom. What you wrote about him really touched me. Adam spoke of you often, because he knew I would be interested in your art since I also love to create. You are very good. He told me I would like your work, and he was right. It is sort of miraculous when I stumble on something like this after so much time has passed. It is good to know he touched so many lives in a positive way, and i know he enjoyed your company. Thank you for making him smile and thinking of him fondly. As I always will of you. I miss him every minute, but I still know how to smile. Thanks for reminding me of that.
