Sad News. Michael Turner loses his battle with cancer last night.
I was saddened to learn that one of my favorite artists, Michael Turner, succumbed to his battle with the bone-based
cancer chondrosarcoma last night. His work was exceptional, but it was his demeanor, courage, and personality at the
conventions which made me a fan of his. We rarely are able to meet someone who steps above and beyond what life throws at
them. Mr. Turner's most precious gift was not the talent he had as an artist, but the strength of character he displayed
battling through his illness. My symapthies to his family and many friends and adoring fans.
