I made some dioramas when I was younger. But what this guy did is just fantastic. Like many others, when I first saw one of his pictures some years ago, I was really fooled. What I saw was just incredible.
ReplyDeleteSad day, but we can continue to admire his videos. He was really good. What you might call a REAL artist.
An amazing talent to the end. A troubled man to the end. Your work lives on Mr. Smith, Rest in peace. Thanks for the post Jesse.
