It's hard to know what to say, I was a GREAT fan of both Frank and Ken's work...still am-I'll never forget Ken and his Fantastic Paintings...they always touch my life as a life long fan...it leaves a BIG HOLE in the whole idea of FANTASY ART. They, both Frank and Ken, are a hard act to follow, a great artist he was, KEN KELLY'S ART WILL LIVE FOREVER IN MY HEART...Goodbye old friend...

I have been a fan since I was a kid-Ken was great...they will be missed by all as do people miss Frank- I can never top such GREAT MEN as they were- I'm glad we had them! May we never forget! But then again...we will still be reminded of them each time we see that sketch or that painting, and say, "I wish I could Paint and draw like that!"

Last year,2021, I wrote Ken 3 times and asked him to paint a memorial for my Dad. It was a WW2 memorial and his name was the same as the super hero. Ken asked me an hours++ worth of info and then magically painted artwork that draws me near my Dad everyday. I will never be able to thank him enough.
I developed a strong relationship with Ken and felt like I knew him forever. He was my friend and a extremely talented and caring person I will truly miss.
I pray for his family that they may find peace as Ken would want it want it that way.
Rest In Peace Ken.
