The man was an amazingly talented artist. Some of his stuff really blows me away.

Oh, that is a shame. His art was fantastic! My sympathies to his friends and family.

Well that is a some sad news to start the day with.

His artwork was amazing. If someone publish a book of his artwork I would buy it.

That is a shame. I think it was one of his paintings that convinced Anthony Daniels to take the role of C-3PO.
