There are many videos of him painting, I am going to watch some now. He was amazing, rest in peace.

And no, discourse, this topic is not similar to the one from 19 years ago about who is worse, Saddam or Kim Jung Il.

I have never heard of him but just watched a video of him at work and I am absolutely floored at what he could do freehand, without any sort of sketching beforehand. Extreme talent.

Thanks for sharing this. I need to watch some more.
