Bill Narum was a friend like a brother, someone with whom I'd worked
since the AWHQ days. Late Monday afternoon he FTP'd off the graphics for
the packaging for the CD I just finished producing of Shaidri and me
with Doug Harman.

He was found dead on the ground today, out at his place in Acorn TX.

Hank,

For many of us, 2009 has been a very bad year with respect to losing
friends and family.. I know exactly how you feel and send my deepest
sympathies.

I'm very sorry for his family, for you and for Shaidri. May he rest in
peace and may light perpetual shine upon him.

Sorry about your friend, Hank.

If they found him on the ground he prolly didn't even have time to
call for help - small consolation, I know.

What a loss. Great graphics-ist. He did the covers to "Tres Hombres"
and "Fandango", right?

"Tres" is my "Abbey Road". "Fandango" still gives me cold chills.

Hang in there.

While many of the things of which he has written on this page will never

Huge stage sets that people still talk about.

He did fantastic work. He and whoever "hipgnosis" are are the
only people whose cover art actually caused me to be able to
remember their names. Well, and Cal Shenckel.

Texas used to mean something. Here's to hoping it will again.

My sympathies to you, Hank. It hurts losing friends, dammit...
especially those who've really touched your life and who've been
a blessing to have known.

I've been wearing my beard cut square for a while, and coincidentally,
I'm wearing my ZZTop tee shirt today.

As you say, great covers (I've just had a look at them all).

He was also a genius (I don't say that casually) at web design, and
extremely advanced at DHTML. He eschewed Flash because he could write
code that loaded so much more efficiently and was ultimately much more
flexible.

I was at Eddie Wilson's house earlier this year with Bill, and I bitched
about Flash, at the time there being no current plug for the older Mac
OS I was running. Bill said something about Flash being unnecessary if
you knew how to write code. That afternoon he stopped by with a DVDR
disc of his demos, and we popped it into my old laptop. Anything an
image could do in the way of motion busted out all over my screen. To
say I was impressed is an understatement.

Deepest regrets to you for the loss and send my sympathies to his other
friends and family. I hope he went peacefully and painlessly.
