Oh man; he was an icon in the industry and I loved his work. You
could tell a lot of the times, without looking at the credits, when he
worked on something. That's rare in the industry to tell... which
shows just how good he was.

He did sign for me years ago and was a good signer. I'd sent something
cheap and he sent back a gorgeous photo in its place. I guess he'd
been ill and didn't sign anymore.
