Having learned that Mike Wieringo passed away of a heart attack on Sunday, at the age of 44, I cannot honestly convey the potent grief I feel as I type this. The man and his work meant a very great deal to me and I know I'm not alone in this. I could go on and on about him, about his work, explain to you all why it's so great and what makes a Ringo! comic better than all the other slop on the shelves but this isn't about stringing words together prettily.

Right now, this is about hurting, about grieving, about supporting each other through a very hard time. Because believe me, this world has suffered a great loss.

We're gonna miss you, Mike.
Thanks for everything.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day that
the hit count reached the quadruple digits,
let alone that it would do it twofold!

2000+. Nice. Someone wanna claim a
kiriban sketch?

Anybody?

......hello?

Hey, kids.
Commissions are now open. (lol is that even how you'd say it?)
Regardless, they are.

I'm not going to pretend as if I know what I'm doing.
I don't.
Not with commissions, anyway.
So I can't really give you prices, unless you'd like
a bookmark...
or a button...

I love character design, though. So if you have some
crazy half-elf dragon mage water-walker that you want drawn
let.
me.
know.

Forgive me, but I don't do anything digital.
Unless you count Photoshop tweaking-
(like Auto Levels, or Auto Contrast).
I don't think you do.

Also, if you want to collab,
or even art trade,
lemme know!
That would be wicked fun.

(unnecessary) sidenote: you have the freedom to ask for
whatever you may want, but conversely I reserve the right
to decline.

So...contact me through AIM (fullmetal elrich)
if you want to discuss a commission.
I look forward to (hopefully) talking with yous guys!
