The Master has Left the Building

[Richard]

I am sorry for the bluntness, but there is really no delicate way to say this: The man we knew as The Master, Julius Zimmerman, passed away November 8th from terminal cancer.

While some of you may have received messages from his brother Rick via regular mail announcing his sickness, myself and Dave were asked by the man himself:

"I will be composing a notice of some sort to tell all my fans and bidders about what is going on, but for the time being I would like you both to keep it under your hat."


Thus many of you who sent in messages asking about his health will have noticed that they were deleted before reaching the Group for the above reason, and for rudeness, I do sincerely apologise.

As of now, we do not know the status of any past or future commissions since neither of us have been have been contacted by his family, and since he did not get along well with any of them, I do not know the status of his estate.

But for now concerning the status of the Groups, that too is in limbo, however for the time being they will be kept open.


We thank you all for the support everyone has shown The Master over the years and do hope he is in a better place ... oogling the girls he drew and meeting the people who he cherished in his life.


Thank you very much,

Richard & Dave
