What sad news - just this weekend finished reading JOYLAND, the Stephen King novel with his terrific cover art - he'll really be missed.
His elegant cover for my book EASY DEATH undoubtedly sold a lot of copies!
He did some great stuff for the Hard Case line, for sure.
Very sad.
I was extremely lucky to have one of his paintings on my novel SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT. I believe he's one of the greats of this genre, perhaps the only great of this generation.
