Wieringo


I'd like to extend my sympathies to Mike's family, his friends, and his legion of fans. I never got a chance to work with him, but Mike Wieringo brought something unique to our corner of the entertainment universe.

He brought JOY. Every bit of work I ever saw of his, you could feel it. Holy shit, we're telling adventure stories of people doing amazing, wonderful things! This is FUN, goddamit! These stories should be FUN.

Warren linked to the above piece of art already, but I'd had it on my hard drive forever as an "inspiration piece", to remind myself of a certain tone for writing. Wieringo captured that tone better than almost anyone I can think of, with his re-imagining of Buck Rogers. For what little it's worth, the reason I loved Wieringo's work was because it made me want to live in that world.

Last night, I pulled out a card set I have of Mike's sketches for a series of cards for Marvel. Just looking at the clean lines and the expressiveness in each, I have to say that Mike packed the "FUN" in his drawing.

His Ghost Rider was just so cool. You could see it as an animated character - as you could see all the characters he drew.

Damn...

If you loved his Buck Rogers revamp (and I do), you should see the rest of his stuff on deviantart.

The man has LOST character sketches, Harry Potter fan art, and -- best of all -- concept art for a book he was going to write "someday" called Saturn Kid or Prince of Saturn.

I cannot believe that he's gone.

I started reading superhero comics because of his run on "The Flash." Absolute joy came out of his pencils.

David Press said...

yeah I am quite sad about this. His sketches came with my morning coffee and always started my day off on the right foot and inspired me to do more everyday to that level of joy and excellence. I'm at a loss for words in regards to this tragedy. Besides the obvious condolences to his friends and family.

Having stopped buying comics ages ago (sorry, all), I only experienced Wieringo through Warren Ellis's brief glimpse of The Engine and Wieringo's own site. It was absolute beauty. I'm sad I won't have the chance to see more of it.

Holy shit. Mike and his brother were roommates of mine my freshman year of college. I had no idea he passed away. He was a great guy.

I had to deal with Mike once or twice when I worked at Wizard. A real nice guy and a great artist. I was always pushing for him. Loved his style.

I didn't really know him, and I don't know how old he was, but he didn't seem much older than me.

Either way, far too young.
