It's sad news that he passed over on Wendesday. :raincloud

Larry Elmore's site also has the news.

10-31-05, 05:50 PM Keith Parkinson's one of the greatest artists -- second to Larry Elmore -- of my generation to work for TSR and on many Dungeons & Dragons products. He's like our own "Jack Kirby."

My hats off to you my good man. Your passing shall be mourned by all Realms lovers. (Or should be).

A moment of silence if you please.

11-03-05, 01:15 AM feel almost ashamed to admit that, but where can i see his work? i really didn`t know him and guess i should close that lack of knowledge.

Some of his art are in the first link. I'm not sure if his site is up anymore after this. :( WOTC also has some of his art up on thier site as a dedication to him. Otherwise, he did some of the 2e FR and Dlance covers plus others. Or if you've seen the pictures on the Everquest computer games, those are his.

11-03-05, 11:30 AM Though I must aswell admit that mr. Parkinsons art is not the most well known here in Finland, I recognized his style and use of colour.
Such a sin that a fine man like him has to go so early, while others who'd never decerve another day in existence continue their lives.
My next toast will be for him!
