Lost an artist and friend...

[HellHound]

Dextra just got home from work, and got an email telling us that an old net-friend and frined from the bod-mod industry (we're both ex-body piercers), Keith Alexander, died in a cycling accident.

While we both met Keith initially through rec.arts.bodyart in the young days of the internet, we got to know him in person as he came up to Dextra's events for her birthdays, and we went down to New York for the first RABCon (rec.arts.bodyart convention) where Keith performed brands on both Dextra and I - mine were done on the sidewalk in front of his shop, in a very cool atmosphere surrounded by friends of ours from around the US and Canada.

I'm glad to say I'll be wearing some of Keith's work with me for the rest of my life now that he is no longer with us.

Jason,

I am sorry for your loss. I'm sure Keith was a good man.

Jason, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Unfortunately I know how losing a friend can feel. If you need to talk about it further then ENWorld is always here for you and you can e-mail me if you like.

My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.
